I like this idea with a potluck - someone's house would be fun too but atleast this way less cleanup, easier to park etc...

Every saturday night at River City shopping center they block off the parking lot at lowes and there is a crap load of cars that hang out there.

woo hoo, the pieces are finally coming together slowly... i put on my carbon fiber front splitters today.. I didn't like the full carbon look when i just slid them on, there was too much contrast at the bottom with no other supporting darkness on the front. I thought it just looked awkward. So i had one of the paint guys at the body shop today spray them silver for me.. here is the end result. I decided to keep a little carbon showing.

a shot of the bottom

Thank god you painted it. I hate carbon fiber on a non-black car.

Thats not what I was talking about. I was talking about carbon lips, hoods, trunks, mirrors and grills. Something about those an a light color cars dosent flow well.
Like this one it looks like its unfinished looks like some black things he just stuck on.

1SerieStud · 03-30-2011, 03:12 PM

Lol the only 2 things missing on your list are spoiler and diffuser which is what I actually have

haha just teasing man, carbon fiber is not for everyone...in fact, I dislike large carbon fiber parts such as hoods/trunks/fenders on any car, regardless of color. In my eyes it makes the car look overdone.

Now if I were to keep this car instead of switching to a 1M, carbon fiber mirrors would be next for me...I like small cf accents!

In the end it's a matter of taste, and such is in the eyes of the beholder. I respect everyone's taste.

Everyone is different, with different points of view.

Looks great John. Excellent decision to paint the splitters like you did!

e90TiAg335i · 03-30-2011, 05:08 PM

So where are we meeting and who's cooking? I'm hungry...

Anyone have any preferences for a date or location?

thanks brett.

In the next week or so we should try to a park somewhere where they have outside grills and can accomodate all of our cars.. I know of a park thats along A1A on the beach as you get near villano beach. I also don't mind doing the cooking.

1SerieStud · 03-30-2011, 05:29 PM

Food and cars...I'm down.

e90TiAg335i · 03-30-2011, 05:32 PM

Sounds like all we need is a date! My calendar is pretty much open except for the 16th of April. Planning on driving down to Tampa for the GTG there. I know e90slow is going. Whose driving down with us?

Boosted John · 03-30-2011, 07:28 PM

Almost any weekend is good for me as long as we plan for this thing to happen on a sunday.

Brett what is GTG??
