If it were me I would not go crazy with the wing. Keep it clean. Smaller is better.

The Rims and Tires cost me 2400 installed with the stock TPMS sensors. The bodykit cost me 2300 not painted. The front bumper took me the longest to install. Especially because I had no help. The fit was around 80%. But the tollerences are easy to live with.

X-Sin, so how much are you paying for the prep/install/paint on the kit?

I paid about 600 for paint job for the entire kit. I installed the kit myself. This kit was in excellent condition and all but a minor pitting on the rear bumper had to be smoothed out.

Love it. Especially the rims. Agree with whoever said, try the MS wing rather than R Magic.

V v v quick photochop, you get the idea.

the kit looks awesome, but not feeling the rims and that 3rd brake decal seems kinda tacky. or actually very tacky but thats just my opinion. love the kit and happy for u.

I do have powered and heated mirrors currently on the 8. The AU-TO Bahn Sport mirrors are powered but not heated. I don't need the heated mirrors because I don't drive the 8 during icy conditions anyway.

But the Ganador and the Auto bahn are made for the J Spec cars, thus the "Image is closer" thing is on the wrong side... not sure how distorted this is. Maybe Mikeb or some one that has one of these can chime in.

From what I can tell, both images within the mirrors look identical. if I had to choose which one is amplified more I would say the right mirror shows a slightly larger image/reflection. Hard to tell?

Small, but look bad ***

If they only retained the heated mirror function, that would rock... or one of those turn signal light deals inside the mirror. I've yet to see Mike's car in ages now... gotta see the new toys.

very nice kit man...it is definitely high up there on my list of kits to get for my car. simple yet hardcore. one of the things i worry about is scrapin bc i live in a city full of hills. I can not tell from yout pictures, but does the front bottom lip stick out as much as the version on the JIC car?
