Thanks lawnboy.
This setup has no spacers and I have the stock sport suspension. Center caps are aftermarket. Stock center caps do not fit on these wheels.

Thanks oldschool. Blacked out roundels I got from Khoalty. I am debating to go back to stock roundels because of center caps. I could also go black and white. Any ideas?

Thanks Bronze545i. Hopefully I can complete the project this month. If not, by February. All these taxes coming up. So need to save a bit more. I bought the hood from a fellow member here.

Thanks aretardedorange. I am trying to find black and white roundels in this size (65mm). I would wish they made blacked out ones too. I might change my roundels to make everything match, either stock or black and white. As far as the lights, Don did the lights. He is also in this forum. He's done a bit of work for fellow members too.

Thanks Phi. Your simple mod got me all started. I was only going to do simple mods. Then I started reading posts in this forum and looking at everyones pics. Now, I am addicted. I will definitely post pics with every mod that is done. I might need another set of Euro overlays. I kinda messed up my first install.

+1 for Blk/white roundels for your wheels. Your hood is going to look so sick once installed. Can't wait to see it. Good choice Vic

Are the euro overlays hard to put on? I need to cover the orangeness..

These lights are blinding. They even light up the floor.

Looks great. My axis penta wheels just came in today. They will be installed tomorrow. What size center caps did you order? Where did you order them from, if you don't mind sharing. Thanks
