A couple of loose ends, I am waiting for the world to get back to some normalcy so I can test fit some spacers. Also, I want to research options for lowering a vehicle with the dynamic handling package. If anyone has had any experience here, I’m wide open to suggestions. I may also find a gloss black diffuser or paint the stock part.
Final notes. I not a fan of the Cerium Grey on the Silver, that is one of the reasons for all the body parts. The other is I like the black look. Although I’ve never done this before, I replaced all the pieces on my own in my garage. I had plenty of time to research as the vehicle was getting built. The hardest part was the side reflectors and the front bumper trim.
I’ve been in the tire business my whole life and purposely ordered this vehicle with the stock 19” performance set up and a spare tire. The reason for the performance tires was to get 840 included in the build, which increased the top speed limiter. The spare tire was for ride purposes, and I wanted to get away from the run-flats. Sorry for the lengthy rambling….. Bottom line, I'm H A P P Y!!!
