Looks great! IF you don't mind me asking what bumper and front lip do you put on?? It adds alot to the car!

[Stylin]

Its the stock M bumper with a Hamann DTM splitter.. :) Thanks!!

[aus]

The car looks sweet!!
What bulbs are you using in the head lights and fogs? Are they really brighter. Are they white or blue. I prefer white. Thanks and keep up the good work.

My headlights are true Xenon HIDs and my fogs are some blue superwhite bulb.. no real big name. any one of those types of superwhite HID xenon type bulbs will come out with the same result.. except the sylvian cool blue bulbs coz they're not that blue to begin with.

My headlights are true white with a blue rainbow color along the cutoff point. but otherwise very white.. same thing with the fogs.

THanks Aus..! :)

Hi Willy:

Any picture of your 6R ? You got any mods on the bike ?

[Kenshiro]

Hey Willy,

You didn't happen to weigh your HM2's before installing them, did you?

[TurboBMW3]

Willy,
You car looks TIGHT man~!!

Love the new look. and love your new sig as well~!

[Stylin]

Thanks guys.. :)

Kenshiro I didnt weight them.. but they are heavy rims.. almost like 48lbs with tires i believe. Someone has the exact weight somewhere.. ask on the rim and tires forum. :)

Can you go up ramps and driveways with the splitter on? And what about those concrete blocks in parking lots? I'm serious, because looking at yours makes me want to get one. I'm just wondering how much adjustment I'll have to make to my driving (and parking) with it on.

Oh yeah!! I forgot about that... J.C... How can we go about making that poster??:cool:

[Canatro]

it's pretty easy actually. send me some nice pics of your car preferrebly some physical 35 mm pics. unless you have an awesome digicam but i still prefer to do my own scanning so i can get the maximum resolution. i'll play around with it in photoshop and i'll email them back. pic the one u like best and we can figure out sizes and stuff. pick up the tab on shipping and paper-should be less than 20 bucks i would think. we can take it from there.

by the way, i think you should throw your bike in the pic too.

[Stylin]

JC.. thats great.. I need to go take some pics with a real 35mm camera then?? My digital camera isnt good enough..

But here are some other pics... quality isnt good enough huh??

[Canatro]

those pics look great but when you zoom in on photoshop, that's when you can tell how pixelated it would be blown up. it needs to be much sharper. the only way i've achieved this is by scanning it in myself.
if you really want top quality, take the pics with a very nice 35 mm. camera, take them to your local photo place that can scan the negatives onto a cd at differnent pixel sizes(small medium large huge) it costs around 5 bucks a pic. this is what i do for my stuff and it comes out awesome. then you can send me the cd and i don't have to scan anything.
i'm looking forward to this so hurry up and lets decorate your apartment!!!!!

[Stylin]

OK J.C. I know u can get ur pictures from a 35mm camera developed and get it on a CD also. The pics on the CD ive gotten before were huge.. I need to go take good pics then.. find a spot first. I gotta find a good camera from one of my friends first. Working on it JC.. :p

[Stylin]

JC.. how about one of these pics??

i checked out the frst one and it doesn't look too bad. i'll do a test print and i'll let you know how it turns out. the size will be 18X24 that i will print it out at.

[Stylin]

Thanks JC.. is there anyway I can cut out my car from the bottom pic.. I like the stance its got there. Or fuzz out the background a lil..? The top pic is alright...

[Canatro]

oh the wonders of photoshop. we can blurr out the back but it will take a while to get it right. if you don't mind the wait, we can use that one. i will print the test first to make sure we aren't wasting our time with the reso.

Its a Hamann Splitter.. u can get it at www.dtmautohaus.com for $650 unpainted.

[Canatro]

willy, i have a question. your car looks lowered to me. what susp. are you runnin. i want that splitter but i'm afraid it is going to litterally hit the ground over every bump. how much lower to the ground is it than stock? (the splitter compared to where the front bumper lip is)

[Stylin]

JC.. Im riding on H&R Sport and Bilstien sport shocks.. i have a lil under 4" on clearance in the front on level ground.. in NY.. i wouldnt even think about it. U'll tear it off easily... Ive scraped it a few times.. u have to be extremely slow and careful driving. Ive taken other paths to avoid certain streets before. I barely make it up my parking deck.. i scrape each time on the first ramp daily. Its low.. go measure how much clearance ur stock bumper has on a level ground.

Acutally in Jersey city.. Manny on DTM tore off his splitter sending shards of it into this fan or something like that.. his car had to be towed. I work in Jersey city too...:eek: :(

[Canatro]

wow, thanks for the heads up.

[Saul]

When you install the hamman splitter do you have to take off the old long black strip attach to bumper (OEM splitter). or the hamman just goes on the bottom of the old OEM splitter?
And what is it made of.

Thanks

[Stylin]

Manny also hit some bumps knocking his splitter up into his bumper, then up into his body loosening his bumper and cracked paint. :eek:

U take off the stock lip and it gets replaced with the Hamann one. Its made of a fiberglass/kevlar blend.
