So as stupid as this may sound, I actually wanted to sell the car a few weeks ago. I sold most of my parts that I had bought for the car. I realized at this point in my life it would be smart to just keep it and go for an "all-out" build.

One thing I did was buy some new OEM BMW Performance gloss black kidney grills





Also, I had the roof and side mirror covers done in gloss black! Yes, I had them painted

YES! and you have an M3? I'm glad I'm not the only one who had these thoughts...

Soooo long story short my 60w LED angel eye kit went defective, and I upgraded to the 80w LED kit (both from Top Gear Solutions). I like the 80w much better!!!

All my friends ask me about tints, but I don't want to because of that beautiful coral red interior!!!!! I really don't do tints on any of my cars. You can always remove it

Well, as far as I know I dropped the car off and got it back with painted trim lol. He didn't mention anything about doing it a certain way..

I mean obviously he did some sanding and whatnot but I'm sure it wasn't a big deal. It's holding up great!!

Hey guys! A few updates for you all

1) I removed the plastidip from my wheels, after a while the black started to look really dirty even after cleaning the wheels.

2) Bought better vinyl and re-did the tail lights.

3) Bought a BMW Performance carbon fiber trunk spoiler

Lookin' good bro! Btw if you like the design of the style 197's but your still looking to get aftermarket wheels, I would suggest getting a set of 19" BBS CH's in silver. Not only are they BBS wheels just like the 197's but they also look a little similar as well. IMO they would look sickkk on your car!

really great job, man! nice and clean

M-Sport front and rear would do wonders, though!
