Modified X3

Just some recent shots of the ride. I've done quite a bit of work to her over the years.

Thanks. No times yet, waiting for the weather to cool down a bit to take her to the track. It is just stupid hot and humid here now.

Door sills I bought off a ebay a couple years ago. They have a pretty big variety to choose from.

Lip really helps pull the stance together on a non m sport. Looks good.

OP, you should try to incorporate F12 LED fogs in the front bazels. Like so-

Hi,

It's just a decal kit they sell on ebay that covers the blue triangles with a carbon look decal.

How did the braking change? Does it feel unbalanced now increasing the front by so much without touching the rear?

Nice looking X!

Thanks. There is more front bias now in a good way. These cars are set-up from the factory with rear bias. It's a night and day difference at speed, it feels way more solid and just brakes like a freight train. At no point does it feel unbalanced.

Sorry for the late reply for some reason I am not getting notifications on some threads.

Specs as follows:

20x9.5 front 35 offset
20x11 rear 40 offset
Tires were x5 sport size 275F and 315 rear

Wheels are made by TSW I bought them second hand but new unmounted and they had no center caps which is why the OZ caps.

They are for sale but locally only.
