Coupe done?: VS7s, tint, Eibach, Aero, Spoiler...

since finding this site before my car was even delivered and trolling around, i've found it very useful w/ links and vendors and members for the most part. i think i'm pretty much done now though(might get an mtech bumper, but kind of like the all silver look for now). here are pretty much all my mods, where purchased and thoughts. hope it's helpful:

most useful/favorites(ranked):

1) huper optik 40 tint: this material is amazing and reduces a ton of heat. - stm los angeles

2) morr VS7s & regular tires: much lighter, and look huge, and since getting rid of the runflats and replacing them w/ some yokos (not the best tires but 10x better than runflats) the ride is much improved. the rims took forever to get though and need their own center caps, something a good wheel brand should provide. -carlos

3) oem areo lip: makes a huge cosmetic improvement. -longtran

4) bimmian painted reflectors: also a big improvement-very first mod. -**********s

5) m3 spoiler: not very noticeable but i like it. paint wasn't the greatest, but it's such a small piece. (had the oem spoiler too, but it got damaged after painting so ordered pre-painted to save some time. it's a rep but it was identical to oem for anyone wondering). -m-force

6) sport shifter: weighted, slightly shorter, feels much better and i guess you could say it's the most used used mod - leatherz

7) eibach pro-kit: wanted a slight drop since adding rims. very minimal but what i was looking for. - tirerack

could do w/o but was just bored:

pedals: oem pedals and mdead petal, looks nice and was very cheap. - tischer

spare & jack kit: just got one since getting rid of runflats and didn't really trust the other alternatives. kind of strange it needs a spacer. - leatherz

rad wheel locks - **********s

painted front plate holder - body shop

chrome frames - dealer

Looks great...I personally got HO30 as I wanted it a bit darker, but that 40 looks good.

Were the springs installed already? Maybe the 19's offset your drop?

Looks nice. Cleanly modded. Maybe too much sun in those pics though.

it's very good, much better actually because of the runflats. not sure how much a difference the springs made.

Looks great. I think you just did everything on the list for my next project car. It's the perfect update for my current ride. Thanks for the preview!

$400 or so for everything, $245 for the tire alone. kind of expensive i know, but it's comforting to know i have.

looks really good, love the vs7's and the drop is perfect in the rear, front is a little high but i guess it will settle.

Any power mods planned?
