Great! Like the wheels. Good choice.

[KANdaddy]

Nice! What kind of wheels are those?

[purpl3ish]

Threw them in the garbage where they belong.

+1 on the rims, specs please?

[ybbiz34]

Nice! What's the story on the splitters? I haven't seen those before on an M Sport.

[luivincci]

+2 on the rims, specs of the suspension please?

[JN1]

Gotta love the concavity of the rear wheels!

[DECITRE]

Beautiful car... Good choice for the wheels. Do you have a closer picture of the front splitter ?

[Mrfurious214]

19" Linea Corse 818 (8.5" front, 10" rear) no rubbing
H&R sport Springs
M-Performance Gloss grills
Plasti-dipped splitters/sides then coated with 3M Paint Defender from protection and gloss look
M-performance trim kit
2x8" sub's and amp in trunk

Still would like to black out roof

On order: V1 radar & Steelie iPhone mount

Couple things to note. When i first got my wheels the rears were bottoming out on the hub by a fraction of an inch. Had to get them bored out 2mm (covered by vendor). Could've used spacers but rims stuck out too much.

I went to a car show and my friend told me to try to make the m-performance look with dip. I didn't think we'd be able to do it since it wasn't straight lines but we got home and started taping off (used blue painters tape) the lines and i realized it would look perfect. I coated it with 3M spray so it wouldn't chip (which works great) and so it would match my Shadow Line around the windows. Its easier if you use a skinny roll of blue tape so you can bend around the back part easier. Once you spray the dip you have to wait for it to dry then re-tape slightly above dip line and spray with paint defender so it completely overlaps the dip. It works great and no chipping so far. The first time i did this I only dipped and within a couple weeks it was chipping away right behind fronts wheels from debris kicking off wheels. Remember to spray your lines thick and quick so when you pull the tape it leaves a perfectly smooth line. Front splitters were easier to tape since straighter. Make sure you cover everything else for protection from spray.

I build my own custom sub box and installed myself. Pretty straight forward for the wiring (follow natedogs post under "gas door rattle"). I have the non-HK system and couldnt take the awful base. Now its perfect. Still need to finish off the box install this week. Gonna frame out the trunk so i can put a nee false floor with a cutout and then put a metal grill on box sticking thru floor but sitting flush so i dont lose use of my trunk.

great work on the car! Awesome results!


I would not do the black top, but it's your car after all.

[purpl3ish]

i'm not so much of a fan of the dipped sides..think i liked the look of the m performance vinyls better but to each their own! i just didn't know if you had painted or vinyled it

[Phamous]

wow. very clean... i think you may have convinced me to dip my car like that too.....

[Ryan@IND]

I like the look of this car a lot!

Where did you get them?

Thx! Car looks

[JN1]

What was the offset of the wheels before you shaved the rear?

Let me know where you mounted the steelie. How about a photo. I'm assuming you got the ball mount.

[Mrfurious214]

Still waiting for it to arrive. Planning on mounting here. Hope it works well.

I like this better than M-Performance for a couple reasons. 1. It matches my exterior trim and m-performance grills. 2. It cost me about $40.

[Mrfurious214]

Thanks to everyone for the compliments!

Goddamn thats clean
