I Don't Post A lot of Pics, But......

......I caught it in a great angle and couldn't resist.

Yes I know it needs some things but I just picked it up in October and put a whopping 130 miles on it since (38k total). I need to get rid of the reflectors and front plate. It also needs a tint and Lux AE's. Also needs to be a little lower. Work in progress....

Looks amazing!

You'll love the Lux.

And my .02 on the wheels is to leave them black. I normally can't stand black wheels because it's too much contrast on white, or too little on black. I prefer gunmetal for this reason. But in order to keep the contrast gunmetal isn't what I would do on space gray.

Try some photoshops first! But I say leave em black! Or it'll lose some of that sinister look.

Very clean. Do you have a sample of the exact color you're going to do your wheels in? I went with gloss anthracite on mine.

I grew up in central Ohio, and BTW, I know you already put the front plate frame on, but Ohio LE doesn't crack down on front plates.

When I moved to CA, I got a front plate ticket my first week here

No closeups that do them justice, but check my garage out and there are some different shots in different lighting.

Front plate bracket was on the car when I bought it

I don't have a front plate on my S4 and I haven't been pulled over (yet)..knock on wood.

I have a body shop that will remove and fill the holes....actually going to see if he can remove and fill the reflector holes too.

Let me know if you're interested in seeing the grey on the ZCP wheels. I'm in Columbus and had mine done in BMW's Ferric Grey at the end of last year.
