Thanks.. I am happy with it, I have maybe roll a quarter of each rear fender. I am running a 8.5 rim with 225/35/20 in front and a 9.5 with a 255/35/20 on the rear, makes for some rubbing a tad here and there, got to get that fixed then, Im good.. maybe should have run a 30 series, but oh well...

Im glad someone else thinks this too, its why I went with this color rather than like a hyperblack or gunmetal. Wanted it to pop.

Ya I have don't have sport package, I dont even have heated seats. Although I like the lines of the room without the sunroof, looks a bit different.

Thanks for the comments guys, I am glad it has some approvals.

Jason,

I need my shades for that brilliant silver! That is strictly official! I dont think Oregon is ready for that M this summer. With those springs and rims... looks like a different car and that dark smoked tint is on point. DAMN Nice! It looks nice and evenly dropped which has been a challenge for some Y34 memebers who have dropped their cars. Which springs again?

So, what is next ?

Ya I am glad I dont have it sort of... I like the look better, gives it some nice lines up there, and a bit more mucle looking. If that is possible.

Thanks man... I was going for this look and was happy to have it come out this way. Hard to determine rims etc when I havent seen many on any cars just what I have seen on here and cardomain. I haven't seen any of these cars ever here in Oregon. It has the espilar springs and its ended up looking pretty damn level in my opinion, only wish it was a quarter inch lower in front, but its all good.. As for whats next, I want to get some exhaust and intake but I am having problems with this any ideas.... I also would like to get a lip spoiler for the rear.

Thanks for all the comments guys!!!

Those rims are perfect, as said before it really makes your paint stand out. I don't normally like the silver but with those rims the car looks awesome!

Thanks for the compliments man. The springs will actually settle more over some time. My drop has gotten quite a bit lower from when I first put the spings on.

I like the wheels too man, looks great on the silver car.

You need to paint the sides and rear if you are not doing a kit, it totally changes the car. If you don't want to have the lights taken out of the bumpers at least paint them the color of the car. Cleans up the side profile.

Love the car man!
