So finally got around to installing the Red Rocket Labs (George Graves, AKA e30 Master Electrician) temp sensor

Needless to say, I was very pleased with the results:




But, I couldn't get over the way it.. "looked"


That's no fault on Greg or the Company, it functions as it should, but I wanted a more OEM look. I still give their product a 10/10


So I did something about it


Gutted out the existing wires on the old sensor, and drilled out the inside rubber with a power drill and vice




I like how it came out, fit like a glove




The end sticks out just a hair, but it still fits within the whole rubber boot of the old sensor



And it didn't interfere with any of the readings



"looks OEM, nothin to see here folks!"



EDIT
So it turn out what I THOUGHT was the temp sensor was actually the temp sensor connector.
I've messed up, but will enjoy the working temperature gauge until I can piece together the parts for repair. So far, all I need is the brake duct and I can troubleshoot from there
