Yeah, when I changed my front rotors, I didn't paint them. Why should I? I'd never done that before, but with the open spoke design of the wheels, it shows a lot more than many cars. When I changed my wife's front rotors, I painted them first!

*WARNING: Update on projector fogs, don't buy them if you plan to use HID fogs...
Haha thanks, where are you located?
Precisely!
Thanks!

Guys, on the previous page you can see the pictures where I installed the projector fogs a while back. Don't get them if you plan to run HID fogs. The only reason I got the projector fog housings was to be able to run HID fogs. Turns out the fit doesn't work on the one side with the wiper fluid reservoir down there. See this post here for the full explanation. Note however that this is only with the projector foglight housings because they are "longer" than the OEM reflector housings.
Thanks!

Couldn't find TSW Bremma's anywhere nowadays, so I reluctantly went with the staggered Sport Edition ST4 setup from TireRack to replace my OEM 5-spoke wheels, which are now for sale. I ordered the Continental ExtremeContact DWS at the same time (see my post about them here) and they mounted and balanced them for me at no additional charge, so when they arrived I just put them on the car myself; it was great. I know they look weird without any center caps right now but just disregard that.
Stay tuned for a trunk lip spoiler and front lip soon to come.
