The Bilsteins are fine as long as you don't go too low. Currently I am only around 10-15mm below stock due to my driveway issues. FWIW I scrape very little now, which may also have to do with the stiffer spring rates.

Wow unique and BEAUTIFUL! With perfect matching of interior/exterior colors. Very creative.
Also, as founder and self appointed President of HRE P40 fan club , congrats on the beautiful wheel. I told the guys at HRE this design will go down as one of their most popular wheel ever.

I would vote for the addition of a Techart I lip; think your car would be even more drop dead gorgeous with it. "eclou" who is in your area (?) has it on his Turbo (and caused me to "waste" money LOL buying mine -- I LOVE looking at it).

I am not sure what color lip I will have to get as my paint job is hard to match... maybe black...
Your car is beautiful
Merry Christmas You All...

If you are going to get the Techart lip, my vote is: Most definitely paint it body color. It is a bigger "structure" than the stock lip and made to look like it's part of the overall design "flow" of the car, so would stand out too much in black, especially on a light color car. Like you, I left the stock lip of my red car unpainted in black, but when I switched to Techart, I had no choice but to paint it body color.
I would think a good paint shop could match any color, no?

Be careful of that eclou; you'll be spending $$$. Just kidding. eclou is an excellent source of information and many of my car's mods are modeled after his.
