so no roll yet and no rub with this setup? is that cuz of the +35 offset?

I'm looking into a new setup myself but want to avoid rolling fenders. just not sure if I want 18 or 19s. those 19s look dope man

Yeah I would definitely go with 19's because they really look like they fit the car. I have a little bit of stretch on the rear tires which gives me just enough clearance to not rub. I want to go lower which is the only reason I need a fender roll. If you find a wheel shop that knows what they're doing, they'll hook you up with a set up that wont need a fender roll.

Not sure about the spoiler but I actually have the same CF roof wrap (mine is gloss CF and his looks to be as well) yes its cutout for the sunroof

I believe when they do it they have your sunroof completely open and make the appropriate cuts

And the roof spoiler is from ebay, it was from bmwoemshop. Its a pretty common roof spoiler, a lot of people on this forum are using them on their TLs. Here's the acurazine link: https://acurazine.com/forums/photogr...poiler-864602/

Hey Grizz, just curious, how much of a drop did those Teins give you precisely? Or was it a combination of those and other mods?

Your ride looks great man! Quick question, were the trim pieces that surround the radio you did in the CF wrap difficult to remove? I have some wrap left over from the mods I did and I'm thinking about doing that as well. Trouble is I can't decide if I want to get some silver CF wrap or just stick with the black that I already have

They were really easy! They just pop out with some pressure. The wrapping is kind of tricky, just make sure you use a big piece of vinyl so you get ample enough wrap to stay down. I think carbon fiber looks awesome so I would recommend doing a CF wrap.

I'm not sure what the range is exactly but i'm sure you can call TEIN and they can give your more information. I never measured so I dont know exactly the drop. I dropped enough to close the wheel gap and tuck the wheel with about five threads left on the coil-over in the front and three threads in the rear.

Lovin that red type s emblem in your grill. is it very expensive? how'd you get the red thing around your shifter, what's that part called.

Are you you from the University of Washington? I see it in that interior pic of your car lol just wondering. Cuz I'm in Seattle!
