I believe the brand is Opti wheels.

I don't run spacers on these wheels. The specs for these wheels are 18x8.5 et35.

Are you currently using h&r Sport springs? I've been thinking about getting springs but people have talked about how the H&r's are rough on the shocks. Have you had any problems with them?

Yes I have the H&R springs. So far no issues or complaints.

Just installed these carbon fibre m3/4 style mirrors on my car this weekend. Thanks to bizfiend for the sale and install!

Looks like F aeroplane. Sick pictures

Car looks sweet, too bad didn't see it in person. I'll bet the JB4 is awesome even on Stage 1. Was the install easy, like direct plug & play into the odb port?

Yes the JB4 was easy to install. Only thing is to feed the wire from the engine into the cabin for the OBD port you need to cut a slit in a rubber plug.

Great job- anyone have a lead on replica wheels?

The company that makes them is Opti Wheels.

Went for a few pictures with a friend that picked up his M235i recently. Also installed a VRSF catless downpipe recently and the car sounds much better now, of course with the added benefit of some performance.

qJai · 10-31-2016, 10:15 PM

how was the resonator delete compared to stock or an MPE? and how much louder did the downpipe get? Im looking at exhaust options and i was thinking of a resonator delete but didnt want it to be too loud or sound raspy

The resonator delete did not have a much of an effect on the sound (maybe because the resonator itself is already very small) With the downpipe the over all sound of the exhaust got louder. I recently got a custom exhaust which lowered the tone the of the exhaust to be deeper.

Did you do it at GT Custom? i recent did mine but find it too loud for DD, gonna go back n make it quieter.

haha very similar! I haven't seen many GS around on this forum or even just locally on the road.

Luv2 · 11-29-2016, 03:33 PM

Nice looking car. Love those replica wheels.
Considering getting the lip spoiler for mine.

bykevin · 12-20-2016, 12:46 PM

Haven't updated this thread in a while so I thought I'd share whats been done to the car since last time. As noted above I got a custom exhaust done at GT customs in Pickering and shortly after that I put on a BMS intake. Most recently I decided to put a roof rack on main just for appearance not so much function just yet :P

Here are just some shots of the car in its first heavy snowfall.
