I have the F shift **** but with blue stitches. Wish there was one with red, that matches much better with the red interior.

I like it, but I'd never do it to mine. BTW, your car is sitting RIGHT! But you don't mention any lowering? Hmmmm....

Could you give more details on what you used to lower it? I like the stance and stock wheels. It's understated. And how does it ride on the new suspension?

I feel like the mid pipe isn't as loud... what is the best exhaust to get? I heard a GS350 in Fort Lauderdale last weekend and it sounded SO GOOD. Almost ferrari type

What is your experience with cleaning it? I have a ES thats dipped and its really difficult to keep clean sometimes. I had some stuff get on the dip and I hadn't washed it in about a month due to a injury. I tried to remove the stuff and it got baked into my silver dip, I tried removing it and it changed the look of the dip, I'm going to have to try to use some xylene to change the look of the areas.

If you want the best sounding exhaust it would probably be a meisterschaft GTC with headers and midpipe. Its gonna be some $$$ though, not sure what exhaust you heard.
I dont think that one has headers.

Listen to it on the RC-F, rediculous.
My buddy has the meisterschaft on his e60 m5 sounds so brutal.

That is why I got a dark color due to this issue. I plan on taking the dip off in June/July and going towards pro line for Nardo Grey.

Nice! I might do proline on the ES again. I would love to autoflex but I don't have the sprayer setup or garage to do it. Considered having it professionally done.
