Don't want to have any flashing, distracting, annoying lights on track. Any indications other than normal would be lost if I were constantly seeing a warning light from TPMS. Since I only look at gauges at particular spots on the track where I have a moment to take a breath and scan, I want any anomalies to be instantly and easily identified.

I'd just need a set of TP monitors and I'd be set.


Also thinking about getting a second bumper cover to run on the street and keep the one I have with the scratch on it for track days/long trips.
Finish line wheels sounds a little too good to be true..

just a quick search on google gave me a few results of forums with complaints

But if anyone tries them..let us know how it goes!

After reading the posts on Bimmerfest, I'd not worry a bit about ordering from them. It's a real OEM wheel and it's been fixed. I've had the wheels on my Supra fixed three times by a reputable shop and never had issues until I hit something nasty on the road again. The worry warts in that thread aren't people who have straightened wheels or had wheels straightened.

AFA BBB, I don't trust them at all. BBB is a joke. It's an asylum run by the inmates. I actually have LESS respect for BBB members because BBB is going to stand behind them no matter what if they're paying. Read all about it on ripoffreport.com.

I'm in the market, too. I have to say I did not know there were three finishes available at Finish Line, or from Lexus for that matter.

Chrome
High Polished
Dark Hyper Silver

Descriptions can be deceiving. Can someone confirm this or help me understand which finish is which?
