@Torkmonster
I think the car looks better now then before, but it already did look great. You improved it a bit, but I would not have done it given the cost involved.
The lowering I would never do, unless I fitted somekind of airsuspension. We have so many ramps and speed control barriers I would break my
spoiler twice a week..

Thanks Dan-
Yeah, not only are modifications costly, but you rarely get anything back in resale.
I am used to driving lowered cars in Seattle so I know the "bad" ramps and entries we frequent, and avoid them. I am more concerned with bending (breaking) a wheel by hitting a pothole.
Air suspension would require a compressor in the trunk... can't afford to lose any more space in there!

I also couldn’t leave well enough alone. Lowered on VAP springs w. ForgestarF14s I bought off a former member here. Some of you guys’ wheels choices are straight killin it though. I really like those VS-Forged VS03s and the Klassens on r_matt_6s R.

@WJV Wheels are impressive. Not as extreme as some models.

I think its the colour of the wheels matching the colour of the car, just a shade off. Like the French say ".. ton-sur-ton..".

@WJV For some reason I can not modify the post above. First I could only see the first pic, when I wrote my comment, and some lines of thext below it that now materialised as images..
The other pics enhance the "tech" impression of the grey colour of the body with the new wheels.

We had again a bit of snow today. My son said its an even more "COOL CAT" now...

Finally got too scared driving around on the summers and swapped on a set of Nokian Hakka R2 winters -- went for 245 45 R19 squared setup on the staggered wheels -- wanted a little thinner tire to penetrate snow/ice and a bit of a taller sidewall because Boston's winter roads are completely f****d. Don't drive the car much in the winter but at least now I won't get stuck in 1/2" deep parking slush like I did last week.

Figured I was the last one to take off my Blueberry Blast sticker, way back in Nov, before putting the car in storage. Well done!

Sadly, according to my logs I've driven only 831 miles since the Blueberry Blast! While it is my daily driver, it isn't exactly daily driven hahah
