Thanks all ..........

Yes, M6 replicas polished & painted ......

I'm completely OCD with this car and it gets polished & waxed just about every week.

Interestingly, the color is Mirage Metallic, perfect for the desert.

Nice ride ......... most recently I owned a 996 Turbo S before going to the BMW. Just a thought, but a clear bra would do less damage than the nose piece you have on now and the car would look perfect (IMHO).

Just a thought .......

Nah, always liked the 5 spoke & want to keep with the "OEM" type look of the car .......... BBS, DPE & HRE would be my next choice, but they're too played out on these cars.

Cluck the wing too while you're at it and it'll look much better.

LOL ........ it's OEM on this model. M3 rear deck spoilers are beat to death too. If the spoiler sat higher then I'd agree with you, but the profile isn't that of a cheesy Civic.

Yes, smart. Keep it authentic. OEM is OEM for a reason. The car will get you as far as the parking lot, spend the rest on paying down your mortgage or buying nice suits.

I gotcha, yours is cool because nobody has it.

Do you have a link to details of how you detail? The shine is very impressive, less so the vanity plate.

House is paid for, but the gf might as well be a mortgage in "her"self ........

Yeah, got lots of sh*t for the plate ........... I typically track the car & have yet to find an M3 that that can hang with me. I have a website, but not sure if posting a link is acceptable here. Here's a link to some of the cars I've worked on recently: http://picasaweb.google.com/ShadeTre...N7y6u-hqKyHnAE Mods can remove this if deemed inappropriate ...
