Best color...in my opinion. How's the power increase over that "3"?

Let the modding begin!

The increase over the 3 is absolutely crazy! The 3 only dyno'd at around 108 whp and 148 bhp. You do the math lol

Agh! Tint those windows already! And judging by your previous ride, I see heavy tinting in your future.

Welcome to the club btw

That's a pic on the day I got the car. I actually tinted them yesterday. 20% all around. My last car had 17% all around.

Welcome, I just bought a 350 and joined as well. Are those wheels part of a sports package? Very nice...good luck with the mods.
