Wow! Looks Good! I'm typically not a fan of Vossen just because they are usually pretty heavy, but being that you have all that power, I guess it doesn't matter one bit...lol.

Your F looks amazing great job. Look like stock ride height have you done any suspension work? Any other plans for the car at this point.

I like the setup. A little stiffer than stock 2011. Could be because I am on 20". Good control, decent turn in and nice damping on bumps.

Default Apexi throttle controller?

Nice 👍 . Just heads up but my opinion is to get the apexi throttle controller Day and night difference . If you haven't installed one yet . You will know a major difference

Dude, I just noticed you're sans sunroof... nice!!!!

I'd wager you also have an aftermarket exhaust. If so, which one?
