Looks great, congrats!

Welcome and congrats Bud. SGM has a nice lustre doesn't it. The black grille and dark tint set it off beautifully

. Do you have any other mods planned?

VB5ER · 06-21-2015, 05:27 AM

Niiicceeee. I see you took care of those front reflectors already. Amazon has these emblems in carbon blk and silver $35-$50. Put em on my SG and made a big difference for a little pocket money.

lsturbointeg · 06-21-2015, 10:36 AM

Congrats!

Any plans...aesthetics, performance?

remmib · 06-21-2015, 02:00 PM

Congrats, very nice.

macastel · 06-21-2015, 04:13 PM

Thanks for tips! I starting with JB4S1 this weekend and researching a cheap mod for exhaust.

How do you install them?

Laid an old id card on the hood and trunk emblems and pried them up with a thin flat screwdriver. Got a 2" suction cup dent puller from adv auto to pull the wheel emblems. You'll mark the rims if you use a screwdriver. Used a drimmel tool on the hood "nubs" and double sided tape on the hood and trunk emblems. Just clean the surface really good before putting the new ones on. Some pics, wheel gap I know. Gotta get dem coilovers.

Have a new 2015 535 msport SPM that arrived last week that I am picking up in about 10 days and I like those emblems alot! Hmmm?

Zer0Cool92 · 06-21-2015, 06:38 PM

Easier / cheaper if you have a shop lay some carbon fiber vinyl over the blue on your current emblems.

Zer0Cool92 · 06-21-2015, 06:41 PM

Had mine done in red carbon and regular carbon fiber vinyl

Zer0Cool92 · 06-21-2015, 06:42 PM

Little closer

macastel · 06-21-2015, 09:26 PM

Thanks you! I am definitely changing them!!
What is the easiest mod to improve a the sound of the exhaust? Nothing loud jist a little louder/deep without changing the Stock pipes?

As you can see in my pics I have the Wheels that come with the M package. Do you know if this take the 68mm caps?

lsturbointeg · 06-21-2015, 11:42 PM

Those emblems look sweet!

I'm pretty sure that is universal on the 5s but you can measure. 68mm is about 2 2/3 in. Smartphone convert for the precise numbers. Once you put the new ones on you can sand the old ones and experiment with different paint colors. Layer colors and use tape. Going to try to make some pink and blk for my girlfriends 3.
