Christ, id rather have a 550i but my 523 is good enough for me It gets the looks that I want.... and am happy with mods ive done!
I never have a 550i in HK not worth it and wast of money.
you do know it cost about same as a Porsche Panamera $988,000 for the 550i
Or better off having your 523 with full mod for the family and a 2nd car like S2000 or GTR for weekend SMD car.

ET I will call you when we have a SMD and I try and get Mike GTR out too.

A lot of the time it is trial and error with mods....
yup, agree with you. No one can gurantee no error.
But i think the after service of mark's shop is good, yeah.
enjoy your mod and music!!!!

i didn't fit them, they were nicely made BUT they were way way too aggressive!!!!
imagine side and rear side skirts sticking 3 inches out, front splitter sticking 5 inches out............ it made my wheels small and needed a quick lowering to look normal.... it was like Capt's car on civic 16inch wheels turning into Derrick's brute of a car at a blink!!

i will have a less aggressive kit put on soon.
i will put up the photos soon anyway of the aggressive kit.
Maybe the a SONG SONG BILL would use it, but i am just SONG Bill right now.........
