Z4MC Modifications Update

When I purchased my '07 Z4MC a few years ago, it was a bone stock, one owner car with 17K miles. Since then, I've been slowly (budget constrained) chipping away with modifications to improve the car's look/feel/handling. Most recently, I added the MStache 2 front splitter. I now have about 25K miles on the car. I don't track it, but I do enjoy spirited weekend drives with the local Z club. After three years of ownership, I'm still passionately in love with the car! Here are a couple before/after pics. Hope you like what I've done...

Don't believe anyone who says aero skirts are wasted on a black car. They're not :D

Admittedly, the aero skirts are sometimes not as noticeable in photos of my black car (see below) as they are -- for example -- on dubsesd's silver, but I believe they still constitute a big improvement in the car's appearance and are a good bang for the buck.

The aero skirts are BMW optional parts for the E85/86. I purchased mine through http://www.getbmwparts.com. The skirts are currently selling on their website for $245 each side. Scroll down on the following page to learn more...

I purchased the fiberglass splitter through a group buy on the ZPost Forum. Each part is separately hand made in the US and there's a lengthy waiting list. I had to wait about a year for mine to be delivered (cost about $300 for delivery in the US). Not sure if overseas delivery is an option. See the following link to learn more...

That's a good photo of it Adam- now then that front splitter? :evil: would look good on yours
 
Thanks for all the kind words, everyone. I developed my end-vision for the car and got many specific ideas from members of this forum, so in a way it's a group project! :)
