CarbonGS' GS3 Evolving Too!
Haha, as stated in the GS4 thread that I have going, I am preparing the GS3 for some changes for in time to debut at the World of Wheels Birmingham next weekend. I saw what Automan has done so I needed to step up my game. He is a great team mate and always drives me to do more and more! 
Well, after lots of time and consideration this is what I've done thus far. The projects should be finished next Tuesday night just in time to roll out next Thursday monrning to roll into the World of Wheels.
Here's a little teaser!
lol you know me, look at my screen name! I needed more carbon!
ok, enough with the comedics, here are the rest of the pics for your viewing pleasure. Once again, nothing is completely finished. give me some time to finish it all up before criticizing about cleanliness etc... lol. i love you guys!
The wood grain i purchased from a member here serves as an extra set and i decided to wrap it all up in carbon. make my interior flow with my exterior.
now, before you say anything about this center piece, take into mind that i am using the middle section for my nitrous toggles (activation and purge). the area where the middle piece meets the side pieces will be sanded flat and painted gloss black to create sort of a seam.
i got a graduation present out of the blue from my mom and dad. i've been asking for an in dash dvd player for years, back to when i had my m3. i guess persistance pays off! lol. i got what i wanted and more. my parents have always been supportive of my mods and they definitely surprised me with this one. very rarely do i get something my parents buy so that makes it extra special!
pioneer avic d3 FTW!!!
The beginnings of my new trunk set up
Up under the hood. got most of the plastic pieces, my intake and intake heat shield painted gloss black. (Thanks Bucky!) I have an HKS cam gear that i will be putting on as well, that's why there's a cut out on my stock exhaust cam gear.

Here you can see where my Bucky got creative with some paint.
I am also getting my pro lex performance exhaust manifold heat shield painted black. after some research i found that it really doesn't do much of a job shielding heat from the intake piping so i decided to create a show piece of it. i cut out a rectangular window so that you can see the headers through the hole. It should add for some good contrast with the black heat shield and the gold headers.
up close idea of it. it is only filler primered right now. not painted yet.
further away
Here are both of my projects side by side!
that is all for now. i'll keep you guys updated
