Congrats! So you got converted to DCT too! JK. I know it was because of your knee, or else you would still but the 6MT!

Quick picture this weekend... my son was SO excited about the car. He LOVES cars... he keeps talking about how he can have an M3 when he is big like me . I'll try not to encourage his car lust too much as it is an expensive addiction to have.

The OEM Edition Gloss Black grilles and the painted reflector deletes are compliments of Nate@IND.

That's Awesome!

Also the grilles do look sharp. You were right.

More pics please, Heath! Those grilles look amazing. Very aggressive look; classier than my matte black ones. No front plates required???

More pictures will be coming when the weather turns and I can clean up the car a bit... I'll do a full picture thread, etc.

I really do like the Edition grilles and gills... aggressive looking yet fits the character of the car.

No front plates required in NS The front looks so much cleaner... I feel badly for those who require it. We use to and then the politicians saw the light.

Heath, the car looks fantastic! I see your wheels/tires showed up...they look great on JB. How do you like the PSS's ? I might have missed where you posted sizes...did you go with 255, 275/35's ?

Very happy with my car. I've been busy doing some home renos since I've picked it up so not much time for the car, but I did manage to clean it up this weekend.

I went 245/275 only because the place where I was ordering the tires from couldn't get 255 fronts quickly and I didn't want to have the winters on any longer. I would have preferred 255 fronts but didn't want to wait another week . My bigger concern was 275 rears as I found 265 PS2s lost traction too much on hard acceleration. I ran 245/275 last summer on my AluFelgen's and the balance was fine.

PSS are AMAZING... better in every respect compared to any street tire I have ever owned. You will LOVE yours when then arrive.

With the spacers I have, the offset is almost identical to the Morr VS8.2.

Yeah the Morr's are ET22 F and 20 R and the ZCP's with 10/5 spacers would be 21F and 20R.... Perfect offsets imo. If I use the ZCP/PS2's much I'll likely add the same spacers. Curious if the 5mm size needs longer bolts. I read somewhere they don't ?? Any vibration issues at all ?

The MS spacers I bought from IND included new bolts... even for the 5mm spacers. No vibration at all as they are hubcentric and made for the M3. Perfect fitment and very nice quality. PM Nate@IND when you are ready to order as they are really the very best in the business.
