As for the wheels, they are still gold for now, but once i take them off for the winter, they will be going in to get refinished, haven't decided on what color I want to do tho. Quote:
What I mean by the GPS speed is that it reacts a little slow and is not very accurate. For example in some of the videos of my race, under acceleration the dashcam gps speed can't keep up with the actual acceleration speed. Also after trapping and hitting the brakes, the speed doesn't show exactly how fast I went. If you are cursing around on a highway at a consistent speed, it is probably ok, but not in dynamic or rapid speed changes. |

So other than lag in rapid acceleration, you're happy with the Blackvue? I just want something that's front and rear, has motion sensing that works well in case anyone is around the vehicle and then I'd get their battery backup like you did. Do you happen to have a thread of it's installation?

The hardest part actually, was getting the cable fished through the upper trunk lid after getting the panel off, and then into and through the rubber housing where other wiring is run. |

Been super lazy, still haven't made any updates to the car yet recently, but was in Vancouver visiting some family and stopped by SR Auto and PUR wheels, so neutrally they did a slight photo shoot of my car
These are some of the last shots of the PUR in the current Monaco Gold finish, once winter comes, these will be refinished into something new for the next summer |

Thanks, I have been thinking about getting a lip as well, but with where I live, the winter is so bad that having a lip really doesn't make any sense as it will just act as a snow plow and get pitted with rock chips
thanks |

I'd love to see how you both mounted the cameras AND where they enter into the headliner, trunk panels, etc before I start feeding wires. |

Can you give me some info on your wheels? Cost etc. Love them and I think 22 is the good size for summer. If I get an aftermarket set now I can always by winters for the oem rims. Although that would waste the brand new tires I have on now...
Anyway all your pics on the first page don't work. I'd like to do some light cosmetic mods like carbon fibre etc did you do any of that stuff? I'd like to do the dash cams too..did you install yourself or a place you recommend? How much did it cost etc? Feel free to PM brother. |

http://www.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1230457 I know, the stupid hyper links keeps getting altered, so they aren't showing up right, i will update once i have some free time. I don't have any carbon stuff, the way it show in the PUR pictures is the way it currently sits. I have a lot of color matching mods such as all the side markers, the fender turn signal piece, and a matte black wrap diffuser. Yes i did do the dashcam myself, but if u want someone good with car electronics in YYC, mobile solutions are amazing. I have the blackvue, so price is just whatever is current on blackboxmycar. |

Thanks I'll look into the rims. I am trying to figure out my summer/winter setup and have brand new tires right now so don't want to waste them.
Do you have pics of the diffuser wrap? I'd like to see how that looks and consider something similar for myself. Where did you get that wrapped from? For the camera, if I purchase them online do you think you'd be able to help me out with the install? I would of course be happy to compensate you with $, beer etc haha. I have heard of mobile solutions but have heard that they are super expensive so don't want to pay an arm and a leg. |

thanks, for reference, I went head to head against the brand new Shelby GT350 in a half mile, we crosses the line dead even, I would always have the first 1/4 and a bit, but once past 110mph, the wind resistance on these cars are fairly significant

Hey where did you get the H&R springs installed from? How much was it?
How is the ride quality with them? Is there a specific setting they should be set on to have a good ride quality? |

I did it myself with a friend, but normally shop charge around 5-8 hrs. Ride quality is decent as long as you set the rear higher than the front
