LTBMW- *updated* Once You Go Black You Never Go Back - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

hawaiianeze · 08-07-2012, 02:14 AM

Well I've posted every time I mod the car, but want to condense into one build thread. I have to give a huge shout out to LTMW for the excellent work they have done on my car! Feel free to comment and ask questions

current mod list:
LTMW M3 Front Bumper
Kerscher Lip
Fog Light Delete
M3 Ducts
M-tech rear bumper
Custom Molded Lci Diffuser
Dukes Dynamics CSL Trunk
Vorsteiner 2x2 Carbon Fiber Hood
Fishcake321 Blacked Out P90 V2
Turn Signal Delete
Coding
Blacklines
Matte Black Kidney Grills
3M Carbon Fiber Interior Wrap
15% Tint All Around
Magnaflow 14807
4in Magnaflow Performance Tips
Charcoal Delete
ST Coilovers
Varstoen ES1 - 19x9.5 et 20
Varstoen ES1 - 19x11 et 25
Hankook Ventus V12 - 235/35/19
Hankook Ventus V12 - 265/30/19

So here's the car when I first got it, literally as stock as they come.

then I rushed into it and did some work on it....
18in m3 reps (damn look at that fitment

)
grills and other things

then the ghetto phase- performance spoiler was a plus at least

and this, someone in a parking lot hit the front of my bumper, so I went to LTBMW to get my M3 rep front bumper with fog delete and on the way back a Ford Escape rear ends me while stopped on the freeway... Mtech Rear!

which turned to this:
LTMW M3 rep with fog delete
CSL Trunk
Blacklines
M-tech rear bumper

Then it was time for a drop and new kicks

but of course someone once again in a ford escape backed straight into the front of my car causing my LTMW m3 front rep bumper to be dented in with some nice scratches and cracks to go along with it. Kidney Grills broken and popped out. And front of the hood dented downwards onto the front bumper. What luck I have...
New hood!

I finally got to changing the the ugly halogen pre lci lights to blacked out xenons and a little interior work with coding (Any odd lines/ unequal light distribution is due to the camera not the lights themselves.)

And by popular demand switching it up again

Rims completed, custom lci diffuser, new exhaust with 4in tips

Over the past month I have been in contact with a wheel company working on a wheel sponsor. I finally pulled the trigger today and drove down to go get myself a new set of rims

I had to do some fender work and get them fitted. Here's they are, Varrstoen ES1 19x9.5 & 19x11

New coils, touched up the paint

New Lip To Finish It Off

The m3 front bumper is custom molded to fit the car and does not come with holes

patrickguu · 08-07-2012, 01:45 PM

There are actually holes in my front bumper in the first pic, black on black covers the flaws better than most colors

Slow_335i · 08-07-2012, 03:01 PM

Looks good except for the headlight covers

Hey Ant · 08-07-2012, 03:27 PM

So.. did it hurt hurt after going black? Car looks great except the blacked out ambers.
