    Are those the same wheels that EMC has? Roja something or other? They look great on blue! I can't say I'm a big fan of the front turn signals, but other than that it looks awesome. What else do you have planned for the engine/interior?

    It looked easy. I didnt do it. I made my bodyshop install it when I got it painted. It took them like 20-30 mins to do it. They removed the front bumper and attached it to the bumper on a workbench then attached the bumper back to the car. It was pretty quick.

    it wouldn't be too hard, just find a wrecked M3 from 96-99 with the motor and driveline in good shape, pull everything out of it you want, drop it in your car, then sell the leftovers

    now how's that bass

    Im sure the cost of the motor would be in the $$$thousands and labor would be also. The 10's do me just fine. I designed my box in the trunk really small. Only 1.7 cubic ft for 2 10's so I can still get my spare tire out. The box doesnt cross over the tire at all.

    if you're not mechanically inclined, it would be a lot to do, probably 2k in labor, maybe more. The wrecked car shouldn't be more than 5 or 6k, and you can make some of that back with the sales of parts you dont use and the stuff you pull out of your car.
