Nice ride!
If I see correctly - Stance SF03 rims too
On the black wood - is that a wrap or replacement or stick-ums? it looks too go to be stick-ums
Love those tail lights - Want to upgrade at some point too but have not researched them yet - I Dont want aftermarkets just in case they are not as bright as OEMs and I heard the OEMs dont quite fit right?
Welcome to the board - this place is amazing...

thank you! good eye stance SF03 staggered, just installed last week, i put on Mercedes center cap decals the other day for an oem yet custom look. The brown burlwood was wrapped by myself, i'm far from a pro but some pieces took a couple tries to get right and the material is very forgiving. I love how it came out. The brown wood while classy looked dated. If you want a link to the vinyl let me know. As far as the tails i heard the oems are plug and play but i'm not 100% if the wiring has to be modified at all, fitment is definitely not a concern, they'll fit

The star is not installed correctly - that's why it is not straight. Just FYI.

i.e., you have to find the right point on the star for it to lock in vertically. Only one will work properly.
There is no need to modify the parts, which might do more damage than good.

Unlock it CCW, remove it straight out (slightly), then rotate it clockwise to the next point on the star and install. If that doesn't work, rotate to the 3rd point. That will do it.

Mine is aftermarket as well. $40 on eBay. It took a few tries to get it straight. The photo makes it look about 300% brighter than reality.

Beautiful car, OP!
Did you notice any significant improvement in handling or steering or any other performance improvements with your strut brace?

thank you! I defonitely did, it was really floaty before around sharp rurns it feels way more planted now but that may also have something to do with the staggered wheels. Either way it looks nice in the engine bay

Thanks for the report!
What brace did you use and was it simply bolt-on? Was any drilling required?
