And I am planning to mod my body kit with 2 twin tailpipe. Is cargym a place to have them all? I saw they have many post at car28.com

Please advice, thanks !!!

I think cargym do custom body kits and their stuffs are usually very flashy. Depends on your style. Heard that they are alright.

You can check out my rims. But they are like uniform now, seen everywhere.

Hi All Chings, if I just want to change the stock rims to 20" and lower the car with spring, how much does it cost roughly? Is it bad for the suspension if I just change the spring? not the whole suspension? Thanks in advance. ^_^

I really like the BBS CH-R wheel. It looks great in Grey F10.

Thanks guys. ^_^

Welcome, guess if you flip through the threads there are plenty of discussions on this issue.

BBS good choice. Not cheap though.

Hi wukelvin,

May I know where you trade off your stock 17 rims with RFT tires? I want to trade in my stock rims and tires for a new set of foregstar F14 Piano black with Nitto invo tires on my space grey F10.

Thanks in advance.
