Scored an OE M Performance Diffuser for $250..😀 today

[lmach]

Not today but in the last few weeks I’ve done the following:

- replaced the rear half of the mid pipe with a custom 3” pipe. Essentially just a custom res delete. Already had a decat on the stock exhaust but this made it about 10-20% louder – definitely worth it.

- swapped my Meister M1s for a set of ADVAN GT Beyonds.

- swapped the H&R springs for some BC Racing DS-DA coilovers.

Next is adding a 7mm spacer to the front (making it 18x9.5 +15) and lowering it another 10mm in the front, 5mm in the back. Also going to dial the negative camber back from -3.1 F, -2.5 R to -2.5 F, -2 R.

Tested a bit yesterday with different centre caps, black with yellow logo, black with matte black logo but for now I like this one the most.

A bit Ferrari look a like but that yellow with black M logo on those black rims is far too nice to bother me about that.

Purchased these. $1709 on the black Friday sale, but still ouch. Good thing a got a great deal on some carbon mirror caps.

Correct, the Apex wheels are 18x9.5 et28 and 18x10.5 et40, so they sit roughly 5mm further out than the stock wheels without any spacers.

[vrooooom]

Should have gotten those sizes!

Don’t want to risk getting a ticket for not having one…money better spent on other mods? 😎

I agree. We have metermaids giving tickets for no front license plate.

I’ll never run a front license plate on my cars

And I will never park on the street…

Where’s that happening Dan?

Seattle is my guess…

Amen. But I also think that there can be a trickle-down effect to stopping people that are breaking the law in little ways. Not having a front plate is an excuse to pull people over, which allows them to identify/cite habitually unlawful people.

Of course, you can pretty much tell by what I'm driving and how clean it is that aesthetics, and driving enjoyment are more important to me than adhering to the law, but I don't mind getting pulled over if I don't get a ticket.

Getting pulled over for no front plate is not normal in Washington state

But in Seattle they are desperate to make a few dollars because they’ve killed the city for what it once was. It’s okay there are plenty of great places around Seattle that make up for the crappy city Seattle has become. And I don’t actually have to pack my pistol to go there...

Actually they can not pull you over for not having a front plate. It is a secondary offense in the state. If you are speeding, as an example, then they can give you a speeding ticket and a no front plate ticket.

A parked car is a different story. You can get both an expired tabs ticket or a no front plate ticket by a meter maid.
