BRG/W W/ Hypersport pic request

Title says it all. I have two days to change my config before they build the car. Does anyone have the hypersport in BRG or any other color for that matter and have any feedback? Also did you get bumper protection installed at the dealer?

Well, it's not a BRG/W but you can still get an idea of what the Hypersport kit looks like. I personally really like the look although I do feel that getting painted fenders is a must! I really don't like the abrubt look with the non painted fenders. I have mine on order and should hopefully get them within the next one to two weeks.

I didn't get the bumper protection from the dealer although I'm thinking of having a clear bra put over the entire front and probably the bumper area as well. Still debating on that though.

Here's what the Hypersport kit looked like right from the dealership...






And here are some photos after being lowered and 18" wheels...

Saw your pictures with the ultraleggras from the other thread....man I love those wheels.

Not sure if I want 17 or 18 inch wheels. Maybe 18 to clear a big brake kit...

Thanks for the pictures.

I really love the way the ultras look and ride too! I just convinced my husband to let me get a big brake kit - YEA! I'm not sure what we're going to go with yet though. I could do Wilwoods to save a little money or go all out and get some Baers or Brembos...regardless, I can't wait to see how they look with the 18" ultras!

If you have the coin..

If you have the $$ go Brembo....best brakes in the world bar none.
