Mike - The car looks stunning! Fantastic job!

Ahh OK, maybe it is the sunlight in the last 3-4 pics that make windows looks lighter or the lack of the windscreen tinting

Looks great! I just set the 4th photo as the desktop on this computer.

I'm torn between 167's or 166's -- your wheels look so good with Monaco Blue it's making me lean that way again.

I see where Nick was coming from on the tint. It looks lighter in a couple of these shots, but in other pictures of your car before it has looked darker -- the sun must have been pretty bright.

Nick - I just noticed you have darker tint on the sides than the rear. What was your reason?

It's vice versa. 35% on the sides (4 doors) and 20% on the rear windshield. I did it dark in the rear because it's the biggest window which brings in the most light. If i did 35% on the rear, my 35% on the side would look like 50%!

35% is perfect imo. Not too dark during the day, but at night, you can't really see in. The darkness really depends on the angle. The front windshield allows a lot of light to get in.

And get M166.


If you want wallpaper size pictures, pm me the pic you like and the size of your screen resolution.

mike makes the ride twice as nice. The ride looks lower actually my preferred height.

Advantage with coilovers! I compared it to other with HR sport (in person of course) and my drop is equivalent of 2 inch front and 1.5 in the rear from a non sport. I can't stick my finger in the wheelwell up front. I need to drop the rear a little bit more.

Looks amazing!! Get M5 side mirrors, it'll look real real nice... Any plans for quad exhaust?

MikeBuzzsaw

Course! Waiting for the meet to hear everyone's exhaust and make a decision later. Maybe get lucky and fine a used one.
