My car needed a serious wash after yesterdays all day meet, so I spent most of the morning washing her down and cleaning her up. Since I haven't really taken any pix, since getting her a few weeks ago, I decided to pull over and snap a few.

A few more exterior mods are on order, but after that, the rest will be performance mods only. I realized yesterday that a new exhaust is a must. So much for thinking stock was going to cut it!

Damn Calton, she looks like is a beast - in a very good way

Btw, I noticed that you followed-up on my vote with the CF M5 badge.
It goes well with the rest of your CF details, IMHO.
Wheels look hot man.

Calton, you deserve it buddy! You just need to take it to a BMW/Skip Barber driving school and learn how to handle a car of this caliber...No offense to you...It's a compliment to your car...It is a BEAST!!!

BTW, your Carbon Fiber details are phenom...In person, its even more impressive!

BTW, very disappointed that you wore sneakers this weekend.

C, the ride is beautiful. Did you imagine before getting the ultimate beast that stock wouldn't be enough? Have fun!

H&R springs aren't cutting it. You need KW coilovers V3. For the exhaust, I recommend RPI section 3.
