Very impressive. I have never been a big fan of MB, but you pull it off very well. Nice tent BTW.

What brand wheels are they?

also, some 99 look taillights would really look nice on the car. I love the hood and front bumper. I'll bet your coolant and oil temps never get excessively high.....

Lovely MB. Talk about fully utilizing the huge front openings of this bumper! Awesome.

They look like Tech-5, Demasoni, or something. I usually see them gunmetal-ish color though. For some reason, I always see local M3's running around here with these wheels. I guess BMW offer these wheels exculsively for the M series line...nice stock wheels! In addition, how big is that lip for the rears...60mm? I love it! The Super Rozza HBs I want are 60mm and want to get idea if yours same size too?

Nice hood... I got the same one... and YES Goodfella it's great for keeping the temps low. It allows a ton of heaat to escape. That was MY reasoning behing buying it...

thanks for all the responses, hmm where to begin!

the claybar is "clay magic blue bar" you can get it at autozone for like $10, and the wax was "collinite insulator wax" from carquest. its got meguires DACP polish in there too.

the bumper/hood was bought for the sole purpose of building the vmount and oil coolers along with it, it seemed to have the perfect amount of space for what i was trying to accomplish, and the vents on the hood pretty much right behind the ic. i wanted to make sure i had ample cooling for this project since i was going single turbo, no sense skimping out if i'd come that far already lol it all came together even better than i had planned! ha eventually i would like to figure somthing out to cover the bottom bracket for the vmount, the bumper didn't fit QUITE right like i had originally hoped, but i can definitly live with it. heres a pic of it straight on, not the best pic tho with the glare
