New Small Mods

Summer is finally here so I ordered some H&R springs should be on by the end of next week and also thinking of painting the brakes

Need some help which color do you guys think would look good on it.Was thinking of the same color of the car but I don't know if it will look right

Nice looking X5.. can't go wrong with Red.. I am going with Yellow since it might look a bit better with my ivory/white interior.

What rims are those btw they look good.. I am getting something similar.

I think red or maybe even green. Don't think matching the car color will look right. I guess it depends on how noticeable you want it.

Thank you,these are Niche targa. I bought them as a summer set just till I can save up enough to get others but they are really nice

I would go black or silver and leave the Red and yellow colors for Big brake kits.

I'd say fender flares plus some wider rear tires!

Beautiful color, not sure if summer is here yet (20 degrees this morning and half a foot of snow on backyard) but for your color I would paint calipers black.
Don't forget to put pictures when done.

It's Platinum Bronze Metallic

Car looks great, really like the wheels. Although i agree with the vibrant colors for the big brake kits I still like the stock brakes to show on the car. I do like red but feel like it's been over done. Really a personal thing but depending on that a yellow for a brighter color or a black for dark would both look really nice in my opinion. Good luck with whatever you end up going with.

Agreed 110%.

Accentuating the stock brakes is not a good plan, so silver or black is best in your case.

Agree. Painting stock brakes the color of a BBK is poser IMO. Especially on such an otherwise beautiful ride.

Just got the update from ups that the springs arrived. I'll try to see if I can put them on this week but it's not looking good since Friday no one works.
Also anyone know a good shop in Boston that would do it for a fair price?

I got mine done at Turner Motorsport in Amesbery last April, I'm not sure where in Boston you are but if you in North Shore area you might want to check them out. They great, time, price etc., they also dealers of H&R so it's easy to get parts from them directly.
Where did you get your body kit painted? I'm looking for body shop right now to paint my body kit and eyelids.

It's a friend who's like part of the family and he does all my body work so I do get the hock up big time

Finally put the springs on yesterday.I went with the 1.2" drop front/rear.
When do you guys think I should get an alignment?

P.S.-The brakes will be done this week or next week also will take better pictures when the weather gets better here

[Cattivo]
