Receiving M3P- by end of Sept. Been driving around to shops to get educated on pricing and options, but I've never done anything aside from wheels, tint, and stereo back in the day, so...
Please shoot me recommendations on any of the below, and thanks in advance!
Wheels - Did not do P+ as I don't like the 20" wheel's look, and sidewall height scares me (ding). Planning on ordering 19" Niche's with Pilot S4s from SD Tire and Wheel. $2100 + tax. Lifetime balance, etc.
- I need to offload the 18" Aero's. I see them for sale on Craigslist and Bay....range is from $750 to $1200. Wonder what people actually get, and if there is a better option?
- Do I have them remove the TPMS from factory wheels and put on my Niche's, or order new, and leave the original on the Aeros?
Caliper Paint - Pricing has ranged from $650 (Ceramic Pro) to $900 (SD Wrap...if you can get them to respond to you, do not recommend) or Resurrect up in Tustin I heard does them for $400.
- Any SD recommendation for this that doesn't take them apart?
Tint - I've always just done IR tint, never ceramic due to cost. Unsure if it's worth it, as I'll only have car 3 or 4 years. Prob just going to do the sides since top is already factory tinted.
Suspension - Looks like Unplugged has the best springs? Deciding from .9" drop or 1.5" drop. Kinda have a steep transition from the street to my driveway...makes me nervous. 100D is fine however.
- Any SD recommendations on whom to go to for install?
Chrome Delete - Getting a ton of mixed reviews on this. I'm not going to spend $1k. Would like to find a shop that can do it, quality, for like $600.
Spoiler - Want one that's satin black to match the wheels, but looks like most come in carbon fiber. I won't have any other carbon fiber unless I ignore the chrome delete and just get the carbon fiber door handles...so that's an option.
- Maybe wrap spoiler in satin black?
- Any San Diego referrals for this work?
