i've never seen them with burn tips, either.

Spent yesterday at Summit Point on Shenandoah Circuit. First time on this course in dry weather. Last two times it rained on me.

ItsGary · 10-22-2018, 03:19 PM

Washed it. Discovered I have a hairline crack on my headlight lens, guy who did the job said he can fix it for me, but I'm debating if I should replace both lenses with brand new ones and have a clearbra put on them to prevent future pitting

Yeah, I saw this set. Kinda pricey. I'll see how the current stock tips look when I get home and install the rear diffuser.

Yep, for $300 I figured they were but they do look really good though. When I compared them with the other real CF parts that the car currently has, unless one is a CF expert it's impossible to tell them apart. Now as for durability, well that remains to be seen.

+1. But if you think those are pricey, these were the tips I considered for maybe 5 seconds but just couldn't come to terms on spending $3,000 on just exhaust tips:

$3000? Ha ha - hell, that's 8-10% of the value of most of our cars

Dinan airintake installed.

ItsGary · 10-24-2018, 08:03 PM

Bought ACM Test Pipes from a buddy. Going to go in the car today.

Aries326 · 10-24-2018, 11:55 PM

Made a YouTube video of my new to me E92 M3 exhaust sound with OEM exhaust mod and Dinan Air Intake. My kids were recording. I was pushing on the gas.

Installed Lux angel Eyes bulbs
Installed Matte Black kidney grills.
Wiped down the interior with Sonax

Yeah, you can tell I'm in love with this thing.
