looking good. i was a little unsure about that wheel when i saw just
the ads, but you confirmed they look very nice on the MCS.

Same summer wheels as last year....
new tires (Nankang NSII 215/40HR18) AND just cleaner....
A local wheel shop that fixed a bend in one of my rims had this "magic mix" metal polish that worked it's MAGIC.
Here are a few recent pics and a pic of the bottle of magic mix.
PS: many of you would suggest lowering - and i would have to agree - but my commute is from MD to DC (city driving = pothole driving
) and i don't have the heart to do that to my MCS.

hey, congrats on the wheels.
on your car i think a darker graphite color might look
better. try some duplicolor wheel paint.
i got the center caps from british atlantic. they are a
vendor here. it's convex shape and matches the sportedition
wheel cap contour very well.

Oh so clean. Looks nice without the spoiler, you replacing it or just got rid of it all-together? Are you getting spacers for the wheels?
Did you paint the chrome trim inside the taillight black?
Loving the car, definitely top 10.

yeah, removed the spoiler and covered the holes with the JCW caps that come with the JCW spoiler. planning on smoothing them later this year.
spacers are on, 5mm all the way around
chrome trim rings removed, on the 05/06 it reveals the red reflector, on 02-04 it's black. i have the 05
