spechops... there was a guy here in the DFW area long ago that had the money and patience and tested each of the intakes. he can tell you (at great length sadly) that the stock air box with a K&N is by far the best bang for the buck and almost hard to beat power wise.

As an example, I used to pick on hound quite a bit when we had a big dyno day long ago. He won the NA challenge that day with the highest numbers, but he only beat me by 3 hp . All I had was plenum spacer and K&N drop in. His mod list was much larger. I also had the smoothest a/f line of the day.

If he just cleared it wouldn't have a tanished look. Not sure what finish he did. Kinda like a copper finish but its too purple.

no they're full slotted with "wipers" DBA 4000 series rotors

yeah but there's a lot more than just black in the finish. They were given a high polish before PC and the color mix has black, purple, blue, green, grey and a teeny tiny bit of flake.

Custom one off color ftw

Edit: the center cap is what they were originally. I kinda like the contrast between the cap and the rest of the wheel

I adjusted my coilovers again, and uninstalled my front SPC camber arms. I think I am going to roll with the OEM front control arms.

I need to do some trimming on the rear fender liner due to some minor rubbing, but I will try and get it done tonight while I am still in the mood.

Anyone need some SPC front control arms for a 07+ sedan or G37?
