TUN3D 135i build (1M Conversion)
Thanks to ilikebmxbikes, Sk8fe, Venom, EINSER M, Mybad135, Tony135, uberschnell, and a few others for answering my questions in regards to this project. Not reinventing the wheel here, just another boring 1M conversion -- haha! Hopefully some of the pics will help the next guy in line -- so lets get to it.
Note: I broke this build into different sections/threads. The page was getting so big that even I had trouble following or finding things at times. This conversion has many phases. I've done my best to group them in a manner which is easy to understand and navigate. Navigation: Conversion & Parts List • Home Page & Main Build Thread < • Front • Rear & Quarters • Battery & Exhaust • Ducts & PPK2 ////////////////////////////////////////////// PREFACE =========================  This is the goal. I want to get as close to this as possible... ////////////////////////////////////////////// Aug/'14 =========================    ////////////////////////////////////////////// Aug/'14 =========================          ////////////////////////////////////////////// Sep/'14 - BODY WORK =========================        ////////////////////////////////////////////// Sep/'14 - PAINT =========================      ////////////////////////////////////////////// Oct/'14 - BACK TOGETHER =========================          ////////////////////////////////////////////// Oct/'14 =========================  ////////////////////////////////////////////// Nov/'14 - NEW WHEELS =========================    ////////////////////////////////////////////// Dec/'14 - HOOD & OTHER =========================      ////////////////////////////////////////////// Dec/'14 =========================    Last edited by TUN3D; 04-15-2015 at 01:28 PM.. |

infinitekid2002 > Ha! Coming man, I didn't think anyone would give 3-shits so soon! I'm going to post some good shit, specifically related to the 1M-DTM/Kerscher front bumper. Stay TUN3D!

awesome! lots of work, my bumper from Kersher came a bit different than yours, no white coating, had grills already installed and came with most of the precut holes as did the lip

infinitekid2002 > I didn't do this myself. Body-shop is on it as we speak.
SfValley335i > Yup. I wonder how these two are related. greensto > The chip was really small. The minute I saw the bumper I knew it was going straight to the shop. I've done fiberglass kits before enough to know that it wasn't going to be a problem. ASPEC135i . Agreed. ===================== More images are coming guys. I did a fitment test myself (which is what you see in my signature), the minute I got the bumper. It was on point. I'll post images of that shortly along with my solution for the ducts. I'm waiting for OSS to wrap up my headlights by Friday morning so I can drop it off for final fitment before paint. Got the blessing from Einser M to go BloodShot! Finish will be over gunmetal with a black-out (shit is gonna be serious).

I35it > No worries, thank you for checking it out! I'll be refining the comments as I go. At the latest I should have the everything back from the body-shop and mounted by Monday/Tuesday.
