Exclamation m3 lip color matched and Installed!!

Yup finally got it back from a great shop here in colorado springs. They normally do BMW and Porche restorations but took on the task of mine, and talk about a perfect match!
*excuse the snow tires and stock rimms. Ive repented for the sin*

trust me! i know!

the sad thing is we were forcasted a 4 day stretch of snow for this week so i got my snow tires put on....hasnt snowed, rained, or even shown any percipitation. its just cruel. if i didnt live on the 3rd floor i would have already switched them back out.


and no.....the all white ones look like camry's to me.
i really like 2 tone on my car....love monotone for dark colors though.

quick photoshop of all what

Very nice work with the lip, congrats!

I guess you must be done for this year as far as modding goes, huh?

Lip looks good. I'm not feeling the all white. Definitely like the V.I.P. look better. Ever think about debaging the trunk ? I think that would look classy and clean IMO

Thanks
yeah the all white would look good with large chrome wheels and a 97-2000 body style. but i like the 2 tone. Debadging isnt really my thing. If i owned a car that was so tricked out people would have no clue what is was....then i would debadge just to screw with em. hehehe
or if i had the es300 on the tail light i would also debadge....but i'll play with it in photoshop and see what it looks like.(*might see a new mod if i like it)

I guess i'm the opposite because I have an 00 and the badge on the tail I decided to leave it alone but if it was on the trunk I would remove it. Only if I had a lighter colored ES but be it that I have a black one I left all badges alone I like the way chrome looks with black anyway. i just think IMO white looks better with nothing else on it.

My .02.! Can't wait to see the chop get to work
