You are a G05 god for sharing this! I really appreciate you taking the time to share all of this with such detail. Thank you!!!
Been looking for this the center part as i have the M sport like you and found it used on eBay but most are scratched up. Mine just have 2 ugly holes in em from the dealer installing the plate
.
Might have to bite bullet and get it new. Where did you get yours btw?
