Glad you like it! I never got to experience stock, but that GIAC is really nice.

post son, post.

I am trying to talk my wife into letting me get a GIAC box off Marc as well for my S4, but I have a LOT of other stuff to pay and my wife doesn't work. I support the household on an E-3's salary.

Looks good, but did those have a polished lip to begin with? I would have probably left that.

How did you prep them for paint?

looks like the nicest bbs's i have seen, I don't really care for them at all but yours are fine. We have to do something with that plate though on the otherhand... I try to show the love to german cars equally [8D]

yeah love those wheels, nice look for the car and marc he is a great guy to get all your stage 2+ and stage 3 parts from. Washyourhands I would try to get my hands on some ssautocrome dps for cheap and go that way. I have had no problems with them and loved the price more haha. plus i also would recomend getting a 5.0 bar fuel reg if you plan on keeping your k03s for a while and then jsut going stage 3-.

Did you leave your tires on while you painted? If you did, what did you do to keep the chrome look on the rivets? I want to paint mine but don't want to paint those. BTW, car looks great if I couldnt get a nogaro, imola would be my next choice.

Sick man! I might paint the wheels I just bought.

Now that you have GIAC in your ride and I have new wheels and tires, hopefully address my brake issues; we will be matched better when Infineon comes up. :D
