It's going to be very hard to show the difference spacers make with photos. It's definitely more of an "in person" kind of difference, at least that's what I experienced when I put mine on. Photos of before and after looked identical, but in person I could tell a difference.

specially with the spacers being 6mm...if they were like 20mm, am sure you can make out the difference in pics as well...
In person, I agree, the difference looks awesome...I was the one against spacers but after helping Steven put them on, I instantly said, that did make a good difference....
now for springs and wheels, right Steven

^^^ I can do that....LOL!
Someone came out with a module to roll the windows up and down, from the original key fob! It's just plug and play-I'm looking into it. I've had a call into the company selling it. 2 days-no call-backs.

that sucks they havent returned your call...
how are other members reviewing the product? am guessing by plug and play that it plugs into your OBD2 port...its amazing what the OBD2/CANBUS port can do

to show the difference, you'd need a few before pictures from a much more intense angle.
Overall, looks great although for 6mm, that cost might have been better put toward springs.
but what do I know...
and you 2...don't you guys have telephones!

Steven, what is the company making the module? Is it the same as the one that makes it for the TL? If so, mine has worked flawlessly for over 5 years now. 
HRE aren't the only wheels out there...there are a LOT of other very nice wheels that could look great on that car that don't cost a used 09 civic.
look into all the decent brands...shoot, there are even more for the domestic crowd...even vossens look great on a lot of mustangs. Yes, I know...heavy, but at your power, who gives a shit!?!?!?
just remembered...KP Technologies?!

Ordered the window roll-up/roll-down yesterday. I'm not sure when it will ship because of the holiday.
I also see where one of the other Vendors is now making colored seatbelts. I wrote to him tonight to ask about red ones and pricing....I'll keep you posted.

Throttle body spacer ordered today too.
You guys tell me what you think-in the description of the throttle body, they claim it adds 8 horsepower and 10 lb/ft of torque.

That's what I thought too. I'll take the "alleged" added horsepower though.
The red seatbelts would set this car off!!!
I know, I know........but these are "little" mods. The big stuff is done.

Yeah the red seatbelts would be incredible! Throttle body spacer meh I hear they're typically worthless but report back once you get it on and tell us if it made any kind of difference.

I'm still waiting to hear back from the Vendor about the seat belts. He is obtaining some core seatbelts and is supposed to get back with me.
The Window Roll Up/Roll Down module and the Throttle Body Spacer are due to arrive this Friday.

I try not to have that problem-I'm careful with my spending. My mom always said to not buy things that you don't have the money for.

about the TB Spacer, it all depends on how heatsoaked your bay it...I had mine and I could swear the throttle seemed a little peppier! but then again the TL is known to heat soak...am not sure how this will do in the Vette, but hey I wouldnt go off the gains on the label, if that was the case, I am sure am making over 350whp LOL

The throttle body arrived today. Still waiting for the Window Module-hopefully that will get here tomorrow.
I'll check back with the Vendor about the seat belts next week.

^^^ Interesting you ask....my wife has never seen DMB. I've seen him 4-5 times. We were outside in the heat....it was Africa Hot. It was so hot here in KC yesterday, I actually saw a tree chasing a dog!
Rhonda enjoyed the show. I thought it was the worst show I've ever seen him do....boring show, no energy, the solo's were WAY too long. I didn't enjoy the show.........AT ALL.
