Looks like it's about to understeer

The strut brace is Karbonius and the engine cover is Indiv.

That stance looks really good. I assume you have spacers....if so what sizes you go with? Apologies if I have asked you this question before. I have asked a few people as I'm going back and forth on spacer sizes for my M2 with the MP HAS kit.

Thanks. Spacers are 18mm F&R and KW HAS kit. Lowering, spacers or lower offset wheels, front lip and side skirts transform the car! Flush set up on my STi as well. You can see better in this pic

Definitely need Mudflaps or some paint protection with spacers though. I need to put the rear flaps on.

Thank you! I was about to get some 15mm's but you're setup makes me think I should just get the 18mm's. I don't think I've been this indecisive over a tenth of an inch difference in my life.

Yep, figured they were copies. Was wondering the brand but then saw your post in the wheels forum - the Forzas, if anyone else was wondering.

Not a wrap. ClarityCoat.

It's BMW Calypso.

Cool product there man. I'm sure it costs a touch more than PPF does. Is that correct... ?

[MineralGreyMetallic]

I am seeing more of this Clarity Coat stuff.

What's the removal process like? For something that is supposed to be temporary, it doesn't seem like it would be trivial to remove / clean up completely.

Less. Full PPFs are $5,000 or more.

I paid $3,800. And if I don't like it after a few year's, I peel it off and have a brand new paint job underneath.

Here is my former F87 turned from Saffire Black to San Marino Blue.

Nothing new, it's Autoflex. Basically a glorified plastidip and it has been around for a long time. It has become much less popular over the years because you need to be an expert painter with a full paint booth to do a decent application. Tons of labor for a mediocre product. 9/10 installers will not remove panels like needed, and just spray everything on the car. Also a nightmare with overspray and you'll be finding it for years to come.

I had a car done with it. Removal is a pain in the ass because you'll never get rid of the overspray between panels. Certain spots youll find with not enough coats and it won't peel in full pieces.

No offense to the owner but vinyl/PPF will always be a better alternative. $4k for plastidip is crazy to me. From the first red pic looks like it has a lot of orange peel in the door/fenders too.
