Tasteful mods! I think lighting upgrades are in my future too...definitely the smoked side marker lights!
I put on TMS 15mm spacers in the rear. I love how they look, but hate the fact that my tire shop REFUSES to put them back on whenever I go in for a rotation. They say it's a "liability" issue.

Just had my 550 in for service and they notice my tires are completely worn out on both sides on the inside of the tire, BUT it was not like this when i put the spacers on?
Dont make sense, spacers doesn't change the angle anything, just the width.

The rear tires/suspension should have a bit of a negative camber to begin with, then under compression/load, the negative camber increases. With spacers, it pushes the tires out away from the pivot point, so you will actually have a tiny bit more negative camber even parked, and especially under compression.
You can have the rear aligned again (with spacers installed) to match factory camber, which should bring wear issues back to normal.
