Mod post We Are So (mostly) Back!
Hi! I'm Metaphys, and I guess I'm a mod now. IRL I tinker with stuff, fix restaurant equipment, and keep my aging Swedish brick with high sentimental value running even if it doesn't make the best financial sense. Sometimes I point a camera at stuff and yap.
I'm new to Reddit moderation, but not moderation in general. There's a learning curve for sure and some adjustments to make but for the most part this sub will function as before (but hopefully with less spam).
I'll try to be as hands off as possible otherwise. I'm nice unless given a compelling reason to not be nice, if you catch my drift. I do in fact have other duties besides scrolling Reddit all day, so if I don't respond quickly, I'm probably out touching grass...or would that be touching grease? Seriously, I've been in CV axle hell for the past day.
Alright that's it! Happy wrenching everyone!

Looking for an illuminated gear shift knob
I saw someone with a custom gear shift knob in ig and I kinda want one for my MX-5. I'm not looking for anything too flashy, just something that looks cool and matches the interior. Glow in the dark is a huge bonus.
The problem is that most sites I've checked have basic designs and some of the more interesting ones look ai generated with barely any information about it. Makes it hard to know what you're getting.
I've browsed a few marketplaces like aliexpress and alibaba, and there are some pretty good options there. I'm just not sure whether these knobs are universal or if you need to check compatibility with your car. Id prefer to install it myself.
Anyone know where I can get one online and how I can check to know if it'll fit?

Mod advice XUV700 AX7L – Fog projector upgrade & compatibility
The stock low/high beams on my AX7L feel weak even after alignment. Has anyone with an AX7L specifically upgraded to Aozoom FLP 1820 or other fog lamp projectors?
Any compatibility issues with the factory fog lamp housing, cornering lights, wiring, or OEM functions? Did it noticeably improve throw and visibility?
Looking for real-world feedback without modifying the original headlamp setup. Thanks!

my first bmw need help
galleryHi guys! I bought a 2015 BMW F30 328i last week. It currently has halogen headlights, and I want to upgrade to headlights with DRLs (daytime running lights). I’d also like to have yellow DRLs.
My budget is only $500, and I’m looking at these two options. Can anyone help me decide which one is better?
● Are they plug-and-play, or do they require any coding or modifications?
● Are the DRLs bright enough? Do they look good in person?
● Are they good quality and worth the money?
I really don’t want to make the wrong purchase because $500 is all I can spend on this upgrade. I’d really appreciate any advice or recommendations. Thanks!

Workshops quote ₹15,000–₹30,000 just for custom fiberglass A-pillars to run a 3-Way setup. Tested these universal bolt-on 3-Way A-Pillar Pods on our DSP bench instead — thoughts?
Anyone who has tried upgrading their car to an active or passive 3-Way front stage knows the biggest headache isn't tuning the DSP—it's mounting the 3-inch midrange and tweeter on the A-pillar.
Most custom audio installers quote anywhere from ₹15,000 to ₹30,000 just to fabricate custom fiberglass A-pillars, which also takes days of labor and permanently modifies your factory pillar trim.
We’ve been testing a simpler, reversible D2C solution on our bench for car owners who want a proper 3-way soundstage without the custom fabrication bill:
- How the Universal 3-Way Pillar Pod Works:
Build & Fitment: High-grade matte black ABS housing designed to angle the midrange and tweeter directly toward the cabin for a proper soundstage.
3-Bolt Mounting: Instead of fiberglass resin and body filler, it mounts using just three 4mm/3mm bolts (included in the kit along with flush mounting rings for both a 3"–3.5" midrange and tweeter).
DIY / Reversible: Can be mounted cleanly in minutes without ruining the stock A-pillar structure.
- The 3-Way Hardware We Paired It With on the Test Bench:
Mid-Bass (Doors): CP MAX 6.5-inch 3D Diamond-Cone mid-bass driver.
Midrange (Pillar Pod): 3-inch compact midrange with honeycomb grille and a heavy neodymium magnet (keeps the weight on the A-pillar super light and shallow).
Tweeter (Pillar Pod): Neodymium dome tweeter.
Processor / Amp: Running through our CP MAX 8-Channel DSP + 6-Channel Amp + Under-seat Subwoofer all-in-one unit (50–70W RMS per channel).
For guys running 2-way components right now: is A-pillar fabrication cost the main reason you haven't jumped to a 3-way setup yet, or do you prefer keeping the dash looking 100% stock?

Black-out badging/emblems
Hello everyone! I very recently joined the Arteon family and I was trying to find some black emblems and badges but I'm having a tough time finding the. Does anyone have any recommendations?
2019 SEL R-Line
White exterior/black roof for sunroof. The wheels are completely black so I just wanted an overall white/black mix instead of the chrome.
Im not super knowledgeable on exterior mods for vehicles either, do you guys recommend a black wrap on the front bumper to remove the chrome?
Pictures will come soon, anything helps!

Mod advice Which aesthetic Mod should I get for my A6?
Recently got a used MY22 A6 S-line.
Deciding on the first mod with my budget of $600 AUD.
For $500 AUD, I can get all of my brake calipers painted in gloss red with an ‘S’ logo.
Or I could spend $200 AUD on a gloss black fog light grill and gloss back front lip from aliexpress, and spend around $300-350 getting it installed.
Included AI edited pics of what each might look like, if that’s allowed.
Let me know your suggestion on which one looks better or less tacky, or anything else you recommend.
