Guys I'm not going to do it lol I got baby 17s on my car. I'd probably get C32 calipers, brembo, or stoptech bbk when I plan on upgrading. They just really popped when I saw the double AMG poking through the spokes on the road.
Phi there is another berembo set floating around the classified

LED's are nice! i got mine from an ebay seller last year and am really happy with them... however i noticed that i would only get codes when it was really cold out. now that its warmer out, that went away.

next time i'll try azn optics

do you have any other bulbs from them? (day-lights, fogs?)

You should do a mod and mount them next to the license plate and put a switch. When people high beam you you can technically high beam them back

This diff is a headache... tried tackling it again but I'm definitely going to need a lift. Its just hard to reach and get a good angle on that dang mounting bolt. Guess I'll have to go to my friends shop next week to see if i can borrow it.

Since I couldnt do that, I decided to lower my rear a bit more since it was kind of high after selling Mike my sub. Got it sitting by nice and low Also tackled the lower bumper and painted it black. Will get better pics tomorrow when i wash the car.



Heres a shot of my exhaust piping since some wanted to see it around the spare wheel tub.



Up next....

Still retrofitting my FX-R, finish up my custom trunk sub (getting there, almost complete), install my AZN optics city lights, and moleskin my window after new tint. And the DAMN DIFF!

nice black painted diffuser. im so leaning towards it now instead of installing a cf one. painting it is cheaper and can definitely match my grill for the look. looks awesome phi!
