LTBMW & 808E90 ... Hawaii's Newest Project ... A JDM BUILD!!

808E90 · 07-01-2009, 10:11 PM

After a long and painful three months, I can finally say that the M3 is here!

Coming from a JDM past I have always found myself in love with their style and products. I mean you can’t deny their style, quality and fitment. For those reasons my newest project will still be in the BMW family but with it a little more power and a little JDM twist.

Special Thanks to:

Long Tran at LTBMW

Long has helped me from day one on my first project and I have teamed up with him again for this new project. Long and his new team (Andy) are hands down the best. They have great knowledge of their products and are always there if you need help. These guys are real honest, have great communication, great products, and you can trust them. I can’t wait to see where we take this new project.

Gary at RENN-Spec

I first contacted Gary for an exhaust a few months back. Since then we have sent each other about a hundred PM’s and e-mails. I had so many question I’m sure I drove him crazy. Gary took the time to answer all of my question and even helped after I got the parts and still had a few questions. Gary was great to work with and he is very honest about his products. I look forward to working with you again.

Julius at WheelSTO

I had the hardest time getting my hands on some ADVAN caps. I then contacted Julius and sure enough he was able to get me a set with just a week wait. Communication was top notch. All my PM’s were answered within minutes. Julius even took the time to answer a few questions I had about some of his project cars. I would and look forward to working with you again.

Your old E90 was sick, and your M3 will be sick. I remember Longtran's car having those wheels at one point

Diesel///M · 07-01-2009, 10:23 PM

Finally. Now it's official, you've moved to the dark side.

The exterior and interior color combos are exactly like mine, but mine's an E92 w/ 19inch rims.

welcome to the club.

C17MooseDriver · 07-02-2009, 02:11 PM

You really wasted no time to start modding. Go big or go home I guess.

Looking good, you're going to have the most unique M3 on the island.
