I would clean off the Roundel. Keep them for a while... if you decide you don't like them clean them off.

Yea, I had my diffuser wrap in CF. Took it off. Thinking of going gloss black wrap on diffuser, spoiler and mirror but I've been lazy to do it

What you mean? The emblem? Or you mean the wheel caps? I took off the plasti dip on the wheel cap already

What's holding you back? Not sure which to chose or something else?
Yeah. Height. I'm 45 and don't want it low like H&R. Think I'm going Dinan. To get ACS up here in Toronto cost way too much. Not worth it. Eibach everyone says settles a bit and I don't like the front rake dropping as it throws your balance off making the car nose heavy (oversteer). Dinan is a mild drop and from the couple pics I have seen the 550s look pretty good with it IMO.

Pretty much impossible to get a good picture with gloss black wheels. But in person it looks so aggressive...



Wrapped cement grey

For whatever it's worth, I don't think they look their best on white (or silver/light colored) cars. Of course this being completely "matter of taste", I doubt they'll ever be 100% agreement on this in a forum like this.

I found this vendor who says their m performance front lip fit well with aftermarket bumper. They are 40 mins away. I'll probably stop by and see if it's really fit. For v style I was gonna go same color as my car (white) but for m performance style, any color suggestion? Wonder how it looks if I paint it white

End up purchasing this lip. It's PU version of the m performance lip. I prefer carbon fiber but this is the only seller who guarantee it's fit. And it actually does. Now not sure if I should paint it black or white
