So is this the N54 or N55?

Thanks! It was like $48, so not to bad, not much more than a factory mount.

I would think it would be universal fit as long as the threads of the tow hook are the same. What is the tread size of the tow hook on a Gen coupe?

This is a 2011 so a N55.

2007-2008 N54 pre facelift
2009-2010 N54 facelift
2011 N55 facelift

Ouch! Well you're welcome to try my tow hook in your car sometime if you'd like.

Also, can't believe I haven't posted this yet.

Found this sticker under the hood! It is for the factory tune. Which is only 20hp and 17tq, and I wouldn't have bought it, but I'll take power I don't have to pay for! Still would like to stop by the dealer and have them confirm or not if it is still on the car.

Fail.. didnt realize till just now the pattern goes opposite on the different doors... Guess I'll have to redo that if i have extra.

Got the rest of the wrapping finished up today! I'm happy with how it turned out. Took about 4-5 hours, which isn't bad.

LOL no wing for now, I have a few other mods I'm thinking of first. I like how low key the car looks for now. I get almost zero attention from cops, which is a big change!

Went for another round of ricer mods :)

I didn't like that the corona ring day time running lights were yellow and didn't match the HID's. So I picked up some LED's off ebay, they are pretty close, for the price. They are a little dimmer than they were, but I have read of some coding that can fix this. I'll have to dig into it, but it is a step in the right direction.
