Good to see your still crushing it man, im still loving your hood by the way people compliment it all the time. I ended up replacing the old mesh with some nice new stuff, came out great

Have you thought about beveling the front of the acrylic so it looks more "finished"?

just so you know the bumper wasnt bolted on, thats why it looked like that. Just saying...

Looks like your car sits in pieces in your driveway more then it's on the road getting wind.

3750xMikey · 05-28-2014, 10:52 AM

nice

dbudh001 · 06-01-2014, 12:56 AM

With all these mods , even if they were all DYIs. This is no longer a poor mans m3 build. I can say you have far exceeded the cost if a M3 todo all that you have thus far.

Tiago@VRSF · 06-17-2014, 08:54 AM

He did it all himself, it's definitely still under the cost of the car

Sinse you've disassembled both E92 and F30 hedlights do you think F30 'angel eyes' will fit E92 headlight?
