On there way.

1. Vorsteinr CLS CF boot lid that I will paint AW and perhaps leave a small CF edge,
2. 3d CF diffuser, ACS CF splitter w/o the aluminum attachments or grills (donīt like those at all),
3. Gruppe-M CF air intake (3 weeks),
4. EVO type M3 leather steering wheel arrives today.

Pending,

1. ECU reflash,
2. Brembo BBK (possible 405mm discs)
3. Other engine mods?????? We will have to see one at a time!!!!

You're nuts! Great mods. Only thing I don't like is the Breyton wheels, but to each his own. PLEASE post pics of the steering wheel when you install it!

First time I hear someone not liking them, but as you say, to each his own. hahaha!!!! I agree they are not the best looking wheels, but didn't really have all those choices down here. By the way, I would NOT paint them black or gloss black or anything, I like them as is and will probably change the outer lip from polished to non polished aluminum.

I just got these from Cyba!





1x1 weave.

PM Cyba, he has the BEST price and the BEST product.

The package that it came in was great too, everything was wrapped up nicely to insure quality.

Just my MO, but in those photos the all black grilles, especially in the last photo, remind me of a Pontiac front end. I think I'd prefer to keep the dark crhome bars with the black surround. I imagine that is an option?

damn - pulled the trigger too quickly and ordered matte black grills. I think i want the outer surround painted black to match.

how much should it cost to have a body shop do this?

Clear bar looks very "race" oriented. Never seen one but should look great!
