The splitter and diffuser look amazing.

I just cannot swallow the prices for them, so expensive.

Drove the car with no nannies because it finally stopped raining today!

Where did you get the blue bar and accent?! I need this for my EB car...nice touches

Thanks, the blue on the lip is just 1/4” pinstripe I bought from amazon. The bars behind the grille are vivvid “Brilliant blue” vinyl I wrapped myself.

I don't think you are being obsessive. I hate when I have to drive through a puddle on a beautiful day.

They are expensive but you really do get what you pay for. Very pleased with the outcome. Been considering the larger wing to tie it all together, but for now I’m happy with what I’ve got.

If that is the BMW M style carbon fiber wing I have the same one.

I actually prefer it to the CF wing from the same people you bought your splitter and diffuser from.

IMO their wing is gaudy and too big.

That has been my biggest concern. I know everything in Texas is bigger but, it might just be too big. If that is even possible lol

Added carbon fiber 'eyelids' to cover up the ugly silver at the top of the headlights. This is from Chinese supplier, so will see how long they last. Also added M pedal covers and ECS stainless brake lines.

I’ve been sitting on my SS brake lines. Haven’t gotten around to installing them for over a year >.< how’re you liking them? Got a dead on shot of the eyelids with the entire front of the car?

Here is a shot of the whole front - not dead on at like hood level but it gives a better picture of how they look. With the black car it seemed like the silver headlight trim popped out a little much.

As for the brake lines yes definitely a noticeable difference. Pedal firmness has improved and there is slightly less pedal travel as you apply more pressure.
Had these on my E46, and that pedal was like a rock. My F23 is not like that but better than stock. The brake lines were the only thing I changed, and they old ones were about 2 years old / 20k miles so not really worn out. There are certainly a lot of opinions on these. In my case it is just personal preference. Not going to track the convertible.

One thing to note that I did not know is that the front calipers have two bleed screws - one on the inside and one on the outside. I missed the one on the inside. Perhaps this is common knowledge for BMW performance brakes, but it was news to me and not something that I even would have researched.

Joe240 · 07-07-2018, 04:06 PM

Nice the eyelids look sharp. Thank you for your feedback. I had no idea about the dual bleed screws either. Glad you mentioned it because none of the reviews for the SS lines ever mentioned dual bleed screws

6SPMAN · 07-08-2018, 02:42 PM

Finally Finished a clay bar and wax program....also de-badged the rear

jmwilson125 · 07-10-2018, 08:58 PM

Added a 3.5 bar tmap sensor.

M style carbon fiber mirror caps!

Do you have a shot of what the other side the mirrors look like? I'm wanting to possibly get these, but is there like a big weird looking gap above the glass for the "m" portion of the mirror caps? Or is that filled in somehow? If that makes sense... Wondering what the mirrors looks like from the drivers seat essentially.

Edit: Also, do they still fold up without any interferences?

I personally think the M caps look funky on a non-M car. Here's the regular carbon fiber caps I installed yesterday and it blends in really well with mineral gray. The pics don't do it justice as it looks like OEM on the gray.
