JCW sports alcantara/leather steering wheel. It is an actual steering wheel and not a cover thick/different shape.

In the photo it looks smaller than the stock steering wheel. Is it or is it just an illusion?

BTW, looks good.

I believe they are the same "holies". I wouldn't mind having another set to put the stock tires back on, and even better if they were white.

Looks great! I want to do that to my fenders due to accident and mismatched paint. What route did you use to get yours done in black? I'm thinking vinyl.

You should do the beltline next. Makes it look so much better. You'd love it

Thanks yeah its the old Lorton Max Sec. prison in well... Lorton .


I got a reckless over TG weekend in prince william for 75/55 on the bypass of 234 which i was lost on and was in a pack of cars, I didnt see the speed sign and its a bypass(non populated 2 lane road) but oh well. VA thrives of ticket citations so ill just have to lawyer up and go to court which is annoying but soon i will leave this wreched state. Commonwealth laws are ridiculous and IMO are designed to weed out the low income populations as fines/punishments are a lot harsher than normal states.


PS FFX county police write tickets for not saying excuse me when you sneeze lol just lame that to give a ticket they are quick but to find stolen property or help broken down folks on the side of the road they are no where to be found. I have seen a statey drive right past a family who was broken down on 495 casually.

The fake air duct things in the rear bumper look way better than the fog lights.

The open lower grille is growing on me too... I hated it at first

i dont want to even get started on how unhelpful they are, me and my friend broke down in his truck on 66 and literally 20 feet up the road a cop had someone pulled over and i waited till the car pulled away to ask the cop for help and when i get to his window he refuses to open the window to talk to me and then proceeds to yell at me to get back to my car. and tells me that its illegal to walk up to a police car thats pulled over. point of the story. He didnt help us.


And try and get as many people as you can to sign this petition

Just buy a pre-brake duct JCW lower grille. I think they're like $50.

Nice looking shots! Have to ask, did you paint or vinyl wrap the gray "MINI" inserts on your racks? It was one of the first things I did after I installed mine. Now I'm just waiting for my next roll of 3M carbon vinyl to arrive so I can wrap the cross bars.

I just thought it would look better than seeing all that ugly crap on the sides of the FMIC. But, TETO

Im not sure but since it is a "factory" fit they should be ok, im sure if you call helix or post a thread on here there are people with the helix IC that have kept the brake ducts
