Akebonos are on!
Compared to OEM I don't notice any performance differences. Offers pretty much the same bite. But now I don't have to clean my rims

For the spoiler, I paid a little under $1200 from Eric. Best price I could find!
Yep that's on the list
Just trying to find time to do it. I'm going to Plastidip them.

Few updates:
Managed to find some time to finally paint the side markers
Scuffed them up a bit with sandpaper, primered then painted.
I love how simple it is to take these off. On my SLK350 I had to pull the fender liner and go under the bumper.
I also painted the middle section of the bumper black.
Kept it for a few days but decided to take it off since it didn't really flow well.
Next update:
H&R Sports springs installed! The pic above is with the springs installed. I still have a two finger gap, but it should settle (I hope
).
The back end though makes me happy. #3 pads are installed but I may go with #1 to tuck in the wheel a bit.
Sits sortaflush against the fender. I can push it out more, but I would have to go with a skinnier tire.
I'm going to wait for the springs to settle before getting any professional shots done.

Still my favorite cosmetic mod, the V wing is an animal.

Still worries me that 3m won't hold at high speeds...also how does it look when taken off?...leaves a residue that can be undone or it's pretty permanent?....
Looks great disco and I'm still digging those Mandrus'
