smithf80 · 01-31-2015, 04:21 AM

Wow this is nize.

BradZditosky · 02-01-2015, 12:32 AM

looking good!

GOS7 · 02-01-2015, 07:01 PM

Awesome OP, subscribed. Do you think fabing the front and rear fenders will be cheaper than going with E90 M3 front and rear fenders?

BennyMalino · 02-02-2015, 10:58 AM

So much want! Looks great OP!

Subbed for more progress. This is the way it should be done, not some crazy 1 week transformation Frankenstein fender job.

Looking good can't wait to see more!

Putting a quarter panel on a car is no easy task and I was after something different that's never been attempted before. And this is quite a bit wider then an oem e90 M3 panels... Hard to tell in pictures, but put this next to an stock e90 and it doesn't even look like the same car. Wish everyone was close enough to see the car in person.

What I did Saturday all day... Reworked the front fenders. Just wasn't satisfied with the body lines connecting the front bumper and fenders so sanded off my body work and started again. Got them ready for primer and I've decided to make a few changes to the front bumper also which I've yet to make. Nothing is bolted in so the fitment in the pictures doesn't look right but after a few more days of work on the front the entire car will be ready for paint.

How about a few pics of that "tri-5" in the next bay?

Eagle1oh7 · 02-02-2015, 08:48 PM

Nice! Can't wait to see the finished product! I'd love a wide body kit for my car!

Hokie_BMW · 02-02-2015, 11:02 PM

Having seen the progress be done on this car in person over the past months, the work really is top notch and it's going to look sweet when it's done.

I'll lend you my e92 so you can work up a wide body kit for it next Conner lol

Sub'd. I'm on the edge of my seat. It's gonna look MEAN!

buzzard · 02-03-2015, 11:08 PM

I vote for a lighter color so we can see all the features and curves a little better.

Haha, it wasn't too hard to take a cut off wheel to my rear quarters because I drove it for a couple months with rubbing 285's in the rear so I was ready for a change.

And everyone else thanks for the compliments!

GabeS · 02-05-2015, 12:07 PM

how many inches does the new over fender/flare add?

Len_Beach · 02-06-2015, 01:16 AM

Fitment without being bolted on is better than some aftermarket bumpers I have seen! lol
