Good luck with yours! Can't wait to see the pics!!
Can you elaborate on the springs? I was thinking of lowering mine, but haven't done any research yet.

I'll for sure do Dinan intake+tune and probably exhaust too, depending on how I like the stock sound once I get mine.

I googled and just did some searches on this board. Some really good info about it. Lots more wear and tear on the joints and whatnot if you change springs. Not a single post suggests anything positive about it.

As you can see, I went black on black with the B&O system and night vision. Also went with the 20's, which I regret as there are plenty of options for the 21" rims for winter driving. My trunk came with a spare tire versus the finished extra cargo space. I am currently averaging 9.9mpg.[IMG][/IMG]
Nice setup! If you can send me a link where i can get the m projection lights would highly appreciate it!
