Since you are putting the M Tech kit on don't forget the M trunk finisher

The M166 will look awesome on Alpine White.
I like the M167 but i think they are a bit to open and in my opinion they look better on a darker car.

166s look great on A/W , have you decided against the 172s ?
Both look great, looking forward to the final result.
Cheers

IMO, alpinewhite (light colored cars) look better with 166. I used to have them and I know. 167 for dark colored cars. But its your decision.
heres a pic of 166 & 167 (me and mikebuzzsaw).
