Did another photoshoot with a different photographer that I just met, and I think the pics came out fairly good. He had them all edited and sent to me within 24 hours, which was awesome!
Enjoy!

beastly... sooo business

What did you do to that bumper, and fenders? Looks right on the track I guess, but the 2 tone is killing it along with butcher job on the fenders. Zip ties????? I'm sure its fast, but its ugly and perfect for the track and scraping up near other cars. It would be perfect for that movie where the prisoners race to the death for freedom. Its a perfect Mad Max Car

Awesome car mike.
Love this car! been following its build in the drift section(I lurk more than I post), I would paint the bumper and nose panel white, as well as the rocker panel, or get white M3 side skirts, as well as install the trim around the windows. With how much time you have put into this car and how correctly you have built it i would take the time to complete the fit and finish and bring the looks up to par with the performance. But if the two tone look is what your going for then never mind, i still think its badass, even if it looks unfinished to me.
If you to paint it, leave the flares with exposed rivets, gives an aggressive look to the car.
this car is serious! no engine bay shots?

not a fan of the fenders, over-rolled if you ask me...nice car otherwise
I love this car.
Thanks Colby. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but it's totally functional, and that is what it was built for. I'm not here to win any "R&S beauty contests" so if people like it and appreciate that it goes really really fast, great. If not, move along to the next thread ("Needs clears, drop, LTWs..")

BMW; ultimate business machine.
Not quite what the engineers had in mind, but I think they'd enjoy this
Not hating on it, just said what I would do to it if it were my car. But its not so mike may do what he pleases. I to am building a street legal track car and while it is nowhere this extreme, i understand that sometimes having it function correctly over looking pretty for a camera is the priority. So again I was just stating what i do if it were mine since voicing ones opinion is the point of a forum like this.
This is still my favorite car on here.
Thanks!
I started building this car on Sept 12, 2011 so I'm still definitely in the "finishing stages" of a lot of things. It will get all painted alpine white (bumper, nose panel) and I have M3 coupe side skirts that will go on and be painted alpine white also, so it will be color matched some time soon. Just barely got it street legal 2 fridays ago, so I'm busy driving it and enjoying it. The finishing touches are still to come (I haven't had that much time really since I built the whole car starting sept 12, 2011.)
So yeah, it's getting color matched, and M3 side skirts. I would put window moulding on it, but damn that stuff is expensive.. and I'm not sure I can justify the price just to make it look a little prettier. This is a rat rod after all
Also will be going CCW classics, 18x10, 18x12 in a couple months with some stickier tires
Thanks! I have posted a few vids already and hate to keep reposting them
