Thought I'd share some pics illustrating my latest mods....
Here's the before shot:
Now, here are a few after shots showing the new OEM aero skirts (source - Tischler BMW) and the reflector/running light deletes (source - IND Distribution):
Update Sept 16, 2012: As of Friday past, latest mods now include H&R coil overs (ride height lowered 1 inch) and Rogue Engineering rear mounts, both installed by Vivid Racing, Gilbert AZ http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/index.php. I'm truly delighted with the results! My objectives were to 1) improve street performance, 2) lower ride height, 3) retain ride quality and 4) not spend a fortune. While I've not yet had a chance to fully test the car's performance, early indications are that it is improved. Ride height has been lowered one inch. If you compare this photo with the second photo in the thread above, you can see the difference. One inch makes a surprisingly big difference in the overall look of the car. I'll wait a couple weeks for the springs to settle before deciding whether to lower more. Ride quality is great and total spend was, IMO, quite reasobable... about half the cost of KW v3. Except for CF grills which will arrive later this week, this completes my phase 1 appearance modifications. Next phase will include exhaust and various engine/drive train mods.
