There ought to be some 2016+ in the junk yards by now. Just be aware that the non-nav versions are risky to apply updates to. (may brick it)

I had a stone chip on my windshield that suddenly started to grow. “Star” shaped, getting close to an inch in diameter. I called Safelight and they wanted $155 to repair it. I had heard recently that while insurance companies still fully cover these costs that they now consider these repairs as “claims” when increasing premiums. So, I decided to try one of the repair kits, RainX being the one I chose ($15). I was amazed at how well it worked ! Took about 20 minutes (then left in the sun for about half an hour to be sure the resin had fully dried). Virtually undetectable. Wish I had taken before and after pics, even the longest “spikes” in the star disappeared, very happy with the result.

Yesterday I did Bilstein B6 struts, new oem coils, new rear hubs and bearings, new set of Continental Viking Contacts, and Ravenol transmission fluid. Took all day because of battling rust but I only had to cut one bolt. I have a whole set of Vibra-Technic motor mounts waiting to install, but I've had enough of working on the car for a bit. I'll do them within the next month.

Bilstein's feel great. Hopefully they settle in over time because they're slightly bouncy, but they feel way better than my worn out struts obviously. The transmission fluid is the most impactful mod I've ever done to this car. Night and day difference. Shifting is much more smooth and doesn't buck anymore when shifting fast from 2nd to 3rd.

I also just replaced my 2015 ST’s factory shocks and struts with Bilstein B6s. (I kept the original springs.) What an improvement! The B6s took the overall feel of the car to a whole new level.
