Your next step really need to be a drop. 20s on stock suspension is a no-no. Step lip helps hide the fact that they're 20s, but you're gonna want to tuck those.

 

Looks nice, I would consider a rim powdercoat and definitely a drop.

 

Powder coat the wheels black please. IMO the silver looks a little out of place on an all black car.

Other than that, i like it.

 

I agree.

Looks like it's going to come out very nicely!

 

Why the hell would he powdercoat the wheels and have no contrast in that car at all?!? He needs contrast, specially when he has those badges blacked out.

1. needs springs or coilovers
2. carbon lip lip would be sick
3. carbon diffuser
4. a nice roof spoiler

Please dont powdercoat those wheels you'll kill the car..

 

Thanks guys appreciate the feedbakc first of all. Good point Soldier2304 the vehicle does need contrast for sure. The problem with most people nowadays they want to make everything look monotone... I think I am going to ad a carbon lip, gonna contact my firneds at IForged and see what they can do to my wheels. I would like to drop the car next week hahaha but I am terrified of rubbing with paassengers and all that.

 

I didnt say that i thought they looked bad, i think theyre good looking wheels, but i personally think they would look better black. Not my car, not my choice, just my opinion.

I do however agree with your list minus the roof spoiler, i never really liked the look of them. Again, opinions differ.

 

Front tires are too undersized for the wheel.
Wheels need to be darker. They stand out too much with the rest of the blacked out mods.
Needs a slight drop.
Headlight Housings could be blacked out for better effect.

Otherwise the setup looks ace.

 

What drop do you guys recommend. I was thinking of buying just some Eibch springs but maybe you guys know of something better.

 

Get coilovers. Especially with 20s and your worry about rubbing, coilovers will give you more flexibility than springs to fine tune your ride height.

Just give it 2 miles and wheels will be gunmetal from the brakedust

 

Nice tail lights. Just right.

 

Your car looks great, A drop would look good as everyone says. I disagree with painting your wheels, I like them just like they are, painting them black will lose the quality of the wheel. Tails look very good and you black out is great for black.

 

+1 for leaving the wheels alone. They look brilliant the way they are: Staying away from the complete common blacked out theme in a subtle and elegant way. Good work!

 

Man this forum is great thanks for all of the feedback guys I really appreciate it. Drop coming in two weeks for sure. As of right now wheels are staying the way they are. I guess some of you have to see it in person it looks really good the way they are. Don;t get me wrong I am all for blakc wheels my 550i and my 2500hd have all black wheels but this is nice for a change.

 

nice ride...

need trunk spoiler and I would keep the star and chrome strips chrome on the front end

get an x-pipe also

 

it needs a slight drop

 

I agree drop is next for sure ordered my coilover kit today. Thanks for all of the great feedback guys.

 

Drop is a must, looks nice

 

needs a drop, tail light cover in black, BBK, front lip, quads w diffuser

 

lol.. its easy for every1 to tell you how to spend your $$. like a bbk.. cheapest 1 you will find is $3,500 for front and back.. honestly i think CF on a black car is ugly!! it doesnt match/flow with the black.. and if you wana look like everyother car on this forum go with the quads/c63 diffuser.. regardless i really like what you did with the grille.. keep in mind its your car, do whatever makes you happy

 

I think its pretty good the way it is. If your going to keep the wheels that color, I would do something to the nose to make the chrome not seem as out of place. Possible Re-Chrome only the center star in the grill and leave the rest black chrome.

I think that a Suede Headliner is a bit over the top. If you wanna go for a more slick look, either get lamin-x tint for the headlights and fogs, or paint the interior of the housings black (more permanent).

Edit:
I didn't even notice the tail lights. Did you fade it, that would be sick if you did. It appears that the bottoms are darker then the tops.

 

your right it is his car his money so spend it wisely

 

drop it with h&r springs and go 265/30/20 in the rears
