Thanks for the suggestions! I was actually already looking into Techno Violet, Sakhir Orange, and Mexico Blue haha.
Hopefully after "stage 1" is complete it'll be easier to visualize the color. |

Any more pictures of the air suspension? Did you get it custom made, i looked on airex they dont have a kit for the suspension. How much did it come out to without install?
Looks great! |

I'll try to get some pictures up tonight. This is actually the 1st kit (prototype). The great thing about AirRex (full kit) is that it's 100% plug-n-play, so installation was (relatively) a breeze. I believe the kit will retail ~6K with full AirRex digital/wireless management. If you choose to go with Accuair management + AirRex, I believe the price will be more around 5K. Let me know, I'd be glad to help you get in contact with an AirRex rep Last edited by Mitchsays21; 04-23-2015 at 07:46 PM.. |

UPDATE
05.15.2015 Here are a few teaser shots of the rear trunk and hood. We were playing with a few ideas with the hood as the skeleton (underside) limits the area for modification. The ultimate plan with the trunk is to turn the spoiler/duckbill into a 3-piece design. That way it will (hopefully) flow better with the wider and more aggressive rear wide body. Trunk/Hood + front bumper is set to be done by the end of the week We decided to put the front/side splitters on hold for Bimmerfest to avoid having to remake them when I bring the car back in for widebody + rear bumper/diffuser.

Thanks! As much as I should be excited about the trunk/hood, I can't wait to start the widebody work.

A few behind the scenes shots taken from a buddy of mine. My time spent over at BCD (Buddha Concept Designs) really made me appreciate exactly how much effort/time/expertise goes into their work.
Here are a few shots of them working on the bottom portion of the duckbill. This particular corner took quite a few tries to form the metal to fit the EXACT contour/angle of the duckbill. NO PIE CUTS HERE! All of these larger portions of metal are formed via hand and English Wheel. Last edited by Mitchsays21; 05-20-2015 at 03:47 PM.. |

A few shots from Bimmerfest West 2015.
Photo Credit : Flickr.com/photos/andreynasution/ UPDATE : Hit a few snags so the car may not be back in the body shop for another month or so. Wheels meant for the widebody won't be coming in until mid/late August, that said, hoping to have the car ready for at least Formula Drift Irwindale/Offset Kings in October and SEMA in November.
