perfect

i might have done gunmetal on the wheels, though

looks amazing either way

GAM3OVR85 · 11-06-2012, 08:08 PM

Nice and simple! Love it!!

XR_SIX · 11-06-2012, 08:12 PM

Stronghammer · 11-06-2012, 08:16 PM

Looking good. I really need a rear spoiler.

Thanks gunmetal was my second choice, but I thought the gloss black looks a bit meaner.

chris s · 11-06-2012, 09:15 PM

Nice!! Gloss black was the right choice!

dagolfpro · 11-06-2012, 09:23 PM

All you're missing is a Mode Carbon rear diffuser!

Thx! I debated on doing the plates for over a year! Glad I finally did.

Debated over doing a CF rear diffuser or CF rear spoiler. I thought both might be too much CF. I went with the spoiler mainly for the track.

BLACK OPS · 11-06-2012, 11:50 PM

Nice mods! Just right. I think white looks better without a diffuser.

datbimmerdoe · 11-06-2012, 11:56 PM

storm trooper approved!

M3SQRD · 11-07-2012, 04:29 AM

Nice, clean mods - car looks great

Tastefully done Sir !

THE TECH · 11-07-2012, 08:08 AM

Looks good.

ortho281 · 11-07-2012, 09:04 AM

Thanks for the inputs. Next upgrades:

BMW Performance Aluminum pedals (installed)
Recaro Pole Position buckets in leather
UUC EVO3 Short Shift Kit
///M stiched shift knob and handbrake boot (installed)
BMW Performance CF Mirrors (ordered)

MIC328i · 11-07-2012, 09:23 AM

Maybe it will look different in real life but the wheels are not showing that well in the pic! Gunmetal or the original silver might look better, on pics at least lol.

Agreed. Black does not show up well in pics. Matte black (track wheels) is even worst. That's why I went with gloss black. Gunmetal was my second choice. Silver would be too similar to stock (polished aluminum).

are you also planning to cf the mirror?
