other side fender was painted to because original had damage

VNeBLOB42 · 04-08-2013, 11:17 PM

It's hard to tell, but even from factory the fenders and hood are slightly off due to different materials. Maybe you can have a body shop blend it in? Not really sure how bad it is.

IK6SPEED · 04-09-2013, 02:15 AM

well in the picture its the worst it ever looks, outside you wont notice if u dont know much, but then i always notice it, i would rather not blend as then in case if i do find oem parts my other stuff will be mismatched. its ok for now, but i would like to eventually fix this crap.

Alright Vince, I see your M3 rep + CF lip pics. Looks good. So Sac Auto purchased the parts too? I assume that's not an OEM retro-fit and it's after-market right?

Do you think they would give me a good labor rate if I purchased OEM parts (front/rear bumper, primed) and had them paint/install for me? I'm doing something similar, but the M-sport bumpers and not M-rep. Plus maybe a carbon fiber rear diffuser.

dbjb · 04-09-2013, 01:51 PM

Vince,

Get that cable yet? Wanna hook up sometime soon? I can get the laptop configured and flash done for $50. Coding was more than expected so we can go with your guy if you want. Let me know.

Dan

dbjb · 04-09-2013, 01:52 PM

Tires and wheels?

Anyone want a good set of wheels and tires for the track? I have a set of Kosei and Nitto for sale but want to keep it local. Let me know!

Dan

stashtrey · 04-09-2013, 07:56 PM

I got the flash and coding done as well. Did the corner amber delete, DRL angel eyes, fogs on with brights, fogs and lights on with unlock, unlock when turning engine off, hold stop button in and key pops out, windows/sunroof down/up with FOB, actual speed/velocity digital readout on dash (2-3 mph slower than speedo, hold lock on key and mirrors fold in.

Met Vince and he's a good dude. Hope to attend one of the meet ups and meet some of you guys. I'm new to the BMW scene. Slowly tweaking my 08 335xi sedan.

In recently put koni sports with H&R sport springs. Definitely dumped in the rear.

Vince's front bumper/lip is sick. Confirmed.

Anyone done Hooked on Driving? Epic program. Highly recommend.

stashtrey · 04-09-2013, 07:57 PM

Oh....sunroof closes with rain sensor.

Cheers! Hope to meet you guys sometime soon.

It doesn't hurt to ask. I purchased the parts from JG mods. The M3 bumper is a replica, With carbon fiber lip to match. Since it is aftermarket the body shop had to do a little bit of tweaking to make the lip fit perfectly or as good as it could. I would suggest getting a quote from JG mods or your preferred vendor, Then get a quote from David at Sacramento autobody, For installation and paint. Then asked David if he could order the parts for you and see if he can get a little better deal. I think he will give you a package deal instead of a labor rate but either way I think he can give you what you want.

I am in bit of a pinch right now. The cable wasn't sent out until April 6. I still have Todd's cable but I need to return it this week but I also still have the laptop which IT just told me they needed back. I may be able to squeeze out one more day with Todd's permission with the cable, I can tell my IT department that I forgot The laptop again. Let me see if Steven is available tomorrow if you like Try it then? Sent you a text. Let me know

Not bad at all. I need to bring it by so you can give it a whirl. I would like your opinion. I can feel the shifts from 3-4 and 4/5 in WOT much faster. The new display is great!
