Al came to us with a bone stock 335i looking for some nice performance and styling upgrades. One of the first things he told us was that he didn't really know much and this was one of the first cars he was going to be modding. Well he did a very good job on this one!
The first thing he purchased from us was a set of Volk Progressive ME, sized 19x8.5 and 19x9.5. We wrapped those in a set of Hankook Ventus V12 tires and installed them on his car. They looked great, but than he looked at me and said, "I think it needs to go lower". Luckily one of his friends was parting out his E90 and sold him a set of KW coilovers. With the help of our friends IND, the KW coilovers, along with a Helix Intercooler and AFE DCI, was installed. After this Al brought the car over to Eurocharged for a stage 2 tune to really add some power.
The finishing touches were added with 35% window tint, headlight covers, and Carbon front and rear Roundels.
We met up with him recently and I took some photos! This thing hauls around town and looks great doing it. Rumor has it this thiing will be seeing track time in the near future as well :happyanim:
Thanks Al!
