Yea I wanna get the slotted rotors but I'm gonna wait till I need brakes. It just got new brakes. Also I'm on the fence with the sideskirts.. I just don't see that big of a difference on a black car. My buddy has a white m5 and I can defiantly tell the difference in skirts

Reminds me of this guy:

Anyway, I think the sideskirts would show up more on a black car than white. The indentation of the skirt actually shows more of a shiny reflection of the surrounding lights and sky on a black skirt.

Trust me on the side skirts. I have jet black myself and didn't really see the difference much in pics and what not. After I got them, the difference is night and day.
When I looked at your picture of a modded car, it's actually weird to see the sides so bare like that.

Yup all about side skirts. Makes a HUGE difference. I had a black car as well. Here's a shot of my car from before. You can clearly see the skirts.
