I love this thing. Very nicely modded!

Russell L. · 12-23-2011, 06:58 PM

What color did you have it painted? Very nice car!

euG! · 12-23-2011, 06:59 PM

Looks very JDM inspired. I would paint the hood and debadge/de-decal the entire car (minus the BMW logo).

I'm not really into JDM. I think the hood and the front lip goes really well with the red paint and gold wheels. It gives it that aggressive look. But hey thanks anyways.

I knew the stickers comments were going to come. lol.

It's fine.

Thanks man!

Looks great! I would take the stickers off though it would look a lot cleaner. Red+Gold wheels = sex

One thing though... lose the stickers.

I am planning to take the decals off the fenders and the rear window because they are getting old and ugly. The rear little bbs decals on the rear quarter windows will stay. The windshield decals are from the forum MFEST. The mfest decal on the passenger side and mfest crown on the drivers side will stay. On the bottom corner is the portuguese crest. That will obviously stay.

Thanks guys on the rest of the car!

looks great in gray
CH 9,5" wheels on the back will do the job

The wheels were and are still expensive. Might look for some used 9.5" wheels next year or just get spacers.

Thank you.

Thanks bro! I got bored with the camera. lol.

I don't mean to be rude, but it looks like a kid's car. Black/red/gold/stickers...too much going on.

If you painted it the gray color from the last picture and calmed things down, it'd be a lot better (in my opinion, at least).

I'm going to agree with this... I wouldn't have phrased it quite so negatively (as I think the car is pretty eye catching as is). Painting some/all of the hood and a few other tweaks would just "calm down" the car. as it sits, it's pretty in your face and in a rather kid-style way. Just too flashy looking.

This x100 I can respect all the mods, I just think its time to clean it up a bit. Interested to see what's to come

+1. Start by painting the rims

they look horrible in gold.
