It just controls the speed, color, and bass sensitivity of the LED bar under the dash.

It's been about a year and a half for the front! It does look a little off when you first install it but the paint starts "blend" together after awhile.

that's good to hear that some color matching is still possible. i think wdp matches the worst but i've seen a few rare ones that match up and it looks good.

may just have to bite the bullet, i do like how it makes it more aggressive looking. where did you get yours from?

I'm waiting to scrape up these side skirts a little more before I get the A-Spec ones! Definitely on my list.

thanks for the response, i may get them from heeltoe since they are about an hour from me so no shipping.

just as a FYI, if you click the "+" button below each person's response and then click "quote" on the last person's response, you can respond to each post in one post.

Grizzly, we've got a Multi-Quote button in the lower right hand corner of each post-it's the middle icon.

Now you can answer more than one person in a single reply. It will look like Post #14. Be sure to try it out!

Dude, not feeling the owl. Unless it has supreme significance, you might think that one over again.

This might not be an easy task, but maybe consider getting the type s emblem from an OEM Type S steering wheel for the grill. I think the smaller one will fit the space atitle cleaner. Car looks great tho.

Fenders aren't rolled yet. You can get away without rolling fenders on stock wheels with a lot of set ups. I ordered some new wheels and they come in next week. They're 19's so I will probably have to roll fenders then.


This OVO conversation is funny LOL.

New Wheels

Avant Garde M550

19x8.5 +35 in the front and 19x9.5 +35 in the rear

I've had the wheels on for about two weeks and I'm not rubbing anywhere. I need a fender roll before I can go any lower. There is a 5mm spacer in the front to clear the brembos.

Mmm, loving the M550s. Not my favorite AGs (that title firmly belongs to the M590 Bespoke) but these look surprisingly good!

Yupp just plasti-dip because I wanted to see how it looked. I really like the look so I'm thinking about getting a vinyl wrap on the grill because the dip wears out really fast.
