Car has 62k on it. Deep growl, pop, suprised me. Thought it had aftermarket exhaust but it was all factory castings.

Possible but I would rather get a 135. I felt that the 128 lacks top end power. My jcw is way faster than the 128, especially getting on the highway. Still impressed on handling and how it sounds tho.

That will look nice. I've liked the thick, solid offset strip with a thin pinstripe next to it. I think I'm going to remove mine come warmer weather.

That's my thoughts. From front bumper, hood, roof, spoiler, boot, rear bumper. Adds 6 horsepower right?

Just have to buy 2 kits. There are a ton on ebay as well. I like this one: Fat black stripe with thin red stripe.

Installation shown above required 1 kit for the bonnet and 1 for the boot and 1 extra for the lower front and rear bumper wrap. We can also do a custom roof stripe kit for you which is actually 2 'kits' worth of material but cut all at once so there are no gaps. If you have a sunroof you can buy 2 extra kits and it should cover the front and rear portion of the roof plus some extra.

from the descrip 5 total for the whole car including roof, at that price, im sure i can get it installed at my local vinyl place with different colors haha

where would you have yours done? maybe we could get a group deal, since we are basically looking at the same vinyl?
