What have you done to your MS3 today?

Painted the bottom part of the bumper flat black to match the HD lip and the rest of the plastic around the grill.

This looks really Nice. Kinda has a GT-R look to it now. worth considering
 
please don't make ur ms3 look like a dalmatian. this looks really good right here, don't add more stuff to it.

I've always wanted a carbon fiber hood on a white car, but I can't bring myself to spend close to a grand just for that.

But yeah I like the way it is right now, I don't think I'm going to do anything else to it in the front just under the hood.
 
thanks! I personally think it looks worse, and I anticipated that. It rides like a marshmallow though, and seems to have picked up some spunkiness.
 
What size wheels and tires are those? I'm going 17" lightweight but I'm having a hard time deciding which wheels to buy.

I'm in the same boat as you. I've decided on Motegi Traklite 2's which weigh 14.6 lbs and are 17x8 with a +45 offset. I just am trying to decide on tires. I think I'm going 225/45/17 with a set of Hoosier A6's
 
re-installed ap v103j with new denso plugs and SU test pipe today. woot. next monday i plan on installing my prosport boost guage in vent pod.
 
traklites were what I was going to buy. Can't find them. Everyone lists them. Everyone says...2-3 months.



wheels are 17X7.5 215/50

They are out there. I found them so PM if you want the link. Tire rack won't list them until they are ready to ship. 295 a piece I think. 17x8 +45. They are scheduled to ship 7/27.

What brand/type of tires are those swampass? They look more like all seasons than summer performance. Are you lowered? (don't know if thats been asked yet)

(right to left)

1.On the ramps
2.Doin' work
3.The two mounts: Notice the nut on the original mount is broke off on the right. It's held on my 3 weaksauce spot/tack welds. The TRZ welds are much beefier.
4.Done!(wiggle)

Man did you tighten the bolt by accident before you took it off? They are just tack welds so its possible to break just haven't heard of it before.
