Sorry everyone for the lack of progress. I havent done much to the car, mostly just preparing for stuff to come. I had to order a few batches of parts from Phil@ReevesBMW to finish it up. Hopefully I have all of the small parts to finish the build now.

The car is going to LA this weekend where the backend work will start. It will be another two weeks after that before the car will be all finished and painted.

I fit the Front HRE's on the car. The car looks a little high because I have not moved the car since i jacked it up and changed the wheels. It should sit a little lower after I drive it a little and the suspension evens.

Removing the old centerbore spacers that came with the Forgestar F14's was a pain. I had to hammer one off and cut the second one off before I could fit the HRE's. The HRE's fit perfectly and they look amazing. I cannot to see them on the car when it is painted.

I thought about it, but am going to keep it alpine white 3. Its easy to maintain, looks great. If anything, I would get a full wrap which I could be a bit more radical with.

Let me know if you end up wanting a wrap. I got a vinyl hookup around here as well lol. Only reason I haven't done it is because I'm a lease and would be pointless for me.

If you want any parts off my old set up, let me know. I am looking to clear up space and I will hook you up very well.

I have some barely used hankook rs-3's in 255/35/18 (they still have the ribs on the flame details on them) and a second set of them that are probably around %40-50..

Dinan Axelback - sounds amazing. Im going to sell it as a full bolt on set up so no need to chop. I have the ceramic black coated version.

CF Diffuser - this was on my car for like 8-10k miles. it has a few dings on it which can be repaired or left alone. They are not visible when the diffuser is installed.

08-10 TPMS - available to sell if someone buys the tires

Stock Parts all alpine white:
Msport bumper
Trunk w/ lip
Hood
Full Suspension w/ 20k miles
Stock headlight brackets - great for anyone who has had a front end damage
Stock headlight washer fluid reservoir
Stock Intercooler
Stock Chargepipe
Headlight washer system - Complete


I have other odds and ends too.
