Nice car! The only problem with painting OEM wheels black is that they look a lot smaller than the standard silver ones.

Since I'm parting out the AR Design catless downpipe tomorrow noon, I just made rolling clips with it installed.

Here are the clips:

L7AS · 02-20-2013, 09:17 PM

Sooo.....

I have added some mods ever since my last post in this build thread..
- sold my ACS Springs and installed KW Coilover V1
- decided to put back my AR Design Catless Downpipe
- replaced my current ETG tune with JB4 Stage 2
- 20" Vossen wheels CV4 in silver polished finish; 20x10.5 20x9; Hankook Ventus V12 285x30x20 245x35x20
- installed M5 Front Sway Bar
- took off the headlight and taillight tints

Future Mod:
- refinish exhaust tips to Chrome Black

I will post pics soon

and about the tips, still trying to find some time. My shop told me it takes about 4 days

Here's an iPhone pic I took few days ago:

sorry for the poor quality!

You're the right guy to ask: How do you like the KW V1s? Is the non adjustable dampening harsh? Close to stock? Your car looks awesome!!!

Just clocked onto this post but car is looking ever so sweeter

That carbonfibre trim looks awesome, did you install it yourself? Was it pretty straight forward?
