Here's a thread I posted awhile ago talking about the install and providing a clip.

Mine is simple—carbon fiber air inlets. These should have been on the car as standard in my opinion. I'm not a fan of the honeycomb mesh that looks out of place.

Supposedly they dust a bit more than the 1500s (which I have), but still much less than the OEM pads.

With everyone who added spacers and lowering springs, how did the ride quality change?

Stiffer by roughly 20%.

Cool. Is the stiffer ride worth it?

Depends who you ask. It’s always worth it to me.

No noticeable difference on Eibach front springs. Other brands may have different outcomes. There is a ton of discussion about this in the suspension forum, so check there.

PPF, hands down for me--overall.

Best-looking? Tony's rear bbk.

What's the approximate cost for full or front PPF for the G80 these days?

Probably 1500-2200, depending on what brand material they use and the place you go.

Full front, most places will do: the whole hood, front quarters, front bumper and its inclusions (grille/lip), and mirrors.

You can add on from there. I'm sure, If you wanted, you probably could get only half the hood done and save on some materials. Though, it wouldn't be much of a savings.

Whole car is around 5k. Cry once and just do it all. I got a chip on my drivers door the week before I dropped it off

I bought a package deal with full ceramic (including wheels) and tint (including windshield) and full stealth PPF for $7K.

Not exactly what he's looking to do.


I've seen full front PPF quoted around $1600-$2500. Lots of variables including which part of the country you're located.

[Bgrayjb4g82]

JB4, running map2 currently.
EBC yellow stuff front and rear (install in 2 weeks, goodbye annoying squeals).
Cheap oil cooler/skid plate (Rev9 I think).

[EMMM]

Ceramic Pros 9H on all exterior surfaces + door jams

[MaC-N54-E82]

ISweeps get the best 1st mod award for this guy. These made a HUGE difference in dust generation and are a must for the OCD crowd which includes me.

PSI Midpipe for the noise. The G8X with the EU regulations really muted the S58 IMHO. The secondary cat delete really wakes it up and makes it sound as fast as it is!

The M Performance Carbon Fiber Flow Through wing is #2. I've never had so many compliments on any of my cars in my life. Random people give me compliments, not even at car meets. Just people at the gas station, grocery store parking lot etc. I think a lot of it has to do with the wing. Not many people have optioned it, so I think it's very distinctive. I love it:

Thanks! Just the gloss black auto I’d most style. Adding a new lip this week hopefully that’s more aggresive!

Where did you get your akra stuff from? I'm in the southeast anyone you'd recommend for install?
