It is a beautiful M3, but they are a dime a dozen. Atleast here in Cali. Your ride is just so clean and has very tasteful mods that if you really wanted to make it a head turner, get the JP kit (if youdont have it yet...) and paint that bad boy.

Buy July I can actually get you a pic of that color on a gs3, I met a guy who normally comes out to the shows who owns a spectra blue gs3 and I spoke to him a couple weeks ago at DUB and he was telling me he painted his car this same color and was getting it out the shop soon. I say July cuz that the next big show I'll see him at. He's not a member on CL so next time I see him I could get you pics.
My opinion, the jp kit is very nice , we know it looks nice on silver from seize's brothers car. I took this route and normally suggest to people to go the cosmetic route. Get the car to look great outside than work on the inside(interior,turbo,SC,trunk) But I can't lie , This motor is music to my ears, candy to my eyes and food for my hunger of speed. So I vote do the GTE swap on your list 1st. You won't regret it.

Cody, you already have a lot of the cosmetics down, HRE, JP, etc. But the GTE with twins will put you on a whole other planet. I mean opening up the hood and seeing all that goodness is just Of course you will want a bbk to go with it, maybe AP racing or Stoptech
BTW, what color are your headlights painted. I really need to know

I know that the handling is already there so more power is nice. But on the second hand since gas here is over 3.50/gallon for 92 octane, then maybe a body kit, drop, paint, and wheels, might pay itself off in a couple of years as compared with getting FI'd. for the GS. My last check had me at 12.9 mpg.
