Is it just me, or does a pile of new car parts just excite you?

I love getting car parts, except for the whole draining my wallet part.

Yea it will be low now. But i cant put it back on the ground until i get my new tires mounted. I am going with a slightly taller tire. I am going from a 215/35 to a 215/40.

I love my brakes from Lee, but have been missing some of the wheels I used to be able to run. Looks like your setup will be very close to what I have on the 'vert. It will make it an entirely different car.

Oh Em Gee. That's gonna be a sick setup, can't wait to see it done.

What front Valence is that? The part that goes on the stock bumper and adds depth to it? Been driving me nuts, can't find it on any site.

10-12-2009, 07:56 PM

The kit is OEM bmw M Tech II
