I don't want to spend too much money at this point on the car.i am still paying car loan, once I pay off the loan then I will start modding it, at this point I think I will go for painted splitters and Lux AE and HID fogs.

Having a hard time finding that in Canada though...
When I changed the rear of my car, it was like night and day. well I know of one good diffuser place in Canada....Duke Dynamics...not sure about the bumper itself though. I got mine from a vendor on the board...have you contacted them to check on shipping rates? My CSL trunk came greyhound and it wasn't expensive at all...not sure if you have something like that or not.

Makes sense, but usually when I am done paying for the car, I am tired of the car....haha

good idea to start, if you can go for the oem bmw carbon splitters as their fit & quality is unmatched..

I always appreciate my cars...I used to have weekend cars, but after a while I figured I wasn't enjoying them as much as I should be. Why pay all this money to just drive it on the weekends. So I decided to have nice cars and drive them because no matter how few miles I put on the car all I was doing was making a really nice car for the next owner.

However, I do appreciate having a weekend car...

Thanks
Haha, this is perfect. I have pictures of how your car will look exactly if you do all that. Space gray with white angel eyes, HID fogs, CF mirror covers, and CF front splitters. I also tinted my taillights slightly and have gotten a jillion complements. I never liked the rear of the car much until I did this. Also some pictures to see what it'd look like if you installed smoked overlays on the ugly orange reflectors, before and after.

and before anyone says "DROPPPP THAAAATTTT", I wish I could lol. I'm torturing this car by bringing her from Toronto to Saskatoon, if I dropped it I'd be shoveling snow and scraping my bumpers on potholes. Seriously, last year we had a pothole the size of a minivan...

and yes, in the second set of pictures there's only one mirror cover on haha. The other one fell off at the carwash, luckily found it intact. I'll be getting it professionally installed soon.

What's up montego blue friends! I think you should get the grill. Paint the lower grill finishing rods. Get painted reflectors and then add a nice trunk lip. Don't go crazy with the cheap cf add ons until you take care of the little stuff and then make it more aggressive with say Msport goodies. I would look into spacers for the stock wheels as well. Car looks super clean and love the color!

Rollthedice. Man. We are really close twins! You have just a few more cf bits to my painted bits. Looks good.

Hey bud...Thanks...so does yours. My new CF Duke Dynamics diffuser should be here soon. I will do a photo shoot after I get it installed. I don't have any good ones with my CSL trunk. You got anything new planned?
