Yep, leaning towards some custom fitment BBS LM’s 20’s all around. The goal is to rock 285’s in front and 305 in the rear for tires.

I haven’t decided on wheel face color yet, leaning towards mirror lip with white face. Still weighing out other color options.

I need to get a list of courses to play in that area! Everyone is always saying it's a good golf trip destination!

Also, do you have problems scraping with your set up (drop, front lip, etc.)?

Man there are so many good ones! I usually try to golf in the scottsdale area so I don’t have to drive too far. But send a DM and I can make a list of the ones I love

And I’ve mostly been good with scraping. The thing that scrapes the most is the underside of my exhaust on those more tall narrow speed bumps

Yea it is! The MHC products are great and always fit really well. Had them on my G80.

I didn’t install the diffuser myself, but fitment is great!

That's great to hear. They were fairly expensive, but I've heard great things, and they do look great.

Are your inlets also MHC? I was on the fence about getting those, and worried about the ease of install of MHC vs M Performance. I think I'm going to go with the MHC inlets.

Do you have pics somewhere in another thread of the rear where I can see the rear attachments, if you installed them?

Thanks!

I have a theory that the black wheels look fine at stock height as the wheel, tire and wheel arch all blend in together.

Anyone else notice the messy double sided tape on the spoiler? particularly on white.

The spoiler came off for PPF so it's much better now.
I pulled my stock spoiler off yesterday in prep for the new RW Carbon lip spoiler. The amount of adhesive used for the stock lip spoiler is way overkill.

Getting ready to pull mine off tomorrow or Friday. What did you use to get the excess adhesive off of the trunk?

Hair dryer, string, Goo Gone ( probably not the best solution) and a flexible plastic scraper. Then cleaner to get the Goo Gone off. I then put on the new spoiler, and rewaxed the whole trunk.

The process was a pain in the neck. Maybe mine had baked in the Mexican sun for too long.

Be very patient. It takes a lot of time and elbow grease.

I'll PM you for sure about the courses in that area!

I'm glad to hear it's not too bad with scraping. But you bring up a good point about the speed bumps and the exhaust. I feel like I have a few of those in my area that I'll have to remember to take a certain way for sure.

Thanks!

I heated the old one with a hair dryer. Then used a plastic bondo squeegee and pulled that back through it while my son carefully lifted on the spoiler. By heating and working slowly it came off nicely.

As for the leftover adhesive ( which was a lot ), I tried a few things. Goo Gone ( citrus stuff ) was too weak.

Goof Off Professional ( chemical stuff ) I was going to try as I had some in my house. But after reading the label I thought it might be too strong.

I had a can of 3M Adhesive Remover. What I found best was to heat the adhesive with the hair dry, spray a bit of the 3M on it and let it set for minute or two. Then I would take the sharp edge of a plastic trim tool and "scratch it" kind of breaking it up with lines.

Next I took the bondo squeegee and lightly scraped it off. Once done with that I put some 3M on a rag and wiped what was left.

I then wiped it down with 70% IPA and followed it with a light polishing using my random DA and some polish. Took about an hour from when we started until I was done buffing. Would have went much quicker if they didn't lay the factory adhesive on so thick and wide.

I was driving around yesterday and some guys with cameras waved me over and asked to take pics of my car. They sent me this shot and then mentioned they could do a photoshoot for cheap if I wanted. I am sooo in love with this car!
