Keep in mind the install isn't cheap and you want a shop that can handle it. The MPG drop is minimum...gas mileage really!!??

To be honest I don't believe the 6hp gain. I believe its marketing hype to get people to spring the extra $1600 active exhaust.

Forget the 3.73's if you are going to do it go for the 4.09s. You are going to need a tuning device ala ProCal to do the gears. The jump from 3.55 to 3.73s isn't that much. As someone who had an S550 GT with PP and it came with the 3.73s, the 4.09 gears was the best mod I did for the car.

Hence the 35 aspect ratio...

I had a set of the X500 wheels from SVE on the car for 4 yrs, no issues.

You should have run 35 aspect front and rear. What you are running now is now over 1" shorter than OEM. It looks like your car is a Performance Pack car with 255/40/19 and 275/40/19, the respective diameter for the OEM was 27.2" front and 27.7" rear. You are now at 25.5" front and 26.2"...

The manufacturer I use has all the NHTSA and other certificates. They make wheels for other manufacturers that are based in the States but at a third of the price.

A guy I know who has a G80 M3 got a set and they were very nice. They balanced well, fit and finish and it was a forged wheel. Im not getting rid of my OEM wheels just in case.

Most wheels from other manufacturers are made by the same Alibaba suppliers. I think you were smart. I ordered a set for my M2 the BMW 827M wheel, all forged custom offsets, colors for under $1500 what would have cost over $4500. I will chime in here as well let you know how it goes, not for...

Thats already out

Good choice!!

The tune was supposed to be for the DH And the GT.

The car or the wife?!! LOL. They may be able to repair the front fascia and do a respray. One thing, even with factory paint you may start to see a difference after awhile as paint that is sprayed on plastic is a different outcome on metal. Not to mention they have to use a flex agent as...

I haven't heard anything yet.

If my wife did this to my Mustang or M2 we would need serious marriage counseling. :D Seriously, paint shops have gotten so good at matching paint. That is not a serious repair. I'm not saying it will be cheap but its a non issue really.
