No problem at all. The installation went pretty smoothly. The only glitch was the plastic pins that is holding the sunroof cover in place. It took us a while to get all four back in place.

Looks great mang... congrats!!

Park2670 · 04-26-2008, 11:22 PM

Wow, I expected the headliner to be $1k or more...

Looks great!

Yeah, it's one of those prepainted ones, so can't expect too much on color match. However, this is a temporary one as I patiently wait for my Vorsteiner trunk

BaLLzZz · 04-27-2008, 12:43 PM

Someone pm me a price on the headliner please thank you.

Hunter399 · 04-27-2008, 01:09 PM

Nice Kev

Congrats on the new car...enjoy it

kamek · 04-28-2008, 08:08 PM

great color choice! car is looking good

A couple updates: (Courtesy of Luxury Details, Framingham, MA, and Unique Custom Exhaust, Burlington, MA)

1. DiMisa 4" Exhaust Tips - fills out the void in the rear bumper nicely
2. Black Carbon Hamann Style Front Lip - adds a touch of sportiness to the coupe, fitment is very good and installation was a breeze, but this is a temp solution until I get the full front replacement
3. Bimmian painted reflectors - paint matching is ok

Next step will be more body work, finish up the interior with CF trim / accents, wheels, and coilovers

Queenskid24 · 05-02-2008, 09:06 PM

Dimisa tips are SEXY!!!!!!!!!!!

So which front are you going to end up with?

cgillio · 05-03-2008, 07:20 AM

You might have better chance seeing me at BMC at around 10 at night. I spend most of my days there

johnnymu · 05-03-2008, 10:07 AM

damn, I was planning to do hamann front bumper

I'll guess this will let me wait for your pix and review.

The only problem that I worry about is that the bumper is made of FRP and it might crack when hit......

whoa, it's fiberglass? didn't know that. Either way if you get hit('knock on wood'), you gotta fix the bumper, whether it's fiberglass or plastic. It's easy to fix fiberglass, but you're right that crack could always return though. GL

Hopefully I'll never have to find out. I like the quad fog design with two fog lights and two LED driving lights that I can use as DRLs.

I'm still waiting for the black CF trim to come in from Germany to finish off the rest of the interior though. For the interior I still have:

1. Black CF trim
2. Black CF M5 knob + wiring (I didn't forget you guys)
3. Black CF e-brake handle
4. Leather shift boot & e-brake boot (got a surprise there, will reveal later, probably will generate some controversy)
5. Tint, most likely F1 Pinnacle 35% sides and back

After that, I'll just wait for EAS to release their long anticipated video module.

cgillio · 05-03-2008, 09:04 PM

Wow Kev

Your wasting no time getting your car modded.

What is this EAS video module?

Yeah, trying to squeeze in as much mod time as possible coz in patient medicine is 6 days a week.

The EAS video module is a TV Tuner / Video input module that directly interfaces with iDrive that EAS says is under development and close to being released.
