Gorgeous, Gorgeous, GORGEOUS!!!! Did I say this car was Gorgeous yet ? This car is so clean. Not over done. I wish more people would do their cars like this here. Some people overdo their modding. Sometimes less is better. This is a great example. Great job bro. Stay safe.

I hate dealing with this issue. I love 1x1 weave and finding parts to match it is so hard. I cant get the half carbon Spoon trunk for the TSX because its 2x2 and my diffuser and hood are 1x1.

Looking real good and Synth pics look great as usual. I like the lip looks good painted. Not feeling the painting of the carbon diffuser though. Think it looks so much better when it is carbon.

WOW...I can't believe I missed this thread. I thought you just took pics to test fit th e wheels...but it's 2 months later so clearly they are yours. I'm in love with them, and the car and I'm not a huge fan of the sedan either...you did it right.

I actually think I like the painted CF better. Have you thought about paint matching the inside bezel in the headlight? I'll see if I can snap a picture of my friend's neighbor with a new 5 series (I think)...looks great.

Thanks guys.

I agree, i liked the CF diffuser more but nothing else on the car was CF so it irked me.

20s are only because of the price i was able to get them for used. Otherwise i would be on 19s. For now these will do.

Not touching the headlights. No urge to pry them open to paint them. Stuff like that i consider "mo mods, mo problems" category. So i try to shy away. I used to do it in the past and ended up with more headaches than it was worth. I dont mess with the electronics/audio either. Trying to keep this car to last.

I like it but I would have gone with a carbon fibre lip and rear diffuser, I think it would've set it off even more... btw are you on e90/m3post?

Yes I am. Name is Crazy Bimmer there.

If i had a different color then maybe i would have liked CF for contrast but it blends in too much on blue. Plus I like it this way as almost everyone else has the CF theme.

Well they look cool. How were they performance wise? What are your thoughts on them? Well I guess if you really liked them you would have bought them again eh.

Edit: Applied sentence capitalization. I think it looks better.

They are terrible. Had them on a couple of other sets because of sponsorships but otherwise i wouldnt buy them if i had to pay for them.

Hankook V12 evo and the vredestein ultrac sessanta are the two popular tires on the M3 forums for summer tires. I went with the hankook V12 this time and pretty happy with them so far. Of course PS2 are the best but they pricey.

I am one of the biggest Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta nuthuggers.... they're great tires. Very good in the rain as well - can't say anything about snow though, they probably blow chunks in that department.
