LOL. that's not what I meant to write, stupid iphone. original question was 'how's the airdam? are you having any issues with driveway clearance at that ride height? mine's stock and i'm paranoid about scraping it.'

Every single one of my M card had always had KW's and they have all been pretty lower and lower than the 1M. I'm just very caution with going in and out of driveways. I'll be getting a SLeK lip installed next week so I hope it won't be too low to the ground.

Honestly, I would hold off on the lip until you drive the car around town and see if you are getting too close to the ground. You can always add a lip.

But IMHO, a lip would take away from this car. It's perfect the way it is. Not to mention you will probably scrape the lip and that would suck. None of the lips out there flow with the car. They look like a cheap add on. I don't mean to offend anybody but that's just the way I see it. BMW designed this beautiful front bumper and it's really a shame to add a piece that takes away from the look of the car. For a car like this, less is more.

Lowered correctly without the lip is perfect. Have you already blacked out the kidney and side gills?? And also have you done the clear bra yet?

I will do wheels (Probably the BBS rs id's), AC Schnitzer exhaust and diffuser, KWv3s and the Tech tech tune for 450hp. I might paint the engine cover in AW and get the Euro headlights. But I think that's it.

I was thinking about the Alcantara steering wheel but everyone I've seen is worn after a short while so I will probably stick with what I have.

I don't know how I feel about the ACS exhaust,the diffuser is alright not worth the $2750 IMO. The tune I will also be doing one my Akrapovic exhaust arrives,but I will be doing the ESS tune.

Actually the AC exhuast looks really goon on the car and makes the rear end of the car look wider which really helps. The sound is nicer than the Akrapovis I think.

biglare · 12-06-2011, 12:50 AM

Love the wheels, but need some other contrasting color IMO!

You really think the ACS sound better than the Akrapovic? Haven't heard that before.

How do you like the GT-R compared to your 1M?
