He's not on here cuz he knows he would do what I did LOL. He's also looking to get a Porsche in a couple years. Trade in his coupe on a 997 or somethin. He works at Ampi downtown, hes been there a few years. It also helps when you have two ppl that help you make your house payment I'm one of them

Depends on the "offset/accent" color you're going for. On an IP car, you can pretty much pull off any of these colors without a problem Tevi.

if you're getting different lugs, you can sell me yours!!

Nah, they don't make an SPC kit for the M45, I talked to the guy at THC Motorsports....I guess he also wasnt aware that eibach made something. He kept saying no and I gave him product numbers off his damn website! I have some ordered, but they won't ship for a few days due to an address issue. So I wont have any camber kits going to Bama, I just hope that the tires wear properly. I'm getting an alignment done on Friday

I would totally do a red or blue, it would stand out well from your car, plus the bronze or gunmetal won't mismatch the color with your CF theme you got goin on....You could even paint your calipers to match too lol

I only have the tail lights red but they are getting tinted within a couple of weeks. Oh yeah the emblem on my engine cover is red.

I m keeping the lugs. Just wanna add some color to the caps so they stand out now that wheels are black. N since next year I m going with a new wheel set up it has to work for it as well.

I m leaning towards blue at the moment. Calipers would be a nice touch. I ll add that on my to do list for next year maybe Haha

See i find that extremely weird for the fact that the SPC camber arms...ARE EIBACH BRAND! Literally, the SPC box comes w/ Eibach camber arms/toes right in it. Even had Eibach branded onto the actual part..lol

Tevi, are you going with open end lugs or closed? You have a burnt tip exhaust right? If so, I think the burnt titanium lugs would be a nice touch!

Agree... otherwise do red. Red and black or white looks nice!

The Volks are open end but have the lil cap on them. I think I m probably just gonna get a new set of Kics lugs. They don't come in burnt titanium (would be sick) but they have them in blue. Guess it s worth looking into before I make the final decision. Thanks for an awesome idea

Oops, my previous pic post is not what I was looking at before...they are burnt designed but all you would see is the blue. The Muteki lugs that I saw before were these where the burnt effect was on the ring not just on the stem.
