Wheels are on! Brakes and trunk lid go on next week and then finally the Akrapovic system

Looks amazing in person and fit and finish of the wheel are top notch! Will take proper photos tomorrow. Crappy iPhone pic for now.

Mike, I'm as usual late to the party. Hard to keep up with everything on TS! I really dig what you've done to your newest toy! I recently saw the one that was done by Nate and the guys at iND at the Bimmerfest and it's a BEAST! I posted pictures in the other thread that he started. Maybe seeing that will give you some ideas for yours as well. It's truly stunning in person.

Keep us posted on your M3 "project." I can't wait to see how it looks when it's all "finished" although I have a feeling that won't be for long.

Hi Mo, leaving the height as it is. It already struggles getting over some of our gigantic speed bumps.

It's because they're not on

If the body shop could hurry up with my mounting trunklid!!! I will get the car on Tuesday

For now, my full Akrapovic system is here! Just no car to mount them on

This system is so light. I could pick up the whole box one handed! It's insane!! Almost doesn't feel real.
