Do like. A lot. First time seeing those wheels on a non-M. Looks fantastic.

domcreates · 03-15-2013, 04:23 PM

Looks great, I like that you used smoked instead of clear corners like a lot of tiag owners do

It had clear corners on it when I first purchased it and those were the first things that went, 100x better

Really clean car. Mtech 2 rear would really finish off the look

MixFlame · 03-15-2013, 05:12 PM

very clean

JZambrano7 · 03-15-2013, 05:36 PM

Looks fantastic, not too much of a fan of the wing. Maybe a boot lid would finish the look. Some minor fitment issue on the hood but I think you can fix that with the screws under the hood.

TallSkinnyMatt · 03-15-2013, 06:55 PM

Looks great

Just get yourself an Mtech rear and it'll look good! Not a big fan of the wing either... M3 lip would look much cleaner.

e46cruiser · 03-15-2013, 07:05 PM

Love it, just not a fan as the wing as others have stated. Looks great!

What do you mean the screws under the hood? My hood seems a bit tilted and if there are screws that could be tightened on one side to better align it that would be great.

Looks clean! But ye the trunk lip would make it look alot better! And did u put in the angel eyes yourself? Or did u but separate headlights?

Ice Cold · 03-15-2013, 07:36 PM

I love the wing. I say keep it man

Studdly_Studright · 03-16-2013, 09:57 AM

+1 op, car looks great, adjust that hood and you're set. To answer your questions, the screws are actually threaded rubber pieces on the radiator support near the headlights.

SilverThreeTwoFive · 03-16-2013, 11:06 PM

Ooooh those wheels are nice. I was looking at a set of 18's just like those. I love the back bumpers on the pre-facelift. Just that little black trim adds a nice touch. The back bumper on my post-facelift is not nearly as cool. Looks good, though, man!

wow thanks. I messed with those awhile back and now the right side of my hood is not angled correctly.

SManganella · 03-17-2013, 01:56 PM

Love the wheels very nice. Not a fan of the wing though.

quiksilver4drM3 · 03-17-2013, 02:17 PM

Those wheels are amazing

t0mmysays · 03-22-2013, 02:48 PM

Thanks everyone! Got the hood fixed it was quick and simple DIY. As for the wing Im a little torn. I like the clean and simple look of wingless, but I didnt want to take the wing off due to holes being there. It kind of grew on me so I think I will be keeping it. It sets it apart from other sedans IMO.
