Originally, I didnt even think about PDC when I bought this car. My mission was finding the exterior and interior color combo. I think the only things I am missing are PDC, Vacuum doors, and rear adjustable comfort seating. I could be wrong.




Ive never thought about it like that. I quess the better the economy gets, the less you will see me posting during the day. But at night time, its on.
PDC is such a useful feature on a big car.

True, but I think the bumper trim looks super cleaner without the holes for the parking sensors.

Its a teaser.

I am still deciding on a couple things

- New wheel size 21, 22, or 24
- Ne wheel finish
- Chrome window trim - paint it or no.
- Final suspension setup. Should I bite the bullet and get the KW Variant 3 already, or do something even more extreme.

As far as my opinon goes, your on the right track for fixing what you are, removing the unnessesary chrome etc...

- New wheel size 21, 22, or 24 (leave the 22s, and CAN her!)
- Chrome window trim - paint it or no. (Chrome accents the chrome wheels imo)

Car looks minty as is, cleaning up a few things, chevere style drop, good cut/polish she will be good to go

Here is what I sort of had in mind.

- Solid gloss black centers on the wheels with a color matched lip and black the chrome window trim.
- Gloss Black in the middle of each spoke and center of the wheel, and the leave the sides of the spokes chrome, black lips and leave the chrome window trim.
- Same combo right above with color matched lips
- Chrome lips and brushed face and leave the chrome window trim

All of the above with the same rims
or
All of the above with new rims, and go wider wheels, wider rear tires and still stretch the tires.


Soooooooo many things to think about. Somethings going to happen sooner or later.
