I'll tell you what was one of the best mods I've done thus far. It was painting those FUGLY yellow reflectors on the front bumper. What a difference it makes not having that yellow reflector there. BMW made a huge mistake by planting those in that spot. Here's what I'm talking about...

Yup those orange reflectors are pretty bad. They are the same on my sister's M3. She is getting them painted.

MacFly, I've been meaning to ask you how those lower mirror covers fit and looks like they didn't turn out too well. Why didn't you tell me??? I'll refund you the money man. I never opened them when I got them from MyProjectCars (as you can probably tell since I just slapped the shipping label over the MPC box). I was promised that they were test fitted before they were shipped to me. Can you take some close up shots of them?
T - don't sweat it bro, it's all good! i too have been meaning to update you, but not to ask or expect a refund.

i have it installed and gonna turn to Trinity, seems as if the fitment is perfect. C - can you pls confirm the fitment pls?

here are some close up pix. sorry, i got a bit carried away with the new camera.lol

Let me take some more pix of mine tomorrow and we can compare. Mine are not perfect, but they are definitely A LOT better than the pictures you just posted. Everyone who has seen them in person and up close always says they look amazing. Nobody has said anything about the fitment, so that's a good sign. I'll shoot you some better pix tomorrow.

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!
