gave the ride a makeover (pics)

jigga · 04-14-2011, 12:57 AM

Hey Guys,

I took my car out of hibernation a week ago and last weekend, got her some new clothes

Just thought I'd share some pics... I added the OEM front lip, m3 side skirts and an m3 lip spoiler.

The car wasn't clean because it rained on the weekend, but let me know what you think!

car looks good..just not a fan of the off centered plate....doesn't look balanced IMO...

It can be removed easily. That's the best part about it.

thanks. i didnt want to make holes in my bumper for the license plate...that's why i went with that plate holder as it attaches to the tow hook.

icandie · 04-14-2011, 07:08 AM

love the side skirts. i want them so badly but they look better on a white car - shows the lines more...
those are dark tints!!
car looks great!

Looks really good.......other than that plate.

sathees siva · 04-14-2011, 07:58 AM

But they would be hidden by the plate.

Kid Eh · 04-14-2011, 08:23 AM

Center the plate for sure. Not a fan of the vented rear bumper. Looks cheap to me.

triggz · 04-14-2011, 08:33 AM

Does the vented rear bumper look cheap on a 997 turbo? Cuz it comes stock with one.

Damn. That is a very nice setup.

I think I have seen your car twice around Warden & Finch area.

Hey genius he asked for our opinions. Is his car a 997? Does the 335 come with vents in the bumper? Also the 997 is a rear engine car and those vents serve a purpose there.

peanuboy · 04-14-2011, 09:01 AM

like:

front, side, rear, quad tips, diffuser

don't like:

plate position, vented bumper, doesnt look right on our cars where on other cars like the 997 turbo then it's different

and...

c'mon, time to put the summer wheels back on!

Havok_2011 · 04-14-2011, 09:04 AM

Very nice! Whats tint do you have?? 15%??

I agree with the other guys about the plate on the side......back to the center!!!

Beautiful though...I need to get me those side skirts

Me_Hi · 04-14-2011, 09:53 AM

So its ok to have a Vorsteiner vented hood but not bumper? OP don't take it personally, this forum is all about mtec. Anything else they dislike...all their cars look the same more or less.....

lol... i suppose so.

looking at it closely, i do see what you guys mean by it looking off balance. i will have to take your opinions into consideration.

Whatever you say.... None of them look very different.
Vented hood serves a purpose. Vents behind rear wheel do not. I don't mind it though.

Yes, the tints are 15%.

As for the side skirts, i had a very good experience dealing with Frank from Fastlane Imports. I received them within about 1 week.

Of course, I did buy the front lip and trunk lip so he gave me a bit of a discount.

They were super easy to install and i'm very happy with the paint match and the fitment. The only thing I'm having trouble with is getting my door sills back on. what a PITA.

no offense taken! like someone said, i did ask for opinions after all and do value them.

Havok_2011 · 04-14-2011, 10:05 AM

Most cars in this forum do look the same...I don't mind the rear bumper looking different with the vents.
