i believe they made the car more aero dynamic

I bought the Band-Aid brand, so a higher quality mod...they held on really nicely and I have to say that at 130+ mph they gave me about 100lbs worth of downforce

Thanks for the fix Sal

. She drives just fine and the new wheels look sick. Already put 100 miles on her today.

School and my business have me driving all over the place. Back to spending almost $50 a week on gas, I guess. I almost got used to not spending any money on gas those 2 weeks she was out of commission.

Here's a bit of an off-topic question. Do you guys have anyone that lives in Lodi (right off of St Joseph Blvd) that works at your shop? Just wondering because I saw him pull in to the house today and he had an AutoCouture Motoring decal on his rear windshield.

Yupp...you either saw Miguel (sedona 135i) or Anthony (white 330ci).

It's a small world after all. I live in the house right behind Miguel. I was always wondering who's 135 that was in the driveway (I can see it out the window of my room pretty easily :P). Now I know.

Sal@AUTOcouture · 09-03-2010, 08:46 PM

Haha nice! Yeah Miguel's car is one of the shop 135's...its a beast too

Beast might be an understatement

Sal@AUTOcouture · 09-22-2010, 01:46 PM

Sorry for the lack of updates, everybody! We've been up to our noses in work and haven't had time to update this thread nearly as much as I'd like to. We have some awesome projects and plans in the works, so, as usual, expect some of the highest quality and fastest cars on the road to be hittin the streets soon

Sal@AUTOcouture · 09-22-2010, 01:47 PM

To hold you guys over til the projects are complete:

2 Arkym race CF bootlids

335is: JB3 and dual cones. This car really took well to the JB3 and the DCT trans is ridiculous!

2011 M3: fresh off the showroom to us for Avant Garde 310, painted reflectors, matte black front and side grills, H&R springs, JL Motoring front and rear diffusors, and tints

90% there: more coming soon of finished car!!

Scotts 135: Maddad Axel back, Agency Power Midpipe, OEM E93 M3 front sway bar

Bart@AUTOcouture · 09-27-2010, 04:01 PM

Project Mini Z4 ACM Style

Happy owner

Sal@AUTOcouture · 10-15-2010, 04:43 PM

Been kinda slow here lately...I apologize guys :/ It's been super busy lately and haven't been able to compile stuff in an orderly manner to post!

Here's some fresh inventory:

19x9,5 and 19x11 Avant Garde M310 wheels in flat black and Matte Black VMR V701 in a less aggressive setup (19x8,5/ 19x9,5)

Also on the horizon....As some of you know we recently got the american bug and picked up a 2011 Mustang GT

Only 1 pic for now, but a full set coming as soon as I get them uploaded

STAY TUNED...this thing is a BEAST!

Bart@AUTOcouture · 10-29-2010, 07:40 PM

I think we need a fall MEET. Who's down?

But I guess on a smaller scale since I dont have a lot of space. But I would def be down for this.

Sal@AUTOcouture · 11-01-2010, 10:47 AM

That's a great idea.

Sal@AUTOcouture · 11-02-2010, 10:11 AM

Looks like the Fall Meet is going to be pretty big

3002 tii · 11-02-2010, 10:57 AM

Speaking of Fall meets, are you guys hitting up the Poker Run?
