to be honest I don’t know much about my car even though I’ve owned it since 2010... is there a reason to put an oil pan spacer?

Hi Broken

These engines seem to have a poor reputation for producing an abundance of heat. Oil pan spacer is cost effective and easy way to help "a little" with heat problem To be fair I've only read about this and am just being safe. You've already removed pan and it wouldn't take more than an additional half hour.. and maybe 200$

I’ll look it up. If it’ll help I’ll do it. A spacer for 200 dollars lol. Seems excessive lol

I'm Canadian we pay nearly double for everything due to lack of availability.

I've always felt the IPL was a special car. GLWS. Hope you take better pictures than that.

Couple changes

Added factory spoiler (6 months to order from dealer) and powder coated factory rims. Not sure about next mod.

Get them to do your centre caps, or just paint them yourself close enough. Its nice when the center caps are matched. Here are my rims ( they are dirty, i was just swapping them off for snow rims/tir

es)

Rims

Yeah your matched caps look great! I tried to do the same. Mine are painted but not a great match. That pic makes them look shiny for some reason. Thought about black lugs also but prefer to run factory lugs on expensive rims.

previous poster, congrats on the new g! If you’ve never owned one before you are in for a treat!!

Ah its just a reflection. Its funny, i wasnt a fan of the stock rims when i got the car but they were gouged pretty bad so i had to have them refinished but now... gun metal really transforms them to the point im no longer in a hurry to purchase new rims lol. You made a good choice in rim colour btw, they suit your car well 👍
id love some Works wheels at some point but suspension/handling is definitely more of a priority. KWs in the near future!
