Hi guys, I've been lurking the forums for quite some time and have learned a lot from all the members contributions here on TMC. I just finished installing the face lift LED headlights onto my P85 last week - so I decided to go ahead start a build thread. I've already completed all the upgrades below and I'll upload pictures when I get the chance and answer any questions you guys have. The MS has been such a great everyday car, and its fun to tinker with after the kids go to bed!

Nice, do you have instructions for those updates? How does your interior look like. Congrats on the nice ride!
When I die I want to be reincarnated (pun intended) as your next car — the level of care you provide is incredible!
I wouldn't call them full blown instructions, but I did snap a couple of pictures during some of the installs that I'll post soon. You should see the interior when I post up the next gen seat install and the aftermarket steering wheel install
I chose 245/35 to avoid rubbing issues at my ride height and with the spacers. The car barely rubs only when I'm turning into a driveway, other than that no issue. You do loose wheel protection with this tire size but I'm ok with that.
Found a decent deal for a newer 4 piece CF trim set with black accents. Made for a quick and easy weekend project. Sorry, I know I’m missing some steps but I wanted to throw a post together real quick for you guys.

You got a pair of OPolar fans too?!?!? Sweet! I got a pair that clipped on and ran a couple of USB cables to keep them charged. My kids are older and don't like riding in the rear facing seats anymore, but it was a good solution at the time...
the Opolar fans are the best solution I could come up with to cool the third row in the summer. I had one suctioned to each rear side glass point towards the trunk and a third Opolar fan clipped to lip of the sub floor opening. Worked great.
Hopefully you and all your families have been staying safe in these unprecedented times. With all this free time being home, I have a few updates and have a new set of wheels on the way. -Maxton Designs Splitter V1 Kit installed by FILAM Autobody & Body Repair in Houston, TX -Refresh rear bumper & rocker panels installed -Cup holder w/ dual USB retrofit into yacht floor center console -Replaced the air filter (anyone know where to buy a HEPA filter that is the same size?) -Fan type windshield nozzle upgrade -Reorderd the same steering wheel in matte CF from Martin @ www.therustymechanic.com -N2itive camber and toe arms ordered -New wheels! 22x9.5/22x11 ordered First, the best $8.80 I have ever spent. Everyone who has a pre-refresh MS knows how crappy the spray type nozzles are. Mine sprayed everywhere I didn’t need them. Very simple and cheap upgrade. Fan Type Windshield wiper nozzle retrofit by duybile posted Mar 22, 2020 at 9:34 PM The left nozzle is the old version and the right one is newer fan type. Fan Type Windshield wiper nozzle retrofit 4 by duybile posted Mar 22, 2020 at 9:34 PM Fan Type Windshield wiper nozzle retrofit 2 by duybile posted Mar 22, 2020 at 9:34 PM The new fan type nozzle doesn’t need the gasket like the old one. Fan Type Windshield wiper nozzle retrofit 5 by duybile posted Mar 22, 2020 at 9:34 PM Pop the hood. Twist off the plastic line coming off the old nozzle where it meets the T adapter. Reach in the cut out in the hood and disengage the old nozzle (I forgot if it disengages pushing it toward or away from the windshield, but you’ll figure out). Replace with the new nozzle and voila. Should have done this so much sooner. Nice even spay.
Air Filter change: 89ACA699-9C71-40ED-BBC6-283C26C07177 by duybile posted Mar 22, 2020 at 11:31 PM Pop the hood. Remove the plastic panels on the passenger side and the one closest to the windshield. A342A8BF-7F0F-42E3-9975-9BBF95F9EA10 by duybile posted Mar 22, 2020 at 11:31 PM Filter is located close to the firewall on passenger side. Press the tabs on the ends towards the middle of the filter to release it then pull straight out. I’d recommend wiping down the entire inner cavity of the filter housing. 76ACBB10-B5CD-45A8-8C00-76C2C7DD427D by duybile posted Mar 22, 2020 at 11:37 PM Remember the filter is directional. Reinstall.
Pictures with the Maxton kit on Front by duybile posted Mar 23, 2020 at 12:45 AM It wasn’t worth buying the OEM plastic cover that goes over the ‘radiator’, so I just bought a cheap eBay grill and cut it to size. front conversion by duybile posted Mar 23, 2020 at 12:45 AM Make sure you use the supplied bolts to install the front lip. Rivets will fail.
