New Mod

chompino · 02-11-2009, 11:53 PM

First off, I would like to thank Nate @ IND for the great service once again.

I can always count on them and they were the first people that came to mind when I decided to try this small mod. They are a pleasure to deal with.

Anyway, as you can see, I decided to try painting a set of side markers. I wanted to get rid of the chrome, but the matte black and carbon versions just weren't growing on me. So keeping with the black/white theme, this was my last resort.

IND did an amazing job with the paint. The finish is perfect and the paint match is right on!

I am extremely happy with the result!!

I think it gives that area a nice clean look. The black and chrome seemed too distracting to me. Also, the blinker sort of blends in the with the paint, which I like as well. I'm not sure if these pictures do them justice, but I took these in a hurry today on my way home. I also put my te-37's back on. I forgot how much I loved those wheels.

Anyway, on to the pics!

Chad man, that looks great. The contrast against the black wheels really sets it off.

John@BMW · 02-12-2009, 08:23 AM

wow those wheels look great- they would go great with my IB / blacked out look. OP, What size and offsets are you wheels?

chompino · 02-12-2009, 09:53 AM

Thanks for all the compliments guys. It's not a huge mod or anything, but I really like the subtle look. I bet they would look great on another color like MR.

Thanks! I absolutely love these wheels. The fitment is perfect and gives the car a nice stance. The specs are:

Front: 19x9.5 +22
Rear: 19x10.5 +20

Looks great.

What happened to the G2's? Those were my 2 favorite wheels, along with the LM's.

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
