BD's Build Thread (Tons of Pics) **UPDATED**
Whats up everyone so I have owned my car a little over a year now, purchased September of 2012 and decided to share its journey so far.. It has mostly been performance mods but there are small subtle cosmetic changes too.. Being it is now the winter months here in NY I am dedicating the spring and summer to transform the car cosmetically.. I will continue to update this thread from now on whenever I do any new things to the car.. Let me know what you guys think
 So this is the first week I bought the car (only thing done was 20% tints all around with windshield strip)    Kept the car pretty much stock until the spring, I put VMR VB3's on the car and the HPF exhaust.. I bent 1 of the wheels in the first month I had them and decided to sell and went back to the stock wheels.. Also could not tolerate how loud the HPF exhaust was so I sold that too and went back to stock.. I drove the car stock for a few months and was itching to start modding again.. I finally saved up enough to go all out on performance mods.. I started with intake and exhaust and went with BMS DCI and got a great deal on an AE exhaust from a local member    Link to my exhaust review (sound clips inside): http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=907580 Then I used plastidip to paint the lower mesh grill and definitely was happy with the way it came out   Then I tuned it with the Open Flash Tablet and got impatient waiting for new maps so I switched over to the JB4  This past September I splurged on the rest of my bolt on parts and ordered the VRSF xi downpipes, Helix FMIC with the lower chargepipe upgrade, and the ER long version chargepipe.. The shop I used was MNC Performance in Oceanside NY..    Also in September I was on the boards and came across a thread from a local shop to me ONEighty Customs who specializes in led angel eye retrofits.. They were having a september black out special sale and my girlfriend saw me reading the thread and decided she would get me an early Christmas present.. So I made my appointment and got a full black out with led angel eyes.. I have to say this is probably my favorite mod to the date..     My most recent change was switching out to my winter wheels which are ASA JH-3 17x8 with Bridgestone Blizzaks..   **UPDATE** 12/26/13 5000k BMS HID Fog Lights Before:  After:    Other great news is a local shop is partially sponsoring a set of custom Work Wheels for me, they should be here in 7-10 weeks  I am not going to spoil what wheels they are but all I will say is they from their Emotion series

UPDATE 12/26/13
My girlfriend bought me 5000k BMS HID Fog Lights for Christmas Other great news is Ravspec a local wheel shop is partially sponsoring a set of custom Work Wheels for me, they are the largest east coast distributor for Work and I highly recommend any east coast guys that are into Japanese wheels.. They are 18x9.5+30 all around and they should be here in 7-10 weeks I am not going to spoil what wheels they are but all I will say is they from their Emotion series
