19 M40i Phytonic Blue <3
Wifey and I bought a beautiful M40i in Phytonic blue metallic paint. I did a few things here and there.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3291...23a6649bv4yXR9 There's a thread on these covers here: https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1551038 Quote:
She's fully aware The wife owned a lower car with carbon fiber all around the body. She's well prepared. The stock wheels sit too far in for my liking. These 15mm spacers brings the wheels ALMOST flush to the body. Overall has a better stance. IND sells these. They are made by Future Classics. Top quality kit, no issues.

I agree! The stock ones are okay (IMO) and even with them being ceramic coated, they were still a pain in the ass to keep spot free.

Beautiful car! Phytonic was my first choice, wife overruled with carbon black, both are great tho.
Question about your coding: Does the Bang and Olufsen profile make a difference in sound? Worthwhile in your opinion? Thanks! |

Here's my personal opinion on the band and olufsen coding. It's suppose to be better but you need to mess with the EQ settings and if you're not knowledgeable in EQ settings, it can become frustrating to get the right settings for all types of music. I've messed around with the settings based on what others have and just tweaked them to my own liking. I may end up getting it coded back to the H.K setup. It's too soon to tell.

Wifey and I went out for a photoshoot today. Took out my 2004 A-spec TL which is 6MT and supercharged. Wifey ordered a fake carbon fiber M shift cover. I think it looks okay. Fits great, didn't pull the double sided tape.

Those hood and trunk emblems look pretty clean too! Which ones are they and where did you get them?

[url=https://flic.kr/p/2iHkhAT] Thank you! These are recent photos with the SLR. I owned the Acura since 2007. [url=https://flic.kr/p/2ixkzWQ] [url=https://flic.kr/p/2ixkAcK] I bought them from IND-Distribution They have two versions of these emblems. The newest design is with carbon fibers on them.

iwhineX3 Hard to tell from the pictures, which size(s) spacers did you go with, front and back? Looking up those product numbers, looks like 15mm? About to pull the trigger on some myself, but not as many examples on here of folks using them with the 19" wheels.
