My JB 135i w/ exterior mods, what should I do next?

madostrich · 10-03-2010, 10:12 PM

Tint
BMW Performance Shadowline Grills
BMW Performance Spoiler
iCarbon Rear Diffuser
iCarbon Front Lip
Matte Black Shadow Badges

miiipilot

miiipilot · 10-04-2010, 11:58 AM

Looks great too

Kamal · 10-04-2010, 12:06 PM

Car looks great! I'd suggest smoked sidemarkers, maybe lightly smoked tails/brakelight, and black and white roundels. Where did you get the black shadow badge from, and what % is that tint?

iCARBON DESIGN · 10-04-2010, 12:06 PM

Looks great!! Keep up with the clean-look and just do a moderate drop

Cosmetic: BMW Performance brakes?

Got 'em on sale.

Love the car so far!

I know a guy selling some sick DPE wheels that would look hooooot on there!

madostrich · 10-04-2010, 02:27 PM

Thanks for all of the compliments guys! Dan, I'll probably order some rotors fromyou, but I might just paint my calipers red instead of buying the BMW Performance Brake Kit. (still kicking myself for not buying that Corsa exhaust).....I think I'd rather spend the money on suspension components.....

Last night I saw a blacked out 135i with Gunmetal VMRs and red calipers.... I was sooooooo jealous!

I wish iCarbon had mirror cap replacements for MY10 and up.... I'd be all over those, but $500 for the OEM performance parts is just a bit too much money for me.

S54dan · 10-04-2010, 02:49 PM

I'm sure iCarbon will come out with them.

Additionally, I've still got 1 Corsa/UUC exhaust for sale.. same price still applies.

I'm sure nick @ Jlevisw can hook you up on some suspension components.. or yours truly.. either way, it's looking awesome bud!!!

3onDubs · 10-04-2010, 04:09 PM

Looks good man....I would suggest these (everyone's taste is different):

- ditch the front plate
- CF bmw emblems (hood, trunk, center caps on the wheels)
- Smoked side markers
- Eibach springs

The tint is 30% I believe, and I bought the badges from a 1addicts member, but you can order them from http://www.jlevistreetwerks.com/

I wish I could ditch the front plate... they are pretty quick to write tickets for that in Los Angeles....

It's usually more of a "tack on" ticket or an excuse to pull you over, I've had one in the 10 years I've been driving in socal (was only a $10 fix it), but I'm out in OC so it might be different. Most people will leave them on for everyday driving and take them off for photo shoots.

M3Newbie88 · 10-04-2010, 05:17 PM

Drop first... then side skirts and lastly Rims!!!!

Sidh135i · 10-04-2010, 06:04 PM

great mods!

madostrich · 10-04-2010, 07:33 PM

does anyone know if the replacement roundels would actually fit the 135i??? I was under the impression that the boot roundel was not 'standard' size and so most people use overlays as a result..... anyone know the real deal?

All show no go, get some power mods on that sucker

cozza · 10-04-2010, 09:05 PM

Looks great.

I don't really understand why people blur out their number plates. It's not like they're not on display for the whole world to see when you're driving around...
