SEMA 2011: Before & After

SignatureJames · 11-17-2011, 02:57 PM

Just wanted to recap the great opportunity to be involved with SEMA 2011.

Although I did miss my car a whole month with R&D, body work, and final tuning, it was all worth it for the end project.

I would like to take this moment to all the affiliates on this project

Special Thanks
Mackin Industries for the opportunity to be in their booth
Vorsteiner for providing me the aerodynamics to stand out from the number of other E9x M3's out there
Brembo: for providing me with the most legitimate eye candy to accessorize with a Rays Wheel
Daley Visuals for one of the most flawless vinyl work done
EAS - for putting up with my numerous identity crisis changes in the car and putting it together with my neurotic self floating over you guys

Signature Autobody - for the gorgeous paint and install

Too bad you had to give the brakes back. Would love set of the gt-r brembos.

TypicalCat · 11-17-2011, 03:28 PM

sick car as always man! I gotta hit up the shop for some winter gear!

PS you know Calvin? AW M3 full Amuse kit?

wisesoul · 11-17-2011, 04:37 PM

This car is amazing now. Red Te37s look great

mkPOTO · 11-17-2011, 04:50 PM

dam love the color scheme of red and white!

Kensta335 · 11-17-2011, 05:05 PM

Amazing looking ride you got there.

MR///M3 · 11-17-2011, 05:17 PM

interested in selling me your muteki sr48 lug nuts from your SEMA wheels?

Love the new wheels, and it sucks that you have to get rid of the GTR brakes.

Julius@Style77 · 11-17-2011, 05:30 PM

car is very well put together and the livery for SEMA is really nice (I am usually not a big fan of big graphics). It must have been sad to let the GT-R kit go!

veightkiller · 11-17-2011, 05:41 PM

Nice Cars!

tom @ eas · 11-17-2011, 05:58 PM
