yeah I have an X but spring/summer time I am going to pull the fuse so I can run staggered and then in the winter put the fuse back in!!

I have OEM rims with tires already on them....so I swap between complete sets. That would be insane if I swapped tires...besides, they wouldnt fit on my stockers

Thanks Gary. Yeah, went front darkest to lightest in like a final 20 minute decision. I was on the fence till my buddy came over and was like "BRUSHED ALUMINUM FTW!" Originally Posted by gary c

I am actually running 45mm in the rear. I may have some pics handy at home (at work right now). I will post them up if I do...if not I will take some this weekend.
I have no rubbing issues right now. Had the Mrs. and two of my kids in car seats last week....no rubbing what so ever.
I am going to drop it more though which may lead me to have to roll the fenders.

I plan on using my OEM ones as a winter setup and the aftermarkets as my summer set. It only takes me like 15 minutes to swap rims...being a son of a mechanic, I have all the tools I need to get'er done Originally Posted by KrazyEd

Yep, that's the front bumper. I have the whole kit. Originally Posted by dmzz

Thanks

That's a clean IP. I bet there isn't a scratch on your car. Your aero front bumper probably hasn't scraped once.

^Thanks G35dreamz
I wish. I've had the rear bumper re-sprayed (thanks wifey
), I have 3 door dings I need to get fixed and small winkle in the front fender (hit and run) On the very bottom of the front bumper cover there is a small scrap. Little chips here and there from rocks.
Its my daily driver so it gets driven alot. (90K+). I do my best to keep it as clean as possible but it's inevitable that it will get damaged by others or by just the daily grind of a commute.
