roof spoiler is a replica.. got it on ebay..
roundels were easy.. wheels took about 90 seconds.. hood was easier then the trunk.. harder to get leverage without scraping up the car...
and the spacers i got from www.rougueengineering.com and i can see the difference immediately.. they come with the longer lugs for a total of $115 i believe..
costa rica?? im soooo there .. !!!
ill take lessons down there

That means I would have to replace my wheel locks to get longer ones?

+1 youll definitly need longer lugs.. and i agree with calton.. if they want your wheels.. there gonna take them...JUST GET EM!
Did you get 2 or 4 spacers? Just wondering if you did spacers on the rear wheels only or all the way around. Also I've got the M5 166 rims and not the M5 rims with the M6 offset. What spacers do you think will get me to the M6 offset?
