My car is still a work in progress but you guys have got me off to a great start. I bought the mtech front and rear bumpers and the M3 side skirts from you. The guys at the body shop who worked on my car said that these are probably the best aftermarket, (non OEM) body pieces they've ever seen or worked with. I'm extremely happy with how my car has turned out so far.

I also just got my wheels back from the powdercoater - they'll be sporting some new Hankooks and get mounted here in the next few weeks. Thanks again JGMods and BETZ Autobody in south Pittsburgh.

Don't stop there -- order some suspension parts!

[harendre7201]

[wdeerfield]

After the wheels, invest another couple hundred in some springs and the car will look amazing.

While we're on the subject...
I'm a little confused, I could use an honest opinion.
I've considered suspension upgrades for a while now. It's an expensive mod, and my car is an xi so that makes it a little more difficult as far as knowing what exactly to buy.
My car is also a daily driver and the roads here are absolutely horrible.
We have the worst of all worlds - bad winters and crazy steep hills which makes for some ridiculous road conditions.

I don't want to damage my body work, and I don't want to sacrifice ride quality...yet I always hear that the performance aspect of a lowered suspension makes a big difference in the driveability of the car.

If I were to do this - is it better to just save up and do the full on coil over since it's (supposedly) adjustable...or is it possible for me to just do the springs in the front since it's an xi, and get the slightly lower stance and not really sacrifice the ride quality?

I may be totally off and not know what I'm talking about with any of this either so I apologize if I am.

Thanks for the input.

[JLee83]

Thank you for all the comments - I sincerely appreciate it.

I have an appointment to get the windows tinted next...I've also recently installed a Sprint Booster, I bought an mtech steering wheel, and I'm looking for an air intake system. I have my eye on an exhaust as well. I like the Remus Race exhaust right now but as you guys know - this hobby can really beat up your savings account.

[NJ330i]

It looks great and with the rims it will look even better

[skate_E92]

i have been curious about these non oem mtech parts.. they look really good!

[slumdoug]

Post up the post-tint pics. Curious how this will look. I've held off on tinting my Barbera Red, I kinda like seeing the cream interior as contrast to the dark body.

[Projekt_BooGie]

man that color is so nice!!!!! Looks great!!
