DMM with Aspec kit...Pics inside

Hey guys,

Finally got my Aspec kit on. Here are some pics: (couldn't get Flickr to embed the pics directly. Kept showing broken link)

Just A-spec side skirts:

Full A-spec lip kit:

Future mods:
1. Getting 35% or 30% tint all around(except windshield)
2. Brakemotive brakes/rotors (already have,gotta install) and Paint Calipers Black w/rdx covers
3. Vinyl Wrap roof gloss black
4. Paint stockies Duplicolor gunmetal (I have some bad curb rash)
5. Drop...Thinking on springs either S-Tech, H-Tech or H&R sports
6. Spacers 15mm front 20mm rear

Let me know what you guys think!

Very, very clean- a lot of people don't like DMM (I actually do), but the way that's set up, it looks great! It's your car and your choice to do so, but in honesty, I'd leave the vinyl off the roof. It looks much more classy the way it is.

That's a nice colour I don't think you should vinyl the roof as well plus you should just leave everything as is and just give it a drop, too much black ( tints, vinyl, black grille ) will take away the look of your TL

I disagree with the ones who oppose the roof being vinyl. If done right, 35% tint (not TINTS), OEM deck spoiler, drop, wheels, mod tails, etc; it will bring out the DMM to a whole new level.

Thanks guy. I love the oem style look but i want to make it look more aggressive without going overboard. I've looked at so many tl's on here and I see the potential of my car..Maybe I will leave it mostly oem and mod out my next car(tl type s).

I do want a roof spoiler but bmwoemshop doesn't make one in DMM.

I also want fogs. I think I'm going to do the accord fogs with the type s grills conversion.

Tint yes, drop yes, but i say, save the money your gonna spend on paint and spacers and save up a bit and get a set of wheels for the car. You can get a very nice set of wheels with tires for $700-1000. Because you'll end up wanting wheels after a month or so anyways. And i don't think the black roof will look good. I say keep the roof gold. But if you like it do it. Don't forget non of us are gonna be driving your car so do what you'll enjoy seeing every day.

Heres my brothers DDM....needs a lip kit bad.

Hmm I have looked at Dougboy's DMM post for inspiration. I feel like I don't want to drop huge $$$ into this car like he did. I'm gonna stick with stock rims and do little subtle mods. Definitely gonna lower it and get tint though.
