yeah getting the same size, just maybe a different style is all. Defanitely painting them black again. Carlos's tips came out really good so I'm gonna use the same paint he did.


its tucked but sticks out like .5 - 1 inch further... it all depends on the tips you get. This is about the best pic I have of them at the moment.

I know this is going to sound ignorant, but it really isn't meant to be.....for a 328 that rear looks damn good

well mine was a test so we would flash/dyno/tweak about 7-8 times.... it was like 4 hours or so. If your engine takes to the tune Tony made for mine, you could be done within 45 min or so. He might want to start with mine and possibly tweak yours once or twice so... we'll see, I'd plan for a few hours but it could be done sooner. Downloading the tune into the ecu only takes about 5 min each time. Are you going to the shop they use in Plainfield?

I'm not sure yet. We just talked about getting it done when he got back in town asap. I don't care how long it takes, I was just curious. I wish I could get it done already.

hey mike.. you have to go to poi(points of interest) and select redlight and speed cams. once you click that you will see icons on the navi map to let you know where they are. if you cant find poi, you need to click on information on destination then click poi- the redlight and speed cams.
