Now let's see those white ms3!

How'd you fill in the holes from the emblem?

when you pull off the emblem there are two little pins that stick into the holes in the hatch, each pin has a clear plastic sleeve around it. i pulled off the sleeves, filled them flush to the top with spackle, light sanding, painted the tops with a few coats of body matching touch-up paint, then snapped them right back into the holes!

not yellow, you know I loved your other wheels along with the whole stance and subtle scheme of your car. I do not currently feel the same way

do you have any close up shots of this ... I hate to make you expose any imperfections, but I've been wanting to debadge my hatch and I was thinking that I would have to repaint the whole thing.
thanks :u)

EDIT: ps: your car is beautiful (with either wheels)

The headlights are actually "grayed" out, LOL. The chrome rings are painted graphite... although unless in direct sunlight it looks black.

If only we all lived in flat Arizona. I scrape right now pulling into my driveway. Any lower, and I might not have a bumper left.

Up next for me is tint.

what happened to the lip?

 

[LaraS]

Copied from the other thread:

Gone gone gone. The lip, side skirt pieces and rear spoiler lip were sold. Unfortunately I had to liquidate some unneeded things due to a company-wide pay cut at work.

Some quick/bad pics of the new wheels.

And to answer what is probably going to be asked...
Wheels are Drag DR-34 17x7.5 with a 45 offset, the tires are Nanakang NS-1 225/45 and the car is lowered with the Eibach Pro-Kit.

And yes, my mud flaps are warped to s***. That's what happens you go with the Rally Armor Basics and you're damn place of employment has stupid speed bumps that no matter how slow I go, scrape/warp the s*** of them. (unamused)
