VO with Akra & KW pics

Here are some pics of my VO that I recently had serviced at Alekshop:

Akrapovic full evolution exhaust system with downpipes and wireless kit and titanium tips (first pic shows the stock exhaust)
KW V3-1M coilover kit
FMIC with new charge pipe (not pictured)

These were my Christmas present to myself. And if you live in Nor Cal and/or want an Akra install done meticulously, Aleks is the man - you can also see his white 1M in a few of these pics. Thanks to Mark for taking the great pictures and allowing me to share them. Enjoy!

Congratulations and Merry Christmas. I picked up my BSM 1M a couple of weekends ago in So. Cal. and like what you have done with yours. I live in San Mateo and work in Palo Alto, so it would be great to catch up in person sometime.

Sounds good. I have actually yet to see a BSM 1M in person. Shoot me a PM with your contact info if you want to meet up sometime. I often take 280 up to San Mateo and then cut down Skyline to Page Mill. It's a great route - in fact I did that yesterday for the first time since installing the new exhaust and suspension.

PM me your email address and I'll send it to you. I don't want to bog down the thread with the bigger file size images.

Looks great! Pictures are awesome! I'd be interested in a Bay Area meet or maybe another Dyno day if Aleks wants to host it at his shop or something!

thanks. i'm not sure when the next meet will be scheduled; I'll have to bug Aleks about it. Also, i think Aleks is looking into some Dyno options, so stay tuned on that front.

We can host a meet at the shop ... It would be a good way to start 2012 Right after we can head over to the dyno place which is very close to us ...
