These are almost the identical mods I'm in the process of doing...black chrome trim arrives from IND next week, along with the same carbon lip. Spacers go on Monday. Your car looks amazing.

Two questions:
1. Can you take a photo that shows how flush the wheels now sit with the fenders?
2. What did you do to your exhaust tips? I want to get rid of the chrome.

Thanks. Looked like your exhaust tips were darker, must be the lighting. Think I'm going to powder coat them.

You should always measure from the lowest center point of the rim to the fender. This will negate tire cold/warm tire pressures as well as tire wear etc.

I prefer overall hight since I'm comparing same wheel/tires

If you're considering the Bootmod3 tune, I highly recommend it. I installed mine on Saturday, it really wakes up the S63 (which is already amazing as you know).

Why do you care just about the height and not the wheel gap? And that height won't be consistent based on tire wear, inflation, cold vs warm etc. the more realistic number is what I mentioned.

That's all I meant. But ya sure.
