Looking good! I like it. Since you're looking for black trims why don't you black out the window trim too.I really like the "totally" black out look. Let me know if you find any good black trims.
Hameed, thanks for the compliments. These are the regular 540's, chrome faces, polished lip. If I was to buy a new set I would go for the 540R's, the R versions have a deeper lip. The 540's have a stepped lip, which makes them appear not quite as deep as the R, which sports a flat lip, larger appearance. Any HRE you go with you cant go wrong, they are amongst the best out there.

TT,
I have my black tape on my window trim for almost 3 years now and it's holding up very good. You can always remove it if you want to get the chrome trim back.
BTW, do you have to remove the engine under cover to fit the VS front bumper? I noticed that you do not have the under cover.

JacobT, The engine under cover is still on the car, it just doesnt extend all the way out to meet up with the VS front. There is a gap between the cover and the bumper, probably about 3", it looks bigger on one of those pics with the light shining through. The under cover is still secure, it doesnt move around or anything.

Gotta save up for them though - I am sure they cost a pretty penny! If you don't mind my asking, how much did the wheels cost you? Also, what is the size of the lip front and back? From the pics, it is hard to tell the lip size on the rears....

There's no doubt that those 20" 540's are GREAT looking - GS4fun had two GS4's with them (sadly losing both of them) and others have them as well. But the nice thing with HRE's is there's still plenty of ways to "have it your way" - order the rims with a particular center finish, center cap, etc.
As far as lips, my 19's have 2 1/2" at back and 1 1/2" at front. Not giant, but then I didn't want huge ones especially in the back because they make the rims look smaller if they're huge. But the lips are super shiny on mine which I think offsets (no pun) the brushed/clearcoated centers. Depends on how much 'bling bling' you want.

You mean..what happened to it! The blue one was stolen about a week after i had demodded the red one to sell. Once the blue one disappeared....i had nothing to do but keep the red one. I got the insurance money for most of the car..but its not the same, rebuilding takes time and a passion which i lost with the car itself. I have urges here and there however.

All i can say TTpimp is nice @#$ ride. Very clean looking with the HRE's. I almost went with those wheels just could not wait 6 weeks for them. They look even better on black (IMHO)

Thanks jcramair1, all I need now is a Porsche like yours and I will be set! That is one sweet car, always has been on the top of "my must own one day" list.
By the way, hows that Supercharger working out for you? ANy issues, etc.? Would you recommend it to others? I have been looking at it for awhile now, just havent pushed myself over the edge yet. I dont want to end up with problems like I have read about some of these guys with the TT set up.

TT PImp,
I havn't had any issues with the Charger that's one reason why I went this way rather than the TT way, also the price was another factor, I wasn't going to pay 30k for the TT setup for the Lex becuase I will sometime within the next 2 months be getting a Porsche TT. How were the fitments on your Executive kit? Did everything align properly?
Also I noticed that you have the Tein Flex which is what I am putting in my GS next week how do you like them and would you recommend them? I am looking forward to taking out my conservative L-Tuned suspension.
