Looks good, the only thing I do not like is the painted red rotor hats, I prefer them the greyish color they come factory.

I like it. Did you paint the wheels to match the car?

Thanks everyone for your thoughts! I am going to take the BSM off soon i think. Yes i painted the rims to match the car......i really like that "monochrome" look on cars. I should be getting the front "spats" to comeplete the "look" in about a month (backordered)

I am thinking of taking off my BSM's and this is the first time I have seen them off just on the front. This place always has great ideas that you sometimes dont think of... Thanks

I`ve never been a fan of painted or colored wheels. But those look real nice on your car. And I took off my bsm the same day I bought the car. It is pretty easy. The car looks great!

IMO I like the smooth line of no BSM so get some fishing line and work it back and forth and remove those babies.. Car looks great love the color. ps I took mine off
