[Silverwolf]

Looks awesome! My jaw always drops regardless of how many times I look at it... awesome work!

[Nate@IND]

The attention to detail on this build was insane! I wish the m3post members could see it in person. Was very fun watching the collaboration between Andrew@IND and Jeff. I'm talking 10000000 emails pouring over each and every detail

Thanks again for everything Jeff!

When it was time to modify Jeff’s beautiful E93 M3, we began with the installation of a Vorsteiner front bumper, and progressed gradually to a performance car that had no component left untouched, no detail left unexamined, and the kind of dedication to an overall vision that can only be a result of countless hours of careful planning.

Describing this car component by component would take pages, so we will make do with a list of modifications. We know that M3Post enthusiasts will quickly see and understand that only a person who lives and breathes detail every day could envision a project like this E93, and we at IND are honored to have taken part in creating this incredible car.

... And the pleasure and honor is all mine, Mr. Andrew at IND First & foremost, my deepest thanks & gratitude goes out to Andrew, who has overseen this entire build from its first inception last Nov. 2013, when the car was purchased brand new (I've always admired & wanted an E93 M3) ... What started off as a simple email inquiring about GTS door sills quickly escalated to mod-after-mod (as everyone on here knows, once you start - you can't stop), which eventually led to me just shipping my car out to iND (the finest form of the mod bug)

As everyone knows, IND needs no introduction: From start to finish, my build took about 6 months, but it was well worth the wait!! IND created a true masterpiece for me, fulfilling every single one of my dreams, and helped solidify their staple as the foremost BEST shop in America. I would not trust anybody but IND to touch any of my cars. Period. ... Furthermore, I would like to give a BIG shout-out to Luis at OSS Designs in Miami, Florida for my unbelievable headlights that are his most insane and complex set to date!!

As Nate at IND hilariously pointed out in an earlier post, there were literally thousands of emails from me to Andrew, asking lots of silly (and sometimes meaningless) questions ... Despite my anal OCD self, Andrew answered every single one of my stupid questions almost immediately with his usual skillful poise and expert knowledge (despite being extremely busy with his normal daily operations). Now that's top-notch customer service, folks!!

I was raised to respect and give thanks to each and every individual who has helped me along the way, and this build is absolutely no exception. Besides both Andrew and Nate (of course), there are many behind-the-scenes team members at IND that truly deserve full recognition and praise from me:
- Jesal and Ilia = Many thanks for all the continual support!!
- Painters: Oscar, Javier, Cesar, and "Billy the Kid" (Pinstripe)
- Technicians: Mike, Al, and especially Luis (for the magic on our rear bumper & rocker panel vents!!)
- Upholstery: Ken and all staff
- Shop Manager: Anthony
- Shipping Dept.: Ryan and Aiden
- Accountant: Anna (thanks for taking ALL of my money ... Just joking)
- Mike@UMG: Your photography and videography skills are unparalleled

Being just a simple and humble guy myself, I want to fully express my thanks, praise, and true appreciation to Andrew and all the fine crew at IND. Your dedication to excellence, doing the right thing, putting customers first, and the relentless pursuit to always be better all make IND truly second-to-none, and I am the luckiest E93 M3 driver ever ... Many thanks again for all the hard work, sweat, and countless hours on my project ... It was definitely worth every penny

On a side note for my fellow forum members, please feel free to PM me any questions you may have regarding my build, and I'll try my best to answer them!! For those of you on Instagram, follow me @nice.braces for the latest pictures!! And for those that are not, I'll continually update this thread with new photos!!

Here are a few more from South Florida (for now):

[BMWDEMON]

Attention to detail is amazing and the car is clean clean clean....except for the v8 badge. Great photos, humble guy, great shop, great execution...well done and enjoy!

[SWOT1]

Which trunk spoiler is that?? Now just needs a ESS VT2!

[Monstro]

Had the pleasure of meeting Jeff and seeing this car in person a few weeks back. The attention to detail truly is insane! Great job!

[xiliy]

Sick build, I have been waiting to see your car. Congratulations and I hope not to see a massive part out like we did before with other cars, this car should stay just they way it is now.

[Andy_H_E92_M3]

Very nice. (I want that rear bumper in JZB!)

[preppy]

This is quite the car! Those headlights are too awesome.
