    At the point that this car appears to be at, I don't think it matters what it started out as. Looks great to me...

    That diffuser is ok I guess. I think the original is just fine though

    suprised to open this thread and see a pic of my car
    CarbonBlkE36, you are 1/2 right. it is not an m3, but it is not jet black either. custom mixed color. I am running FK variant 2 coilovers. I love them.

    check out the fake ACS roundels on his car. :



    .....sorry had to nitpick - also, who's saying that he wished he had an M3? Why would he care for an M3 if he's pimping a ride like that?

    Hey man, I'm a professional!

    uh

    if its not an M3, then why have the gills of the e46 and M3 badge?



    the trunk badge is not attractive whatsoever.

    damn...lots of hate here.

    I can get ACS badges for those gills if you're really hating on it so much. :

    I'm not crazy about the gills. But in all fairness, the guy only has the 'M' on his liscence plate cover. I don't think that qualifies as fake-badging.'

    I agree that the ACS is sweet! You cant really tell from that pic, but the center portion is all CF. There is a gorgeous Yellow M3 w/18" RC-Js from CA here that has this diffuser. The owner is KraZy007, try a search. You can really see the CF on his. Also, ACS S3 has this in Aus, but I think Nicot bought it from him. Nicot's car will be donce shortly, so just keep your eyes open.

    BTW, anyone know the price for the ACS diff?

    Nice car. Also, even if it was an M3, ever thought that maybe he could have had it repainted to that shade of black?

    forrest, hit me up at themadhatter323@yahoo.com

    I gotta dig up a pic of it - and yes it's a real part.

    pricing isn't harsh at all if I recall correctly, are you using authentic E46 M3 gills are aftermarket?

    If i see correctly from above pics. U only have one grille on pass side???
    and I assume it is OE E46 side grille.
    Rieger has similiar ones with Rieger emblem which are going on my car.
    btw. Nice ride. how'd u feel about the fk c/o, I need some opinions since they are not very popular here in states.

    one of those pics was before i installed the grills. they are O.E.
    I really like the FK c/o. I used to have koni/ground control. i like the fk better.

    the gill piece is not available aftermarket, thats a dealer item only, 80 bux for the pair sounds about right
    This shop ripped me off and they'll rip you off too!
