**playboy** · 10-09-2003, 01:38 PM

beautiful
who makes those wheels and what size are they?

**toddman35** · 10-09-2003, 01:45 PM

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?

**Mfreak** · 10-09-2003, 01:57 PM

Sweet ride dude!!

**BimmerDawg** · 10-09-2003, 01:59 PM

I LOVE those Roja's. Looks great!

**jayc** · 10-09-2003, 02:20 PM

Man the car looks great w/ the new wheels!

**Bremsen** · 10-09-2003, 03:15 PM

Hate to do it, but I'm gonna have to get me a set as well. Your car looks badass. 1000x better.

Was the front lip an easy install?

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.

How do you like that stereo setup? I've got the stock HK premium setup, and i need something to hit hard, do those 10s do the job? Sick ride man, now all ya need is some S52 goodness

I would love an M3 motor, I wouldnt know where to begin to do soemthing like that. I have an auto too. I would like to keep my auto and have an M3 motor.

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

**Ali** · 10-09-2003, 08:48 PM

i think i saw your car a while ago over the chattahooche bridge.

**Dean** · 10-09-2003, 08:50 PM

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.
