Yeah I know night and day difference, for me CIC is huge since I commute everyday browsing through my playlist on my current iDrive seems clunky . haha funny you mention that today I had a buddy order the new 2012 DVD maps for my car and when he saw the price he said go to best buy and pick a navigation cheaper lol!!! We'll see what I can do first though CIC or LCI . Do you go to any meets?

i think it would be a good color combo....but honestly....with that pretty blue exterior color i think YELLOW would kick so much more ass! see below:

lol great minds think alike - its funny last night i saw a video of a blue ferrari with yellow calipers and decided to go with yellow. Now listen to this guys, how about painting the calipers with Light blue, BLue and Red, like M stripes ??

They meet up in San Bruno/Tanforan as well they alternate every other Friday. Yeah every time I drive a loaner then back to my car the comparison is like windows 98 LOL

LCI is not cheap either

hey bud, i dont have the spacers on yet but with 20mm offset there is not rubbing whatsoever. With 5mm spacers you really dont need extended bolts but some people recommend it for a piece of mind, i on the other hand am not planning on using extended bolts. As long as the spacers are hubcentric you shouldnt really have any vibration. I am using H&R in front and Rstechnik in the rear and both seem really well built.
