Looks nice - really liking the wheels as well. Here's a pic of my SW upgrade with paddle shift as well. Work better than the old push buttons.

What kind of paddles are those? How was the install (if you DIY'ed) and any problems with shifting/feel?

Only C55 paddles I know of are VRP, and I think they only come in C/F or glossy black.

Mikegpr03,

Absolutely stunning! I love those BBS LMs (Wanna trade for my Monolites?). What type of springs/coilovers are you running?

Thank you all for the kind words.

As for suspension I'm running KW-V2's all around. The car runs pretty smooth
(feels stock) on the softest settings. If you make them firm then you will knock your fillings off when you go over a bump. lol I got them from a friend who ordered the KW's but got rid of his car and had the setup new in the box sitting in his office.. The wheels are LM's from BBS and I LOVE THEM! Cheap tires though lol

The shifter paddles were in PAIN I will never do it again. You haft to mod the hell out of the stearing wheel and It will never be able go back to push buttons again. But I don't mind they look better IMHO. I will be parting with the car this summer so I will be selling it. E55 or Z06 maybe

are the paddle shifters pretty easy to put in? My friend with an IS-F said they felt like SNES controller buttons (the L and R) lol.

When I sell the car I might do a part out and I wil include trading the stearing wheel for a stock one plus some $on top. I will also sell the wheels and suspension and lip. But thats a while away since the economy is in the ****ter!
