I will have some next week

I plan to do the 3 stage IM, as well as a tune. I'd like to get an intake as well, they are all on the list of parts I want lol.

So as stupid as this may sound, I actually wanted to sell the car a few weeks ago. I sold most of my parts that I had bought for the car. I realized at this point in my life it would be smart to just keep it and go for an "all-out" build.

One thing I did was buy some new OEM BMW Performance gloss black kidney grills

Also, I had the roof and side mirror covers done in gloss black! Yes, I had them painted

I had a NFR AP2 S2000 and sometimes wonder if I should get another! Love those cars

They are just style 197 wheels plastidipped black. My car has the sport package, so these wheels come from bmw.

YES! and you have an M3? I'm glad I'm not the only one who had these thoughts...

Soooo long story short my 60w LED angel eye kit went defective, and I upgraded to the 80w LED kit (both from Top Gear Solutions). I like the 80w much better!!!

Alen E90 · 08-09-2014, 01:47 AM

^absolutely love the gloss black roof/mirrors, thanks for sharing and keep up the good work

All my friends ask me about tints, but I don't want to because of that beautiful coral red interior!!!!! I really don't do tints on any of my cars. You can always remove it

Well, as far as I know I dropped the car off and got it back with painted trim lol. He didn't mention anything about doing it a certain way..

I mean obviously he did some sanding and whatnot but I'm sure it wasn't a big deal. It's holding up great!!

EndOfAnEra · 09-04-2014, 07:37 PM

Hey guys! A few updates for you all

1) I removed the plastidip from my wheels, after a while the black started to look really dirty even after cleaning the wheels.

2) Bought better vinyl and re-did the tail lights.

3) Bought a BMW Performance carbon fiber trunk spoiler

A few more from yesterday

khanh1289 · 09-05-2014, 03:00 PM

how much did painting your roof and mirrors cost? i was looking into doing the same thing and if you could give me your ballpark i'll know if im being ripped off or not.. lol thanks.

Alen E90 · 09-05-2014, 10:41 PM

Lookin' good bro! Btw if you like the design of the style 197's but your still looking to get aftermarket wheels, I would suggest getting a set of 19" BBS CH's in silver. Not only are they BBS wheels just like the 197's but they also look a little similar as well. IMO they would look sickkk on your car!

roccy_miyagi · 09-07-2014, 09:41 AM

Dopeness, looks good from another jersey head / ex Honda builder lol

NewToBeamer · 09-07-2014, 10:38 AM

The car is looking great, I'm kind of taking notes for my car haha Im loving the F10 side markers

kdbryce · 09-07-2014, 11:12 AM

really great job, man! nice and clean

M-Sport front and rear would do wonders, though!

BlkD12agon · 09-07-2014, 02:57 PM

Really like the build. I didn't read every reply so if this question was already answered my fault, what made you decide not to go back to another M3?

Also, that S2000 was clean, any plans of possibly picking another one up and making it a DD or track car?
