NicE!!

Mahzari · 08-05-2011, 01:16 AM

You know you don't need to buy new rims every time you need new tires?

Seriously though, can't wait to see what you do with your current M3

mmm def · 08-15-2011, 05:12 PM

all your cars look fantastic! IMO the E92 looked the best with the stock ZCP rims, but looks fantastic either way. I LOVE that color!!!!

CFM3 · 08-15-2011, 06:39 PM

Great looking color! I was going to get this before going to LB.

AngelinIsRich08 · 08-15-2011, 07:06 PM

At all of them. That E90 M3 was sick! As was the Porsche and the rest.

SignatureJames · 08-17-2011, 11:35 AM

UPDATE 8.17.11

Added Vorsteiner Carbon Fiber 1x1 Splitters Up Front to complete the front

I had to show the interior some love so decided to shave off 70lbs of useless weight and remove the factory seats and add...

(2) Recaro RS-G ASM Edition Limited Blue (definitely not for the fat boys)

Macht Schnell Floor Mounts
Macht Schnell Aluminum Side Brackets
Recaro Sliders
Tom @ EAS's "Magic Coding" to work around airbag lights and Seat Belts

Few "final touches" will be finished before it sits inside the KW Suspension Booth @ the Motion Show in Long Beach, CA

Exterior Love

Interior JDM Splurge

GT1281 · 08-17-2011, 12:17 PM

I really love your car but to be honest I'm not a fan of the seats. Maybe its just the blue in them.

Orange fever · 08-17-2011, 12:37 PM

Love the seats and in person soooo sick
Aka slim jim only........lol.no fat ppl seats

Turbo>NA · 08-17-2011, 02:35 PM

Couple questions..

Why did you go with that recaro color choice on a white car?

Do you plan on taking off your KW3 for something else?

SignatureJames · 08-17-2011, 03:23 PM

recaro question: had it leftover from the porsche, limited colorway and a waste to sell $1900/ seat for pennies

KW V3 is just in for now

Brucewonder · 08-17-2011, 04:08 PM

car is coming along nicely, i think you the fastest modder on this forum. Those MS brackets are noice!!!

catch · 08-17-2011, 07:51 PM

you my friend, with the exception of the rims on the CLS have fantastic taste!!

w00tw00t · 08-17-2011, 07:58 PM

super nice!

SignatureJames · 08-18-2011, 11:47 AM

UPDATE 8.18.11

Final Minor Updates before my car sits @ the KW Suspension Booth for Motion Show Long Beach.

Been looking for Carbon Fiber accents but I am insistent they have to be 1x1 weave. So BMW Performance decided to fail by making their parts 2x2 when their own Coupe Roof is 1x1... smh

But I was fortunate to cop the EAS 1x1 Carbon Fiber Mirror Covers & Hood Vents to create a contrast accent piece to my build theme. They are beautiful pieces and the fact they have OEM base makes fitment AWESOME... "snap, snap, flush" - install instructions right there

"People" have been pondering why did I go with blue seats (besides the fact they are limited, Japan Model only to fit my tiny frame and 2K a piece, who cares right???)

blue accents c/o Rays & Muteki Limited Edition Burning Blue

Well... I think the images will show you why below

I think I am done for now, just wanted to celebrate 1 month of ownership

matchy matchy... sneaker game foundation carries over to the whips!

EAS 1x1 Carbon Fiber Mirror Covers & Hood Vent Covers

Some Morning Shots in my parking lot
