This is the link to the color of my wheels. It's just called metallic bronze. After the powder coat you just have to make sure the person who is powder coating your wheels add on clear coat to bring out the bronze.

Here's a few more picture. Not much of a difference from the other ones, just different angles. Enjoy!

I'm not running any spacers. The wheels are pretty much flush with the car. It wouldn't hurt if I put 10mm spacer on it but for me I don't like spacers (personal preference).

What spring perch mod did you do? The one that I know of involves the Energy Suspension Poly bushing/spacer installed on top of the rear spring.
Interested to know if there's another "fix".
Thanks!

How is it so flush without spacers? The fronts are 19x8.5 et43, which shouldn't be anywhere near flush. The rears are 19x9 et45 for the coupe, et30 for the vert. The vert wheels are flush-ish, but the coupe wheels wouldn't be at all... I'm not seeing how the wheels would end up this flush...? Are you running positive camber?
(Am I missing something here?)

If you talking about coupe wheels on a sedan than its different.The coupes have more wheel space and also they can run lower offsets. A coupe would need spacers with stock wheels to make it flush. For a sedan it doesn't. For example, 20x10 vossen vfs2 at 25 offset can fit the coupes no problem, but for a sedan its not gonna fit well. Yes, you can make it work by running negative camber but its gonna be really aggressive. I called many places such as Vossen and element wheels to confirm this.

It's a bit tough to tell from the pics but there's still quite a bit of room to go out. Keep in mind even the conservative 8.5 +43 is still another 12mm out from the stock 17 & 18s that are only 7.5" wide. From the looks of it he could still go out 15mm without any problems running in-spec camber.

Looks really good regardless!

Finally got around to installing my Carbon Signal carbon fiber front lip. Here are a couple of quick pics (sorry for the messy garage). I'll post up some better pics after the Instafame show on 10/25.

Now it's time to start installing all of my new carbon fiber interior parts. Here are a couple more parts I just received from Tony at Carbon Element.

Such a nice job on that "old" G, that view from the front is killer
Look forward to the rest of those CF goodies installed.

Yessir that's the one. I went with the thicker bushing and my front/rear wheel gap is identical as far as I can tell

Allow me to say ... very creative what you did with LED DRL/fog light delete.

To me, those OEM DRLs look like an afterthought when installed alongside the OEM fog lights, but with the fogs removed, and the inserts replaced with the matching black mesh, the DRLs look very nice, this is the best looking application I've seen, and never thought to execute them in this way. Great job man!

Let me also ask, what is involved with removing the fog light inserts from the bumper cover? By inserts, I mean the fake mesh panels that surround the fog light

Thanks, guys. Very much appreciated! I actually wasn't sure if I would really like the lip or not (I actually prefer the OEM look), but after installing it and seeing it on the car it's starting to grow on me.


And, yes, the car is getting quite "old". LOL. I've had it almost 7 years to the day and I just passed 60K miles on the odometer last weekend. Eek!
