Hi All,

I realize that I'm a pretty bad photographer, but here are a few shots of my new toy with its first round of mods. Thanks go out to:

Eric @ PYSpeed for the set of VMR 701's in solar black
JL Motoring for some great parts!

Mods:

Eibach springs with E36 bump stops
JL Motoring VRS front lip and rear diffuser
Painted reflectors
Matte black front and side grills

Round 2:

Software
X-Pipe with HFC
Exhaust
Clutch delay valve
SS lines
Short shift

More to come soon!

Congrats! Your car looks awesome.

Please post a review after you do the Clutch delay valve.

Not too many people run VMR 701s and I don't know why, they look great!!

Car flows very well, good job!

Looks nice.

I don't get why people put the E36 bump stops on, but what the hell to each their own.

gorgeous!

Your looks great. I didn't know JL made a rep rear diffuser. How is fitament on the rear diffuser? Any gaps? Can you PM how much the rear diffuser was?

hoeferland · 07-09-2010, 07:35 PM

I emailed the guys at JL and the made up a custom one for me in a few days. No real gaps or issues, though I'm going to replace the 3M tape with the supplied epoxy in the next week or so. I will PM you more details.

Thanks for the comments guys. A buddy of mine is professional photographer and we're going to setup a time to get a few more shots that do the car justice. Also, the Solar Black finish is hard to explain, but looks even better in person.

Here are a few of the photos with better editing.
