I don't believe it. Almost exactly a year later and I get a text from this guy.


Seems like pulled all the parts off the car and got rid of it as he told me he has various parts in his garage. Looking like the valance piece on the rear bumper has some bad scratches. $550 for the bumper and arches seems pretty high considering I don't think I can get by without a repaint. Going to go see it soon and decide if it's worth negotiating based on paint condition or just leaving it. I guess I expected it to be damaged but still pretty sad considering it's the same color as my car.


I also asked about the PDC module and rear footwell lights. Re-reading this thread also reminded me about the gong (thanks!). Need to ask about that. He has the module but footwell lights have their connectors cut off. Is it okay to run the 4.6 PDC module with only rear sensors? Unfortunately I don't think I'll ever end up doing the front.



Also I did get the button panel up front from a pick-your-part months ago. Somehow found a 3.0 with rear heated seats (!!!) so grabbed the rear buttons too. If the interior was black I would've picked up the entire rear seat but just don't have the space . If I'm putting a button panel with fake front heated seats might as well do the back too .


Before I proceed, if someone could help me confirm that this will all work out that would be great!



- I have a facelift 3.0 base (only options are adaptive bi-xenon and pano roof) w/ Android HU and I-BUS app

-Parts are from a 4.6is (other than front button panel with PDC button)

- End goal is 4.6/8is rear valance and arches + rear-only PDC
- I did find some threads on arches but I'm a bit confused. IIRC I have seen pics of 4.6/8is without running boards so I assume I can do rear arches without them? Can I do front arches from the 4.6 parts car without a front 'is' bumper (assuming seller will sell just arches), or do 4.6/8is cars even have front arches or just rear?
-Do I need to do coding for the PDC or can i configure it with the I-BUS app?




Thanks!!
