The JDM Inspired F80 M3 Build (Every Build Has A Story)
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com There are many unique F80 builds out there but this one is on a different level. What do you get when you buy your first German car and all your previous builds were JDM? Sheldon's Instagram : Imnotjohnnytran Photos : VF_Mtree I wanted to write this post and share with the community of this incredible build owned by Sheldon. Sheldon is a local car enthusiast here in South Florida and about a year ago, took the plunge and bought his first German car. Like many of us, this was his dream car and he wanted to make it his own. Being highly influenced with the JDM community, he made it an incredible build. Rear : Varis rear under tray Akrapovic diffuser ASM Titanium license plate bolts Exhaust - AWE Track Exhaust 3D Design Carbon fiber trunk lip Front: Laptorr front lip IND black kidney grills IND reflector delete Carbon fiber splitters Wheels / Suspension : BBS Motorsport E88 Forged Wheels H&R Street Performance Coilovers with KW EDC Delete Macht Schnell stud conversion Carbon ceramic brakes Interior : The one race bucket seat is a common in Japan which inspired the owner for this setup. Recaro RS-G Recaro Japan seat rails ASM bolster protector M-Performance V1 steering wheel Alcantara shift boot Alcantara emergency brake boot WC Lathe Werks Titanium shift knob Custom Arm delete IND red state button IND blue M buttons DragInt checkered floor mats Most of the modifications as you can see are from majority Japanese companies or made specifically for the Japanese market. Some future mods, are crankhub fix, downpipe and tune.

Fantastic build. Akrapovic diffuser needs no introductions - looks like it should, or - perfect.

You have got to update those headlights for the most aggressive look.

Best Part, the owner actually bought the LCI head lamps. He should be installing them soon to tie in the build.

I spoke with the owner about it when we were filming, He said they are great. Only issue is the lack of EDC.

Nice build. OP, does the owner have a contact to get that Laptorr lip?
There are a few other brands like Varis, ASM, and Laptorr. Funny enough, Recaro is German. |

Sorry you had trouble reading through it. I listed a few of the mods then a few corresponding photos. Along with the Varis Diffuser and Laptorr front lip he has the following: -Recaro RS-G (The Recaro RS-GS was originally created for the Japanese market. It's an ideal full bucket seat for both street and circuit) -Recaro Japan Seat Rails -ASM Bolster protector (ASM is based out of Japan) -ASM Titanium license plate bolts -DragInt Checkered floor mats (Popular JDM designed floor mats)

I think he still has a contact over at Laptorr. Best way to reach out to him is via Instagram.

He had to use a 3mm spacer to make it fit.
