Nice build...Subscribed!

[dzhou102684]

a few more for you guys, yes, I changed the rims to 763M and the original 666 was sold to fellow member hwang23, more to come!

[dzhou102684]

Sneak peak

a full vid will come up in about 2-3 weeks

Looks good. You dropped major coin in a relatively short time period to mod your car. I think the door handles would look better body color. Matching body color calipers would also look nice. Sounds like you're also getting a new trunk/lip spoiler? I think that's a wise choice

[dzhou102684]

Thanks buddy, yeah i just want to get everything done and be able to enjoy the car without having to go in and out of the shop all the time.

As for the door handles, I can see from your point of view it'd be flush and matches with the body colour, I just wanted something different, an "imperfection" so to speak and to me, this pops out a bit more with the black handles and the yellow calipers.

The car is getting wrapped in stealth/ultimate XPEL combo as we speak along with a CSL carbon trunk. There's also some more interior carbon bits that are going in.

Stay tuned for a more detailed review of everything in about 2 weeks or so.

Cheers,

David

Where did you get the CF interior parts installed ? I'm looking for a place to install mine, and also for the brakes where did you get them done ? As I'm looking to get mine done in yellow too !

Beautiful car btw ! Good mod options you got !

[dzhou102684]

Hey buddy, I got most of the installation done directly at BMW dealership, the one I used is Budds BMW in Oakville cause it's closer to me and they have a lot of experiences with the M cars. As for the break callipers, they were done by Budds collision down the road from Budds BMW Oakville, my hood was painted by them as well. If you need my contact, let me know.

On to XPEL

[NTMR_M3]

Just my personal opinion, but that trunk is terrible. CSL lid does not fit the f80's style at all...Its so chunky looking. But all the power to you making the car how YOU want it, because in the end, that's all that matters

[jnthn]

Damn that's an extensive list.

[dzhou102684]

Hey man, thank you for your honest opinion, I really just wanted something different for the trunk, I still have the original trunk so I can always go back to it if needs be

XPEL stealth getting put on

[PsychCA]

Nice, bud.
Who did this XPel and don't you mind giving the cost ?

Thanks

[dzhou102684]

Sekanskin in Toronto, it was around 8k after tax cause I had some customization done to it

[dzhou102684]

slow and steady, it's coming along, scheduled pick up date is this Saturday but it just can't come soon enough...

[PsychCA]

Oh the wrapping is not done yet ?

[dzhou102684]

Got my first photo shoot done yesterday after the car meet here in town, had a blast with the guys. Photos are getting edited by my friend as we speak. Will post more as soon as I have them.

new thread up

Car Looks great, I like your personal touches and besides, even if I didn't its YOUR car!

The first F8x I saw when i moved back to Stuttgart was Sakhir and I loved it, it sparked my interest back to the ///M's. Also, it reminded me of the first Orange '95 Eclipse that I ever saw and I eventually bought a silver one, still miss that car!

BTW, I missed the details on the GTS hood. Where did you get it and how many organs did you sell for it ?

[dzhou102684]

Haha, by this rate, I don't think I would have any organs left.

I got it through RW Carbon, you can take a look at their website and see if it's worth your while (price on the site is between $1,699.95 USD to $2,599.95 USD depending on the finishing)

Nice build!

The budget for all this modding would be like a 2nd hand M3 or something ?
