Questions...did you paint or do vinyl on the chrome trim? I assume it's vinyl on the unfinished belt line correct? I looks great!

Very nice, how is the ride compared to your original suspension?

Thinking about some mesh for the rear fogs from M7? Or at least match the M7 front.

You should go alliance and put up a garage, you could be one of the best 09 JCW mod'd online.

To bad your so far away, I could see you shop doing some fine work on my 07.

Oops Edit: I see your alliance, I will have to check your garage updates....

The ride is fine....really not much of a ride diffrence but the performance is great, no body roll and no dive when you hit the brakes hard. Cornering is much better.

We should be a vendor here very soon.

Rage...your going to love the grills...I think the black grills against the pepper white are really going to set it off nice...little pricey but IMO worth every penny...Looks like I will be in your area between the 12th thru the 14th. I will keep you posted.

Have you thought about moulding the scoop into the hood? I saw an R53 somewhere with that done and it looked amazing. Subtle mod, very classy looking. Just like shaving the badge from the boot like you did.

The Vette looks amazing as well! Are you going aftermarket or painting them? I suppose it could look good if it's gloss. I can't stand the flat black look these days on wheels. So overdone... Doing a Joey Mod would tie it all in well nicely though. I suppose I'm warming up to the idea.

Thanks for the compliments on the Vette..it was a 3 year project for me and poured my heart & soul and plenty of cash into her. I am at 90% complete and now going to give the Mini the treatment..no where near as radical. Want to keep the Mini streetable but give it a diffrent identity..

The wheels on the JCW will be Gloss Black to match all the other black parts on the car.
