Gorgeous. I think I need to lower mine a touch… one (or two) projects at a time!

Should wait until all parts are installed but, ehh. I’ll post once everything is complete. Cage mocked.

Are you planning on switching out the front seats with racing seats? I thought about doing it but didn't want to install a roll cage.

Just had the chrome wrapped on E93. Big improvement imo.

Looks great. I’ve been thinking about the chrome delete as well but am on the fence. I think if you have darker wheels, black/carbon aero or dark tints it’s a must. I’ve actually grown to like it on my interlagos blue with the silver 219’s. I want to add a front lip but am concerned the black or carbon would clash with the rest of the car.

It’s a personal choice for sure. Take a peak at E92 in your color to get a feel for the difference. I decided to keep the side marker chrome. I like the look.

Next car season I will swap to recaros. Factory seats are too bulky with the cage. Stuck between CS, CS GT and Poles.

I’ll get proper photos tomorrow and let the sunlight do justice. Busy install day but, still more mods to install.

Nice. Noticeable sound improvement with the new intake (top up and down)? Thinking of getting one or save up for an Eventuri plenum.

Above 4k you can definitely hear the growl both with the top up and down. That’s only with the valves closed though. Can’t hear anything with them open 😂

- Coby Alcantara wheel, shift boot and e-brake boot. Love the feel of the wheel - very solid. Thinking about swapping to the alcantara ZHP shift knob and e-brake handle to round everything out.

Nice. This looks good. If I ever do alcantara I will look at Coby.
