Not today but two days ago, finally got to drive my car with the Michelin Pilot Super Sports (215s) I bought over 3 weeks ago. I was back home again and the roads were finally washed salt free after the winter.
I had read everything I could on here about these tires and snagged the last set GCR had in their warehouse. What an improvement over stock. The steering feel, ride quality, road noise, all better. Before I bought, I was considering running the stock tires again, glad I didn't. Excellent site, great info., good results.

Thank you. It's still getting retaken mainly because the sky wasn't clearing as much as I wanted it to (it had just finished raining) along with some other minor tweaks. But again, thank you!

Edit: Now that I look at it again and I'm liking it more.

Amazing transformation for the car, but for me it's the wet weather capabilities that really blow me away. Car is solid and confidence inspiring

Switching to Redline 0w20 motor oil. Bought a Prova oil-filter because I wanted to spend $30 on a $10 filter and feel like a big-shot. And, I purchased a magnetic drain plug so that I can recoil in horror if I ever see metal flecks attached to it.

Purchased this off of a fellow forum member, an auto-dimming mirror. And to my surprise it has the built-in compass too! Not bad for $60!

Did your car already have the wiring for it?

They all do. The plug is tucked up behind the courtesy light on every twin.

As Johan said, yes the wiring is there. Took me less then 15 min to swap it out with the original mirror.
