I used a dremel to cut the emblem out, then used filler to smooth out the area and then re-paint the entire section. Little time consuming, but well worth it. I also didn't like the CF units out there, and couldn't find any that weren't CF, so had no choice.

Wow, how I'd like my PB set up, and I want those wheels too, but can't get a clear yes/no on spacers with GTWORX springs, or what camber is needed and the spacers for the front.

Thanks. I painted the headlight housings black, no tint on them. You gotta bake them the headlights, take them apart, paint them, and then re seal. There's a "how-to" on here that gives you step by step instructions.

I had the same issue trying to get a definitive answer as to weather or not spacers were needed, some said yes and others said no. The front definitely needs the spacer, I could have gotten away with a 10mm spacer instead of the 15mm that I used. Clearance for the rear is not an issue.
