Well, it's been a while since I posted. A 6 month old at home will tend to do that. Quick update, very happy with the Dinan springs, much more responsive. I admit the drop could be more aggressive but I'm not scraping everywhere like I did in my last car. I guess I'm getting too old for those headaches.

Ijust had my 45K service and picked up some new front brakes, under the warranty which is always nice.

Lastly, I added the body color matched front reflectors from JB Speed, perfect match. I had a chance to clean up the car today too, so here is the car in its newest form. The reflectors really make a huge difference for the side profile.

I got the death stare from the wife when I brought up a new exhaust, so that's on hold for now. I'd like to paint the calipers and possibly refinish the wheels in a slightly darker shade like titanium or gunmetal.

I totally understand that, I just got my M5 mufflers and let her find out. It was worth it.
What about painted side reflectors? https://ind-distribution.com/product?sku=IND-F10LCI-SM

Very interesting. Tempting to go gloss black ones. I hadn't seen those before, only the pre-LCI. You've got me intrigued, lol!

Looking good my man! Too bad we couldn't get the carbon black F10 group photo session going.

I just realized they have body paint colored ones as well, mind blown!

The only question now is do I go body paint colored or gloss black?

Oh man, we never did get that together, that's my fault. I have been out of commission a bit since I've got this little 6 month old at home. I'm still down though to get the carbon black group one weekend.

I did body color for my car. And the reason behind that is because I just don't a "random" blop of black on the side of the car. Not where I want attention to go to.

Can you post a picture of yours. I didn't realize initially they had body colors but I was leaning that way after I saw them. I did some photoshop playing around last night and body color was the winner.

You mean keep it dark, at most satin looking, but avoid putting too much on to have it look glossy, or do you mean no tire treatment at all, gasp!

I sometimes get a little heavy handed with the tire gel, but this time I think I'm simply a victim of the fresh coat looking glossy before it dries. I had just finished washing in my driveway then put the tire treatment on last right before the pics, I swear it didn't stay that shiny.

This is what I use for my tire shine. It doesn't leave a greesy look like most of the store brand tire shines do. Plus it lasts for weeks https://www.amazon.com/Chemical-Guys.../dp/B001TI1F5Q

This comes from experience I use to use tire shine and other tire treatments
come to find out its messy it gets allover fenders bumpers.
Now I don't use anything on my tires its just mat original color and I couldn't be happier.
I know some will say its not good for tires but that's ok with me.

i just ordered a gallon size of CG's Natural Shine that has a satin finish for tires and any vinyl pieces. so it won't be too glossy or greasy

alot of CG's dressings can be used for tires or vinyl. but for the tires just put enough and don't over do it! i would see alot of YouTube videos where guys would completely hose their tires with tire dressing dripping wet!
