Matte Cherry red.

But this color is nice too. If only they had Brushed Red metallic. I'd be all over it.

Sorry about commenting on this old post, but i just had a quick question about the side grills in this pic. I noticed u removed the chrome pieces from the actual vent and i was just wondering how you go about doing that. I know the middle part of the vent detaches from the outer frame, but where do you go from there?

They clip right out the grill assembly. Push them to one side (they are directional clips) and boom! The chrome pieces separate from the larger piece.
I hope that helps.

Yes it does. I just wanted to make sure they do in fact clip out before i go and break them. Thank you and good luck with the rest of your build

if there is anything i really want to recommend to anyone reading my build thread, please consider this Carbon Fiber hood from Seibon. i love this damn thing. i get a lot of compliments on it all the time.

one other thing, the flush stance of these large spacers...damn the car looks really aggressive with these. 20mm up front and 18mm in the rear. it really makes a difference. now that im out here in Cali and see a lot of E60s w/o spacers i can really appreciate the difference.
