If there isn't an Acura in this post, then you shouldn't be posting here. Sorry my 2 cents since this this is an Acura forum. I don't blame you, BMW forums are crap.

Car looks good but like in your other post, you need to get rid of that hood. It's looks way to booty on your car mang.

Very sweet looking. I love the spoiler/trunklid. The hood is kinda iffy..i don't like the bubble in the middle. If it just had the vents, that'd be cool...but to each his own. Very nice sir!

I'm not being a dick, but Madcat, in the past, people have posted there cars when they've moved on from their TLs and I don't think anyone was opposed. What is bringing on all this Acura supremacy? I think that we should welcome all kinds, even if it is a BMW.

I’m not being a d**k either, but BMW and Acura peeps don’t mix. BMW have bigger egos than us and should stick to their forums.

I didn’t say it a good or bad ride either.

Your car looks really tight...although I'm not a fan of those two holes between the doors and front wheel. Also not a fan of the hood either.

But..just wondering..was those headlights aftermarket? How much did those cost?

madcat, ur exactly right, bmw owners have huge egos...even entry class owners...i dont understand why.

downunder, i wanna SC sooo badly! the kit is like 6500 with an additional 1k install. man, thats a lot of money all in one place!! but hopefully i can save enough for a kit. If i get a sc, something tells me im gonna need better brakes

reloaded- thx for the compliment! the headlights arent after market, but i have a "demon eye kit" which is aftermarket. Basically the kit are 4 rings that clip onto my headlights and look like eyes. you can buy them for 300-350 depending the store.

Hquakers, thx for the compliments man, always nice to hear. The hood is kinda bubbly in pics, but u def need to see it in person to appreciate it more.

welfarreclubbers- thx for the compliment! sorry didnt know bout bikes and car section

thanuja- thx for the compliments bro! always appreciated

donte99tl- thanks for compliment, what do u think of this hood- http://www.importvelocity.org/Photop...G_5810-med.jpg

heres a better pic of my hood on someone elses car hehe unpainted- http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/5...cfhood-med.jpg


rets- my bad, totally didnt know bout cars and bikes. Thx

More props to the angel eyes. I am glad to see that BMW has made those standard on their new cars. Now only if they could improve their reliability.

Definitely save up for an S/C man it'll be worth it, especially if you run into a cocky M3 driver. And I think the brakes would be adequate as long as you don't make lots of high-speed braking.

while im not a big fan of your hood, i guess thats i should see it in person like you said. otherwise, nicely done with the rest of the car!
i love the design of the current 3-series coupes the '06 will take a little time for me to used to.

beemerkiller! i like ur sn, it seems like every car out there can pretty much own a bimmer now days...man my car is soo under powered! oh, about the mods, I get lots of scholarship money, like extra...plus i work. Also, sponsorships help a lot. My Gf bought me the hood and my mom and dad bought me the angel eyes as an early Birthday gift. All the other stuff is from work and scholarship money, which is suprisigly a lot! Thank you so much for the comments!!

Tommyt37, thanks a lot man! i need a digi cam badly, usualy friends or companys take pics of my car. Thx again! ill be sure to post more pics when i get a chance or on next mod!


What do you all think of a lip spoiler on the bumper i have right now? Lemme know ill post pics of how it looks on other cars! Godbless

there is no more 4.6, just 4.8 which is at 358 hp. Pretty cool.

oh man, lol thats like the worst thing i wanted to hear lol. I can totally see where u see rice.
Like my buddy david said in another post, the fenders and hood are all carbon fiber and the the fenrders have been modified and the inner head shield has been cut for major ventilation. I use to have am oem style CF hood, with no pins....that thing flew off a long time ago...lol, learned my lesson. The new hood was a gift from my gf and i really really LIKE it! pretty much the hood and fenders are the only things that make the car "rice" looking. but the difference is they are actually pretty functional.

mio, u dont like my rims?

man...that's rt...If those venta on the hood and the fender are actually functional, then it's not rice at all!!! I love the hood and fender the most just becoz it do help the car perform, instead for good looking only like those civics you see on the street. Like those vents on those Ferrari and Lambo, dont think you'll say them rice.....
