Well, color for one thing. don't think improvement, just change. I have S2s, but I'd like something in GM or charcoal.

Another vote for the HREs here; especially like the gunmetal color.

It really seems like a toss up between the two. I guess we have the best of both, classic and modern look. I really like the s2's. The hre really give a new look to the car and hopefully a performance advantage due to its lightness. Thanks for the positive comments. Hopefully others can also give their opinion and suggestions tomfurther improve the look.

Well i saw a few stone chips there from im guessing the rear wheels so i covered them up with black vinyl sticker, like stone guards. Had them there long before i put the wheels. Looking at them they seem to blend with the wheels.

I was a bit concerned that i would need to lower the car after the new hres but it seems to fit just fine. I guess this somehow confirms that the row pasm suspension is lower than the us version.

I had a clear bra installed on the lower portion of the rear bumper for the same reason. It's invisible and has held up well, maybe something to consider if you ever tire of the black.

HRE's in GM look great with White. That's my choice. Oh, and I also think the dude in Suite 207 is parked way too close to the wall. Please tell him.

On second thought, the HREs are terrible, and you should sell them to me at a deeply discounted rate.

I would change a few things on the car if I had it, first would be to go with a much lighter tint so you can see through the windows but still get the UV protection. I would also add carbon fiber mirrors to go with the gunmetal wheels.
This. Do this. HREs look very good.

HREs look great in gunmetal on white. Roll with the HREs.
