Must-Have cosmetics?

Which are must have? I know there is a cheap mod, but which are must have that can range from any price.

I currently am buying a diffuser, and front lip. Also Wrapping my hood in carbon or black.

What else should I do? So far, I got the carbon M mirrors, Stripes for grill, Blach Chrome Emblem for the trunk, and came stock will all black grills and such. Lastly, got the M performance coil overs, looking for other cosmetics though.

It looks like you have most things covered. CF Rear spoiler is a must...and, if you keep the stock exhaust you'll need a set of tips to replace the chrome oem. I have the flat black tips from Active Autowerke.

I'm selling a brand new set of front MP Carbon Fiber winglets for less than retail if you're interested.

You're forgetting the interior...CF ebrake, CF Shifter and alcantara boot (assume you have 6MT), red button, AWRON...better seats? Depends how much $$ you want to burn.

I agree. I got the M Performance interior kit. I love it and it got rid of a bunch of chrome.

The carbon fiber trim for the steering wheel is also nice.

Could you guys link me the full kit, don't play on doing the seats, and I'd get the blue button for startup.

Agree. I also had the inner steering wheel trim colour matched to the exterior of the car...I like it but it's not for everyone.

@ OP...IND Distribution has all the parts you need. Hit up their website and select F87...and bring your wallet!!

You need to tell us if you have 6 speed or DCT for interior kit. Then we can give you a link.

The dry CF steering wheel insert really ties the whole interior together right in front of the driver.

It really does. Bit of a stressful mod but well worth it.

I’m having a hard time adjusting to the thoughts of the CF steering wheel trim. I just don’t like the look with the chrome insert. If you could replace the chrome with dry carbon, I would be all over it.

The CF trim doesn't add any chrome? If you mean the gray plastic that is there on the stock wheel, you can replace the gray plastic with something else if you want, there is a non OEM part to replace that.

Yes, the grey plastic. I would like that to be dry carbon.

I think you can get black or gloss carbon for that. Even if you don't do the dry carbon insert, you're still going to have the grey plastic.
