The new wheels are on and I am almost satisfied with the look. Going to add some spacers up front and raise it about half and inch. Let me know what you guys think.

Wheels look good. Especially if you paint the calipers a different color so they look more noticeable.

But def need spacers up front. What size wheels are you running ? May need rounded tires or a thinner tire so you don't have to raise. But I'm the kind of person that wants more tire.

20x8.5 in the front and 20x10 in the back. I'll get the spacers installed, adjust the suspension and go from there.

Calipers will be powder coated soon, can't seem to settle on a specific color. Still undecided if I'm going to wrap the car.

Are these Vossen wheels?
Nice looking E. Did you dyno it at eurocharged before/after tune?

What suspension are you running up front ? Springs ? You're going to change the to less aggressive ones ? Will you be selling the ones on now ?

Haha. One of the hardest decisions is the painting of calipers. Good luck. I would think red for the calipers.

Thanks for the compliment. They are Niche Form - M158 wheels. I do see the resemblance to Vossen though. I haven't dyno'd and tuned the car yet. I am going to replace the head bolts before making any performance changes. That being said, dyno numbers isn't really my game. Timeslips are where I put my faith.

I'm running KW adjustable springs in the front and adjustable links in the rear. All I have aside from that are the stock springs and links I removed.

Red has definitely been a front runner.

Took the car out yesterday for a short cruise to the lake with some rolling shots. A couple more photos are almost finished and I'll post them as soon as I get them.

As for updates on build progress, I got the diffuser installed. I put 17mm spacers up front as a temporary fix for the wheel fitment, I expect to be getting new wheels again before Spring. I had the chrome trim on the windows, door handles and trunk wrapped in matte black.

Did you have a professional install the hood or do you think a diy can be done?

It's an easy two-man job. Nothing you couldn't tackle in about an hour with a wrench.

Thank you, it's got about 100k now and still runs solid. It has the performance package which is the only option that matters to me, but several others as well.

Build date 12/09

Purchased it with 26000 miles on it on 7/12
Currently has a warranty and maintenance that the old owner left on it.
Has 57000 miles on it now.

I saved almost 60% off the sticker. I love buying used, and knock wood, have not had an issue with buy one two year old cars.
