Wheels look sick bro. Are there any vibration issues with the wheels? Leave the kidneys alone...they go with your polished lips. Besides all black kidneys stick out too much against white...look cheap & too big IMO.

very nice set-up, agree with the drop and trunk spoiler

A 1" suction cup and soapy water should pop those center caps right out. Bought one from the bathroom section at H Depot.

So far ive had no issues at all with vibrations. and yea im trying to decide between the chrom or black grill, i think the chrome does tie in the lip and window trim...

I just ordered black glossy vinyl for my diffuser and roof!

White_Knuckles · 07-14-2010, 10:45 PM

+1 for the hub centers as black C/F or the blue BMW style. I have Beyerns and used their soccer ball inserts for my winter wheels. That lip is crazy, you could lay a business card on that thing. Nice.

JEFFEFECKS · 07-14-2010, 10:53 PM

looking good bro. Either way leave the grills chrome or black both will look good. Shouldnt worry TOO much about being matte or gloss black. i got matte black grills and doesnt stick out like a sore thumb as much as your thinking. never even really thought about it that way. i still have the factory matte ISH finish on my mtech ii diffusor. oh and fwiw i would leave the lips as is

i think ima get the black grills but keep the chrome slats so it wont look like an open hole, oh and is your diffuser black?

Brady2268 · 07-14-2010, 11:11 PM

|AW|NATALIE, do you have your car lowered??

LittleChrist12 · 07-14-2010, 11:30 PM

Not right now

I'm currently stationed in OKC & the roads suck balls in that area so it didnt really bother me & wasnt on a priority list to drop the ride. HOWEVER, I'm finally about to pull the trigger on suspension REAL REAL soon so be on the lookout for that

Brady2268 · 07-15-2010, 12:39 PM

I deff like the black diffuser, cant wait for the gloss black vinyl to come in!!

ohh and i finally got the cf wheel caps put on, thank you to whoever said to use a suction cup to get the beyern cap out!

Thank you! And ya all the Dinan stuff i have is somewhere between 2-3k. I have intake, stage 3 exhaust, engine strut bar, high flow throttle body, ecu software, and tranny software. I would deff recommend doing it, i LOVE my car. The exhaust i think has the perfect tone and pitch for our cars, none of this trash can exhaust sound like all the rice burners have.
