GTS Build Journal

1bmwaddict · 08-15-2017, 03:09 PM

I have my GTS for couple months now. Don't really have the time to enjoy it... but so far so good. Again... this is a slow build, and I'll eventually tune it at some point. I don't track my car, nor am I a professional driver. I just like to have the power as I need it. Enjoy

Thank you IND-Distribution and Powerbeast

CURRENT MODS:
HRE R101LW - 19F X 20R (Finish Brushed Clear/Bronze, Brushed Copper)
AKRAPOVIC CATLESS DOWNPIPES
RKP GTS HIGH WING MOUNT SET (ACID ORANGE)
RKP CARBON FIBER REAR DIFFUSER (ACID ORANGE)
CAR IS LOWERED SIGNIFICANTLY

FUTURE MODS:
EVENTURI
FULL XPEL STEALTH
DME TUNE STAGE 3
VORSTEINER WING BLADE
LCI 2.0 HEADLIGHT (PROBABLY)

Looking good man. I think the LCI headlights would look good on your build

That's where those wheels went!

jpdchicago · 08-16-2017, 05:21 PM

Looks great!
But how do you go over speed bumps or enter or exit driveways?
Just curious. Have not lowered mine yet.

HRE_Wheels · 08-16-2017, 05:47 PM

Lol well I know what road to take, and I'm being real careful. Car drives like a go kart. Love the gts even more.

I have not hit anything yet but still replaced the lower (orange) lip with the IND (Fall Line Motorsports) version. Made of hard plastic and painted the same color so you cannot even notice. I also won't care if I scrape it. Storing the OEM one in the garage. It will always look new...

No, I do not get any kick backs from them but for me, it is peace of mind...
