Took advantage of the beautiful day to clean the car. It hasn't been washed in months, so I took some pics. Will get more in a few weeks once the coilovers get here and I put them on.

Yes. Coilovers and rear subframe reinforcements are on the way. Once they get here and get in, the diff will be getting welded.

im not mad at the height. cuz everything takes time but bruh... that Volvo lookin lip aint bringin the boys to the yard. i like the wheels i just think the lip gotsta go.
you should wait it out till you can cop an M3 front end. then boom you're done. but i'm just opinionated. i cant be mad at you.

The lip is getting removed as soon as the coilovers go on. I'm not a fan on the M3 bumper and cosmetics aren't really priority at the moment. Performance is next, since the suspension will be taken care of. Opinions are welcome. I understand everyone has them, and they differ.

Needs some tint, but the car looks good. I dig the wheels though, something different.

I'm with Dirty Oc, the wheels aren't bad, with the right stance, they could be really sexy. But that lip is not kewl, but cool :camera: and cool car. Overall: :goodjob:

By performance, do you mean setting it up to drift? or go fast? What are the plans?

M3 Bumper, sides, and rear then you will be looking straight.

How wide are the wheels? They look skinny with low offset.

Not worried with the body right now. I don't plan on doing the M3 bumpers and sides. I have some things planned for cosmetics when it gets to that point. As for the wheels, they're 15x7.5 offset +6. They work perfect for me since I'm running a stock M50 and steering rack spacers. This setup also allows for maximum angle without any contact in the front.
