I appreciate all the input so far. Any more?

HifiSyd · 07-16-2012, 02:41 PM

Cosmetically, I think the car is just about perfect. While i know a few will recommend a drop, I really like the mod/OEM balance you've got going here. Love the wheels too. All is very tastefully done.

You could maybe get rid of the amber in the headlights, possibly smoke the side marker lights, and a fun mod that's easy to do is to enable the rear fog lights by modding the headlight switch. That's all I've got... Car looks great; less is more.

your car looks nice cosmetically as is, maybe you can start with the performance mods if you havent already.

I would say go for a drop and a more aggressive exhaust set-up those pipes look too small!

rbtamms · 07-16-2012, 03:42 PM

Nice job...the wheel looks sick on E90...do not touch the window trim because it goes well with the wheels...

jvsxn · 07-16-2012, 04:01 PM

Your car looks nice as is but I think larger exhaust pipes, shadowline trim, different roundels, and amber delete will complete the car and the best part is they're fairly inexpensive mods. Again, you got a nice set-up at the moment

Thank you! Agreed on coding the ambers and not dropping!

Performance wise I've got a JB3 and VRSF downpipes. Think FMIC might be next in that department, but I agree I have to do something with the exhaust. Muffler delete with tips? Maybe.

That's why the vinyl has been just sitting for a year. Just can't jump on changing that trim for some reason...

Agree on the exhaust and amber delete. I like the OEM roundels just because I think I'm kind of shooting for a "this is how the performance edition should have looked" kind of thing. I like it looking like it might have been a rare factory option

Again, thanks for the input from everybody! Y'all are what makes this forum such an awesome resource.

Hahaha -- I hope I get to that point! I keep thinking a little something here and there, this then that... Modding won't stop.

Yeah I grew up in Converse and lived in Denton for twelve years. I just moved to Atlanta three months ago -- missing Whataburger like crazy. At least there's Shiner here!

Nasty I think you should go back to stock. I'll trade you everything

In all seriousness, everything is looking great. Very clean. I'd also prefer a little more of a drop but that's just my personal preference. Everything else is pretty much exactly where I'm heading towards. Keep me up to date on that fog delete!

Hahaha -- if I go stock you have first dibs!

Thanks for the compliment and I'll let you know on the fog delete.

what size tires are you running im about to get some tires on mine

Amini77 · 08-19-2012, 03:28 PM

I think the chrome trim looks nice on a e90 with aluminum wheels, especially a black one. It flows. If anything, black out the bottom half of the trim, it'll look clean.

kdbryce · 08-19-2012, 04:02 PM

looks awesome. rear looks bad ass as fuck with the CSL and diffusor.

only thing that would make it better is LCI tails and shadowline trim.

looks great how it is

JDane07 · 08-19-2012, 06:15 PM

Is that a SonicTuning CSL trunk?

Powashiftin · 08-19-2012, 06:40 PM

What's the lip on the front bumper?

I also responded to your pm, but for the sake of anybody else reading this I'm running 225/35 front and 265/30 rear. Rolled the rears. May go up to 235/35 and 275/30.

Thanks! If I find a good enough deal on LCI CSL deck lid and tails I might

Actually it's an Exotics Tuning deck lid. I think they discontinued it but you can still find them

Its a studie rep. I think it really finishes the pre-LCI Mtech front better than anything else
