Wheels and new tires installed. Pictures show fitment with HKS lowering springs. Flush with the fender, exactly what I was looking for. I couldn't be happier with the results. I will also post a link with the TPMS that I used. It was pre-programmed so all I had to do was go to tire...
I know you went AEM, but this youtube video shows how Titan Motorsports installs their kit with bracket. Makes any DIY methanol install pretty easy. I used this kit, so that's how mine is installed.
There are a lot of tuners out there with experience on the BM3 platform, many of them comment frequently on the forum. Heres to name a few and I'm sure others will add to the list:
-F80 Paul (Paul Johnson)
-Jordan Tuned
-Counterspace Garage (Zach Tucker)
-Visconti Tuning
Remove the plastic panel between the bar and the headliner that curves around towards the back window. Then remove the panel that the seat belt goes through. Be careful as there is a fastener on the side after the slit for the seat belt and I know that could be the easy to break point. Then...
For me, the Verus did help with the wind buffeting, however, now I get a significant amount of wind noise when traveling greater than 70 mph (windows up). This must be the turbulence it creates to take care of the buffeting. Now when I cruise on the interstate there is a lot of this noise...
Yes - therefore sport mode 100% of the time...
Same here. I also reach 7th gear by 35 mph and get that sensation of the engine lugging. I am tuned on EcuTek. So now I really only put it in normal mode if I'm just cruising on the interstate otherwise nearly 100% sport mode.
No the bumper attached to the middle side of the headlight with some Velcro like material. If you look closely above on the inside of the red bumper you can see a black strip where the middle part of the headlight is, that’s Velcro.
One on each side just anterior to the reflector. These are the only two connections that need unplugged to remove the bumper. But as stated, a lot of bolts/screws, and some industrial strength velcro by the headlight.

This is for all their monoblock designs. I went with the EH 184. They also have modular designs as well. A lot to choose from with multiple color options. I chose matte black to match the rest of the car. This includes center cap.

During my discussion with BC forged, on my current set up (stock wheels/tires) with a 15mm spacer they said with a 35 offset the wheel would be about 1/2" more aggressive (pushed out). I like where I am currently at in terms of look/fitment so we compromised and put it at around 1/4" by doing a...
I'll drop the spacers, since this setup with HKS lowering springs should be about flush. The rear might be a little "in" from the fender, but that an be fixed with a small 3mm spacer if needed (per my discussion with BC Forged).
NV specialties is a complete replacement piece, FT speed has OLM Dry Carbon Fiber which is an overlay, and Titan Motorsports has REVEL Dry Carbon that I believe is also an overlay. I have pieces from NV specialities and FT Speed (OLM). All look great and have nice fitment.
I have these on the way for my supra which is Nocturnal Black with matte PPF complete wrap.
