Got em from Bimmian, but they seem to come off after a while o. Have to redo them soon. Shame you can't just buy them that color. I have them carbon fiber

Those center wheel caps are stickers? I thought you could buy them as regular plastic pieces. Nice touch having all those logos be the black versions.

A couple of new pics from a camping trip we went on this past Father's Day weekend. The car really surprised me. In the trunk I had the following... A 6 person tent, two queen size aerobed mattresses, two comforters, two pillows and two backpacks! Good thing our friends brought the coolers with beers and eats!

And of course, had to take an early morning country side blast, found this place for a nice pic

My wifes form of camping is the Hyatt Regency.

Nice pictures in the woods, did you scrape much getting parked in there?

Also did you put extender exhaust tips on or is that a optical illusion?

Scraped a little along the bottom.

The tips are just the regular Stromung tips. Maybe the angle?

STIHLBOLTS · 06-21-2012, 11:07 AM

The tips are just the way it looks in the pictures, I looked at mine from that angle and it does the same thing.

ricanbandit · 10-09-2012, 09:46 AM

Some new fall pics. Was thinking about getting the bavauto rear wing and aero side skirts, thoughts?

STIHLBOLTS · 10-09-2012, 10:08 AM

If it were not for the wheels we would be twins....

Nice looking ride - very stealth fighter

Thumbs up on the aero skirts - easy install. The paint is the somewhat pricey part.

Some people a tinting the rear lights with film or spray-tint; Might look good on your car.

Since you're running a front splitter, you might want to add some sacrificial plastic molding to the front bottom edge - I use the black, l-shaped 'door edge molding' from Autozone on the fangs. It's invisible on the car, cheap enough to buy bulk, and easy to rip off/ replace when it gets scraped. It takes the beating before the expensive parts do.

Also, the mesh wind deflector really does work pretty well - and it's black.

Theres all the thought you need.

I looked really hard at the wing and I have decided to leave it off mine.

You should align your exhaust.

dubsesd · 10-10-2012, 10:38 AM

agreed. that exhaust can go much higher as well. try loosening the hangers and adjust at the flange

STIHLBOLTS · 10-10-2012, 10:50 AM

Yes, the exhaust would look a little cleaner tucked into the cutouts.

ricanbandit · 10-10-2012, 12:55 PM

On My old car I had the after market exhaust really tucked up and it did harm to the bumper, kinda paranoid about it now, maybe I will move it a lil higher
