Three Photos...Enjoy

Went to my friend and sometimes colleague's studio/garage and did some light painting on the car.

He's a master of the composite photo, I just lit some of it...haha.

I like the detail, but honestly, I'm not a fan of lowered suspensions. Looks like the shocks gave out.

Agree! I'm down with hiding the top of the tread but this goes past the side wall. My M wouldn't last 1 commute like this. Car looks very clean though!

I guess some other members haven't been reading up on your builds. This is not a $27,000 M3 that we hope the seller will let go for $25,500 lol, It's a high dollar drive able piece of art.

Haha, hey...car's up for sale after next show season. If I can't find someone to buy it fully modded, I'll be parting it out.

Thank you, man. It's drivable as hell! I do not drive any less fully than I did when it was stock, plus...I can lift the nose to get in or out of difficult driveways

Powdercoating and polishing some of the parts! It's only going to be on when I need it, though...hahaha.

I don't understand how you can already have a plan to sell. You have OMD.. obsessive mod disorder.

Congrats on the SC! Hope to see some videos from you!

Definitely! And, the only place I can go from here (after the supercharger) is mods that would be undoable (widebody, mostly). I definitely don't want to do that...haha.

That last pic is perfection, just stunning. Looks like it belongs in a magazine or something.

Beautiful car man. Thanks for sharing!

I'm not sure what you're going for here. There is nothing "wrong" with that. My opinion was OP's car sits too low to enjoy on a road. My preference is about 1" lower than stock, which covers just to the top of the tire. This is my opinion and not a fact. The fact is this is all subjective and there is no "correct" way to do your car up. If you meant to ask why I don't want to see the top of the tread.....we'll because that's as low as you can go and drive your car in public and on the track without being too low and hitting everything on the road.

A few button presses on the air ride controller and he could be driving around with tire tread showing.....
