- blacked out running boards are a HUGE improvement
- blacked out wheels make it look bigger, good move... never liked the 211s before but now very acceptable
- [smaller] rear wheels even with spacers still look too far tucked unfortunately

I bet you can't wait to play out in the snow this weekend.

Are you going to black out the lower grills?

maybe. I did the upper smaller one myself very easily with a can of spray paint. It pops right out and pops right back in. The lower one has the parking sensors attached and isnt so easily removed.

I agree. I hated the 211's but now in black, they dont look so bad. Yes, it still looks tucked and thats a 30mm spacer on the rear. Can you imagine without any spacers? And yes, I am anxious for the snow this weekend. The more the better as far as Im concerned...

What Up Pole, Where you been hiding?? I don't post much here myself as this is just turning into a newbie/ 35d board!

Looks hot! I thought gloss black was easy and that the dirt/dust won't show...boy was I wrong. Even dust shows on black! Personally I'm not too fond of the black running boards. I am actually removing mine alltogether and installing the oem sills. I also replaced both my front grills. It's really not that difficult. I have pics of my install if you want...

Very Nice Setup Pole!

rh71...What did you do to your taillights, paint or film? It looks good. I have film, but too lazy to get them on (and its too cold to apply anyway.)

it's lamin-x film which is supposed to be custom fit but it wasn't perfect... only noticeable if you look right at it, but from afar you can't tell. Next time I'd do painted but this works for now. It was only 65F when I put it on - not an easy task.
