I did a group by for the stromung cans way back and love them. Driven with them on for 40k miles and still love em!
Thanks! Yes, the car is lowered on H&R coils with RE RSMs (you can see the coils in the first picture with the exposed rotor/caliper). I'd like to drop it just a bit lower, but I think I'll run into issues by doing so. It looked jacked with the stock suspension on 19"s. ;D

I worry about lowering it more than it already is. How do you like the setup? Seems like a popular one. Now you just need to get some active auto headers. The car sounds awesome!

I love the setup, wouldn't have it any other way.

I can imagine it would sound nice with the headers, but boy oh boy the $$$ for those. Buying those, you're already a good way into a supercharger, and I'm much rather have that. (Please sell yours so I stop thinking about it, haha).

Thanks again.

Haha I'm so back and forth on installing the supercharger. I just bought a house and had to furnish it. I also just don't have a daily driver car too. So I just rack up the miles on it.

I found the H&R coilovers on ECS tuning. Very tempting!

Definitely get the coils, they just transform the look of the car. Our cars already looked nice, but with a drop and tucked wheels the look is incredible.

Congrats on the house, that's obviously a huge investment. I'm sort of waiting around to hear if I get a contract I've been working on, if so, I'd have really solid (70+ hours per week) work for the next 12-18 months. If I land that contract, you'll probably be getting a PM from me. ;D

Take care.

Haha keep in touch buddy. Great luck on your contract. If we can strike a deal that would be great. If not, You'll get a charger!

Ok dokee, got my wing put on today! I think it came out great, here are a few pics of the car a bit dirty. I'll probably wrap the rear bumper thingie this weekend (I also need to tighten up that diffuser a little bit from what I noticed in the pictures). Let me know what you think!

Love it mate.

I think the 2 tone looks great, subtle from the side, yet aggressive from the back.

Top notch.

I LOVE this car, I had to literally force myself to drive back home. ;D

Spoiler will arrive Wednesday, which I'll sent to be painted Imola red with a matte black lip on it. My car is inching ever close to my vision!




Looks great NickyC! I have the same diffuser on my MRoadie. Nice subtle addition. Good choice.

Looks great NickyC! BTW you had me nervous after calling me out on the purchase the Diablos. I installed them somewhat loose with lock washers, and at first there was a good bit of drone in a specific RPM range, but after driving around for about a month I would say that it is about 95% gone!

Are you sure it's not because you've gone 95% deaf?

Ahh too bad, I certainly would have taken it off your hands. Thanks for the kind compliments everyone.
