Make Over,Caliper Paint,Brake Light in Diffuser,CF Spoiler,Arkym Style Front Lip
Finally got my back from the shop so I thought I would share!

-Arkym Style Front Lip Spoiler

-Brake Calipers Painted Lamborghini Ithica Verde Paint Code (no Pearl)

-OEM Factory Carbon Fiber Trunk Heck Spoiler

-Third (techically 4th) brake light installed in my Vorsteiner Diffuser

- Mikes Power Pipe, Straight Pipe Installed

-Installed 275/35 rear - 245/40 Front PSS but not happy with the size. Debating between going to stock size or 265 rear.

Sorry for the crappy Iphone / Instagram Pics

Nice upgrade
The diffuser brake light is subtle.
As for the tires nothing shocking to me.

Nice upgrades looking good.

Are you considering aftermarket wheels or happy sticking with the OEM wheels?

What Arkym style front lip did you go with? Is it FRP with a CF overlay and is the bottom of the lip CF or painted black?

I thought the 30 and 35 are sidewall height measurements not width? If you didnt want too meaty, you should went 235 and 265..
