[Preppy]

Oh and some RD mirrors are on the way...:evil2

[///MINI]

Looking sporty!

[SG_M3]

looks nice, why not some m3 side skirts?

[NiTE]

Nice, I like the LTW lips. Any closeups of the lips or a nice straight front shot?

[Preppy]

SG_M3...because I got the kit for $140...and sold the skirts for $100 :devillook

Nite-Like this one? :)

you and your replicas ;)

I absolutely love those lips, how much did they run you?

[Preppy]

They're new for $240 from Bekkers.com.........but I am trading them with someone for a BBR CF Hamann style splitter :devillook

[Lance325is]

Looks great Chris we need to meet up sometime so I can see your car again...Looks soo clean

[jayc]

Clean car...wheels look good (nice lip).

[325Driver]

Looks good Chris even if it is dirty. BTW, hook 'em horns!!

[DonJuan]

hey preppy,

how much did the paint job cost you?

[Preppy]

it cost me $150 for the paint....my dad and I did the painting ourselves :)

Thanks for the kind words everyone! :D

[themadhatter]

NICE!!!

[jvit27]

I guess its not for sale anymore!

[nmadd]

Looks great! Love the new wheels. :clap:

4x4 look? You haven't seen my car. :D

[Preppy]

Hey Jonathan, yeah, she's staying put...deal is that I can mod it (within reason) and my parents use it as a beater :az:

Nick....yeah, I need to drop mine a further ;)

[Fissionx]

wern't you selling your car?

[TheBestCow]

Chris,
Looks great man. But a beater for your parents? I don't think so son! If you're dropping that kind of cash into a vehicle, make sure you get to keep it... especially if you're going to be throwing a suspension on there (at least $700 + install cost if you don't do it yourself). I say you just keep it and do the tranny swap eventually. Just my .02.

[Bimmer9938]

Looks nice , Those the rims off that yellow M3 right?

[IgotMy18s]

nice..bty how do you post pictures from your hard drive?

[Cruzmisl]

You need image hosting..

My college gives it to me for free. :D

If you want, I can place some on my site for you. Just mail them to me. my addy is ajjones at coldsun98 dot com

[Preppy]

FissionX: Yes, the car was this much >< sold only for the buyer to back out...I decided to keep it after all that fuss :mad:...kind of glad I did b/c my gf loves this car :D

Kevin: My mom drives a 2000 s500 and my dad a 2001 X54.4i and I drive mine...tell me....on a rainy day, what car do you think they'll take ;)...hence it's their beater :)....plus they're nice an pay for gas and my insurance while they're at it so I'm not one to complain...:devillook

Bimmer9938: You're correct

Igotmy18's: I host my pictures on my comcast website thingie ;)

Thanks for looking guys! :boobies:

[Ali]

you need an underpanel.

[Preppy]

I need a lot of things dude.....(know where I can get one?) :)

don't worry, amir's (my brother) fell out doing like 90. They're pretty expensive though, try circle or pacific if you want OEM or go with JTD's.

[Preppy]

Do I really need the underpanel though....:az:

ditto. I don't even know what it looks like b/c ive never had one. If some1 could post up a pic that would be great.

[aMiR M3]

i think seeing through the front bumper to the ground looks tacky :dunno

[Preppy]

Yeah, but then again, I have no idea what it is....so do I really need it is the question....

[mrhmmhmm]

chris, i must say, those wheels are amazing. that deep dish is so delicious, i would call pizza hut for a pizza right now if it werent snowing out.

i'm torn between those and breyton inspirations.

[BoostFed325]

im liking those rims :)

[Preppy]

Jeff, get the Breytons dude, those are so nice, plus they wiegh around the same. Lips on those are just as nice.....

I'm gonna try to get my lips polished and possibly powdercoat the spokes gunmetal :devillook

[jvit27]

the underpanel helps create some downforce.

[M3Sleeper]

Where in Poromac do you live..? My dad lives in Potomac as well.

[Preppy]

Hmmm, I live off Glen Mill Rd towards the Rockville direction...near Boswell Rd....development is rather new....(big powerlines run behind us)

[QuestMCoupe]

Chris, the car looks great. I'd say the only reason I'm planning on getting or making an underpanel since mine fell off a couple of years ago is because without it the engine bay gets pretty dirty.

[///M LIFE©]

Hey how much did you pay to get your mouldings painted?

[Preppy]

Joe: thanks bro, your car has progressed along a lot better than mine has (330 engine swap beats me hands down ;)) keep up the good work on your car dude! :D

Mlife: we painted the moldings ourself when we painted the front and rear bumpers and eyelids...

[QuestMCoupe]

Thanks Chris. I need a new paintjob though.:(

[Preppy]

Don't we all....but yeah, the Texas sun sure does beat the hell out of the car.......my car lived 5 years of it's life down there before moving up here....

[M3Sleeper]

Your car is very clean and looks great man. I sort of know where you live.. Dont know the Potomac area that well. My dads lives off of Democracy Rd. By the Montgomery Mall (like 6 mins away)
Keep working on that car.. Are we going to see some power upgrades in the near future? :dunno

[Preppy]

No power upgrades unfortunately...thats what happens when it becomes the parents "beater"....but give me two years...I'll get something new then :evil2

Yeah, I'm a little ways from Democracy and the mall....about 10mins...

Thanks for kind words bro :)

[M3Sleeper]

Again nice ride. Ill have to get some pics of my beauty when i get a digital :(

Again very nice :love1

[dave is cool]

Chris, car looks good. I'm not even that far from you, I'm in VA. The rims are nice. Did you buy them from the guy who had the Dakar Yellow M3?

yeah, if your racing:confused: you don't really need it...its a personal preference.

nice car though....i would suggest a nice 35% tint on it for a great touch.

[Preppy]

Tint is my next choice too, but I have to wait 3 more weeks (Spring Break then) to get it done :az:

Thanks everyone! Ya'll are awesome :D

[brian325i]

Lookin nice prep, I like the lip on the new wheels. Keep it up! :D

[Preppy]

Thanks Brian!....have you found a suitable engine replacement yet?
