BTW, this may not be the post to ask, but does anyone know a way to cover or replace the reflector in front of the front wheel with body color reflectors??

Thanks for the comments...
BTW, I talked to the guy that sold me the 172's again today...he said he doesn't have 12mm spacers in stock, only 15mm!
Guess what I'm installing tomorrow?

I got 12mm spacers on mine and they look great. I wonder what 15 mm spacers will look like. The white is a beautiful color. I like the CF splitters. How much those run you?
As soon as they are installed I will post pics. 
The splitters are OEM and the "stealership" charged me $299 per.

Its due to the fact the rear offsets are ET32 so people add a 12mm spacer to get the more flush look. The 12mm spacer pushes the wheel towards the fender and away from the strut. So you're ET32 is now a 20 which most prefer
