the semi black and the brush look very nice.

Kev · 01-01-2010, 04:34 PM

I like that front end from RDSport a lot. Great job~

H2 · 01-01-2010, 06:14 PM

Nice set of mods. I always like it when people list their mods. That way you don't have to guess what they did.

Wheels + Bumper = Win

Wow, your car came out mint. I think you reached your objective very well. The car is all business, very aggressive and and has just the right amount of flash to it, without being labeled as flashy.

I think we both share the same objectives in modding our cars, to keep it all business, aggressive and just the right amount of flash. I think I've been able to achieved that with the little mods that I've done. It's just unfortunate that I cannot do more with my car, as I'll just be doing angels and 6K bulbs and call it a day....for now. I'm getting hitched in 9 months and I'm about to put an offer in on a new home next week, so my money is needed else where right now. For now, I'll have to live vicariously with the fine members of M3post, like yourself.

I think it's safe to say, that with the mods you've done, your car is among the better looking M3's on this site.

Congrats, Tom. All the very best for 2010.

Thanks, Nick. You're a lucky guy, finding that special someone, driving around in a very nice M3, and getting ready to buy your first house. Life doesn't get much sweeter than that. Continue to play it smart like you're doing and enjoy it. Also, I'd enjoy seeing some pics of your beast.

HiProfile Robs · 01-02-2010, 01:10 PM

Car looks great man!

SpencerM3 · 01-02-2010, 06:07 PM

My favorite IB i've seen. Congrats.

positiveions · 01-02-2010, 06:30 PM

TLud, your car looks like "I want to have sex with it" hot.

You have what everyone has and it is called "I have money in my pocket and it is itching me" syndrome.

welcome to the club.
Nice to see you are taking care of your baby.

Thanks, gentlemen.

This car has indeed been a money pit. I have managed to resist the siren call of the stroker motor/supercharger...for now.

xchosun1x · 01-02-2010, 08:51 PM

any dyno sheets with your custom tune?

also..how is the handling when it comes to just upgrading springs? do you have edc?

You're right, Tom, I am truly blessed and I thank Him daily for it. I will post a much awaited photo shoot of my car (never did one) as soon as the weather here in Toronto clears up and old man winter takes a hike. Car's in storage right now so it won't be for a few months. That's okay, it'll give me some time to get familiar with my new D90 and then I'll be taking a lot of shots.

Blake · 01-02-2010, 09:27 PM

sorry i took your license plate tom

Oh man, I'm very interested to hear what you think of the D90. I've been shopping DSLRs and that is the current frontrunner. Looking forward to seeing the pics!

I'm thinking about trying to claim it after you sell your car. Yes, it's a sickness.

Of all the research I've done in the last 3 months or so, the D90 kept popping up in all the reviews as the clear winner over the competition (I must have read at least a dozen pro reviews). Black's was having a sale that I just couldn't pass up and I pulled the trigger on it today.

Got the D90 body, Nikkor VR 18-105mm lens, 1 year extended warranty, Nikon bag, 125 free digital prints, and a 7" Sony digital pic frame all for $1279 Canadian. Sale ends tomorrow. Check it out at your local Blacks if you get the chance.
