Yeah, planning to take more pics tomorrow afternoon if work is not too crazy

For some reason, it might be placebo effect, the exhaust note changed slightly after the tips were installed. Couple that with the golf tee mod, the exhaust sounds really nice now.

I'll post some as soon as I get my CF interior done

The mats are made by Lloyd and they are great!

Wow, cant wait to see the interior once you completed it. Does the red on the mats match with your red interior? Because form the looks of the pictures it looks just a little off, if not, where could i contact lloyd?. Overall the car is started to look beatuful and unique, congrats.

Update

Some pics:


Stock Xenon with PIAA LED Angel Eyes



Side Profile



4" DiMisa Tips from multiple angles











As you can see above, washed the car today (courtesy of JD of Auto Salon, Winchester, MA) and prepped the car for plastic surgery tomorrow. I'm dropping my car off tomorrow at Luxury Details for:

1. OEM M-Technik rear bumper (RoverActive) with Black CF diffuser (Cyba)
2. Hamann side skirts (Lewis@MWDesign)

NEEZ wheels (Fuji Corporation, Sendai, Miyagi Prefacture, Japan) were shipped from Japan by EMS yesterday so they should be here Friday (hopefully).

The OEM black carbon fiber interior trim is still on back order and Evan is working on getting an ETA for the kit. Meanwhile, next Wednesday the car will be going to Bavarian Performance Group for some much needed work:

1. OEM alarm
2. OEM illuminated doorsills
3. Possible installation of rim and tires with alignment
4. M5 shift knob reinstallation (with a little twist)
5. Forged diverter valve

After this, will tackle the suspension and brakes.

roveractive has Mtech rears

Would those guys who did the SMG knob for you need the knob to work the wiring for it??? I'm interested but I'm on the left coast.

The way these tips sit is 100% deliberate. When my exhaust guy did the tips, we tried different looks and having the tips sit about 1/4" further out than stock looked the best.

Yes they do. You just need to email him and he can send it directly from Germany. I was going to get it from Randy (RRGOO7) but he can only get the one without PDC. Lewis@MWDesign cannot just part out the M-Tech rear.

BPG will be doing the wiring on the M5 SMG knob just like they did on the E90.

Here's an old pic of it lighted up:

Thanks for the advice

I like the slight contrast between the stock 4300K and the LED angel eyes. Might upgrade to 5000K D1S in the future though.

Dropped the car off at Luxury Details today. Currently riding in a stupid Dodge Caliber...... I took a peek at the the side skirts and the rear bumper. They came out flawless and 100% color matched. They will be going on first thing in the morning tomorrow, so expect updated pics tomorrow night.

Can't wait until you're done with it.

Keep up the great work!

All done with the exterior stuff today. I'm glad to be back driving the E92 instead of the Caliber. Couple quick pics with my crappy cell phone:









A couple quirks:

1. Replaced stock knob with the M5 knob and it's fitting looser on the E92 than the E90 (i.e. it spins), but it still looks good. Wiring is scheduled for next week.

2. The carbon fiber diffuser from Derek (Cyba) didn't really fit the rear bumper. We had to sand down the top to actually fit it in. At this point, it is still not fitting 100%.

3. Sorta related to the second point, the DiMisa tips are not sitting right with the new bumper. For some unknown reason, the right side is slightly tilted up and sitting further in compared to the left side. Probably need to go back to the exhaust guy to get this fixed.

I believe ^^ sums it up.
Great work. Looking forward to the black M5 knob.
I'm planning to do some simple mods as well.

If possible, can you take pictures of the interior (with the LED Lights). That's one of my first changes I plan to make.
