that lip is Hamman. CF replicas are like $280 (i know it's an old post) here's my before pictures as the car sits @ the body shop. Got rear ended on the way to work by an 07 camry hybrid.   Because i'm a jew, I plan on coming out ahead after all is said and done. This is in the mail:    I'm well aware I need coilovers and wheels, those are next. bilstein PSS9s and 19x8.5/10 BBS LM knockoffs. Somthing like this is the end goal:  still debating side skirts....right now I don't like them much, at all, and it seems these are the only "decent" ones available:  |

nice, you should also be able to find a Msport exhaust for cheap or hell even an M5 exhaust, they sound good.

coilovers? seems to kind of defeat the purpose. maybe just a really nice spring/shock combo? sounds old man style, but... dunno.

Most the European coilovers don't ride like shit like the Japanese ones. |

Everything i've read about the PSS9s on M5s and 540s claim to provide a really nice, near-stock ride quality and they're supposedly "real" adjustable dampers. The reviews i tend to believe are from 40-year-old men with bad backs, families, and enough money to buy a daily if their M5 wasn't comfortable enough. From what i've seen, they somewhat do what the little turny knobs are supposed to do...giving me adjustability. I do plan on doing a couple lapping days in the boat. |

The KW V3s use a progressive spring, though. Not sure I'm down with that. |

I dunno, it kinda makes sense, if you are actually using properly designed springs. I still don't want to do it, too much variable for me. But he makes a compelling argument, until I get bored and stop listening. |
