not feeling it. at all.

m3 conversions never come out good

blueaudi18 · 05-10-2010, 12:42 PM

it's only held on by painter's tape for now so i dont exspect you to but please tell me why... the flare is to much?

DJKhan85 · 05-10-2010, 12:48 PM

I think it's too much flare. Knock it down to about half that and it would look nice.

creaminz · 05-10-2010, 01:01 PM

Sorry but is that M3 fender? Or custom? Looks more wider than M3s.

PaulBailey@ltbmw · 05-10-2010, 01:05 PM

Haters.
Do your thing man. As long as your lose the M6 reps and run like a 12" rear wheel it should look alright.

kgb1637 · 05-10-2010, 01:06 PM

Sorry, that way too much flare.

front are oem m3 fender, rear are custom...

SpmnE9zero · 05-10-2010, 01:14 PM

I agree with other dude. I think if you cut that flare depth in half it would look great! Any more than that and it is really just overkill imho.
Is there any way to just shave off some of it?
On the other hand it is your car, do it up man!

Iron Rob · 05-10-2010, 01:14 PM

Khai, you can make it work if you do it right. You'll need some serious dish in the rear. Ballpark: like 19x12 et0 or something crazy. Good luck, you're crazy!

SpmnE9zero · 05-10-2010, 01:16 PM

I will say this - I hope you saved some pennies for those rear wheels!
I wonder what your resale value will be after all this?

daheechang · 05-10-2010, 01:16 PM

this is going to look awesome imo in the end. wider than the m3? even better imo. if you can get some nice wheels to fill up that gap, damn this thing is going to be SEXY. good luck w/ the rest of the build and keep us posted on teh progress!!!!!

i like the M3 GT2 status. do the fronts while you're at it.

atlxkevinx · 05-10-2010, 01:25 PM

Hurry up and finish it already!

And get some nice aggressive wheels.

daheechang · 05-10-2010, 01:32 PM

where did you get the widebody fenders? if this turns out well and price is right, there might be a huge market for this on e90post

Ph0zenstone · 05-10-2010, 01:32 PM

DAMN you are realling going all out on this car...

Can't wait to see the end results. Props to u.

DimSum · 05-10-2010, 02:01 PM

Damn. If this ends up looking nice, I swear the rear would look EFFING AMAZING.

crajee · 05-10-2010, 02:02 PM

Fenders in the rear look too flared to me, but if you like it DO IT! good luck with the conversion
