nice x bro / dont forget spacer

I have spacers on the truck. They're perfectly aligned with the outer edge of the wheel arches and the offsets on the 214's (20mm rear, 15mm Front).

Spacers was actually my first mod. It's a MUST! :thumbup:

Thanks man. It will definitely add to the car, but not as much as other colors. There's just not as much contrast on the car. The main reason I want the Aero Kit is that it will hide the Rock Panel on the front, underbelly from being visible and the rear diffuser will hide the exhaust/muffler which you can see from certain angles too.

Painting the calipers should look great though. I think I'm just going to do black. Red is too played out and doesn't go with my theme. Yellow is too much.

Can't wait to see how the car looks after I lower it. I'll definitely post up some pix of before and after.

And when are you getting spacers?!?!?!?! Hahahahaha! You keep thinking, but not doing. Your truck will look SOOO much better. Something so little makes such a big difference. You'll realize it so much more after you do it. Yep, you'll thank make after and wonder why you waited so long. It happens all the time. :rofl::rofl:;)

Two things have held me back... up until today I was dealing with a vibration due to a warped rear rim. I finally got a new rim on today. My other side has an out of round tire so while the vibration at 70mph is better it's still not completely gone... so I didn't want to mess with anything else until this was resolved completely. Worse, they don't make the Proxes S/T anymore so if I want a new tire I have to upgrade all 4 with the S/T II.

Second, everytime I go through a drive-thru I have to be extremely careful about curb rash. This brand new rim replaces the old rim which was also curbed at a Wendy's drive-thru notorious for being narrow - lots of tire marks. It didn't cause the warp though, that was there from the minute I put it on the road. Anyway, I really don't want to make it more difficult by making the rears even wider. Believe me, I do want that look (10mm/20mm as you suggested) but curbed rims hurt... a lot. How do you deal with this? Drive the M5 to drivethrus instead? :D

poleposition 07-21-2009 02:58 PM

I have the answer. Dont go thru drive thrus. Youre truck will look better and you'll be healthier without that crap

how did you get your taillights tinted? Is it film or paint?
