Hey Tlud. Been so busy studying for the stupid patent bar that I haven't read the forums lately.
I like what you have done. I saw the car with all your mods sans wheels. But now that you have the new wheels, it makes the exterior complete. The car will definitely turn even more heads now. And I thought my car was the hottest E92 in town...I guess not anymore...doh. Speaking of license plates, I stole the mirror image of your plate. I liked your plate so much that the only thing I could do was to get the second best thing: M3 E92. We'll go on a photoshoot with my D5000 when it's fixed again. It just recently suffered a complete loss of power. I did some research and there was actually a recall on the camera issued around in July for the problem I'm experiencing. So I need to send it back and get it fixed (Nikon pays shipping both ways). EDIT: Ha...looks like Tinpot was posting his message a split second before I posted mine. We can use both mine and Tinpot's D5000 on the next photoshoot ha ha. |

If Blake ends up selling his M3, I'll probably try to take his vanity plate, and you can have mine. What background did you get for your plate? I saw the recall issue during my research. The D5000 seems like a great camera, especially for the money, but that issue discouraged me from going that route. At least it's completely covered. Looking forward to doing a photoshoot with you guys. Thanks!

I'm not sure if there are any Black's Photography in the states, now that you mention it. They're pretty big here.

Yeah, doesn't look like there are any south of the border. I've decided to get the D90, just waiting to find the best deal now.

And I got the plain solid white background from the regular DMV website (not myplates). I remember it was really hard to find just a plain white background...I didn't want to choose a University, Org, or Sports team, etc. I remember buried in an unobvious link, I was able to get just the plain solid white background. Looks good on my AW car.
But if I could go back, I'd get it from Myplates.com since they offer a black background plate with white letters. That would look sweet on my car too. |

Good choice. I haven't had the chance to use mine just yet as I'm waiting to get my SD cards back from a friend, but trust me when I say that I did a TON of research and this camera is the best back for the buck.

Yeah, for the first 7 months or so I had no desire to mod this car, but things change, and I'm very happy with the way it turned out. With one minor exception, I wouldn't do anything different. Thanks!

The UUC DSSR. UUC's SSK is excellent in my opinion, but their DSSR had some serious quality control issues, and I would have left well enough alone if I had known about them. I'm confident though that I can get it to work as intended with some tweaking, as described here.

I think this is the cleanest and best looking M3 I have seen on this forum. The drop is perfect and the Stradale bumper further highlights the subtle aggressiveness that is the M3.

WOW, Tom. That looks 10x better than when I saw it. The RAC wheels really are the finishing touch. Kinda makes me wish I went the e92 route on the second M3. Looks perfect! Now, DON'T TOUCH IT!

Thanks, guys. Don't worry, Kyle, not doing anything else to it at all. You know you're better off in that sweet E46 ZCP. All you need is a good detail/paint correction, and that baby will look just as good as or better than any E92.
