*** Brag About Your Car ***

Lets try to keep this thread on topic. What modifications do you have to your car? Any pictures would be helpful.

I know that since I started this, I should go first:

1998 BMW 540i
BMW M5 Kidney Grill, 18" Breyton Inspiration Wheels, 275/35/18 & 245/40/18 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Tires, European BMW Clear Lenses (ordered and should be here soon).

Thats all for now, but waiting for more!

In order of install :

Headers - Had to get the most added H.P. 1st

Sways - Needed to tighten ride.

Toyos - Plenty of H.P. needed more grip.

AEM Cai - Wanted more growl at high end

Exhausts - Wanted more growl at low end, and
appearance change.

Here's a somewhat current pic. I ordered my rims 3 weeks ago, but it's taking them a while to make the things. All my mods are listed in my signature, except now I have 2 5.6" Santeca monitors in the visors, and 2 6.4" monitors in the headrests.

ok...

2000 BMW 328Ci

V1 Hardwired
S-03 PP
next time I drive it- Dinan Software

Pretty much stock...

Damaged:
I see you have the Breyton Inspirations, nice rim. But, I really like their Magic Racing rims, probably the best 5 series rim I have seen. I saw them on a black 540, WOW. For some reason I like the new Dinan rim. There is something special about a 18x9.5 rim that weighs 18lbs http://www.dinanbmw.com/html/graphic..._wheel-400.jpg

Mine: 2001 CL-S, loan 100% paid off. Insurance rate just dropped and I'm more than happy with her; and will be until I step up into a MB four door when I need one, or when I get old whichever comes first.

Hooked on the imports.


$1.38 a gallon for 93 Octane here in Austin. Not bad, I can't bitch.

Mods: 3 scratched rims, 7 door dings on passenger door, 3 door dings on driver's door, slightly bent license plate/frame when somebody backed into me while parallel parking, slightly misaligned rear bumper when some idiot rear-ended me while parallel parking, chipped windshield from truck kicking up debris, paint chips all around, scratches on interior/passenger seat when some jerk-off broke into my car, cracked plastic thingy/cover when I installed my AEM CAI, misaligned hood due to shoddy Acura production, and lots of air fresheners.

price of mods : free
air fresheners: $6.99
my frustration: never-ending

Only in the front. I didn't have to cut anything in the back, and it should still go a little lower. I'm just waiting for my new wheels to do all my final cutting.

That's so fucking cool. I wish I could leave my car like that when I park it. NO one could tow that away or steal your rims

Damn 4pumped I envy your suspension/hydro setup. I myself will probably go fast bags or canovers. But thats later down the line. After the turbo or supercharger.
