Thx! I wasn't sure about these wheels at first but am loving them now. Scheduling today didn't work out, so I'm actually gonna get the Eibach's installed on Monday morning now. Will post updated pics ASAP.

Sure thing, will do. If you have the bonnet stripes I highly recommend the boot stripes. Bonnet stripes by themselves look fine, but I've never seen someone do just the boot... Would possibly look fine as well though. Here's another pic (excuse the dirt) of the stripes. More to come soon!

Jealous of your JCW 'fatty'. Sweet

Thanks! The passport thing is a "remote mute" button for the radar detector. Ideally you would have it mounted next to your steering wheel or some where closer than that. There are a few members on here who I have seen mount it to the steering column or actually to an unused button on a MFSW. VERY clean looking jobs. Unfortunately a job that nice is above me and that was the only place I could put it and make it looks "clean." Its a far reach but it serves its purpose.

For the passport 9500i you can also use that button to store false alerts so it will ignore them the next time around.

Thanks! I'd definitely say to go for them. I know some prefer the stripe-less look, but I really like them.

Not often you get a rolling shot of your own car Had my buddy drive it while I sat in another friend's car to take pics.
