Update 9/2/09

I'm still not 100% happy with the exterior of the car as I really want a clean rear diffuser and working on a different exhaust look. It seems the aftermarket support is definitely not like the e92 m3 sadly.

Most of the parts on my car are cosmetic changes except for the exhaust and coils for now. Trying to do the yellow accent motif hence the 2-tone neck pillows and Brembo accent logos.

I've found a way to switch the fogs on without turning on the headlights. Why does BMW allow it but Audi/Lexus does not allow fogs to turn on independently is beyond me!

Look for more pictures when I get my BBS LM's for test fitment....

Neck pillows match down to the leather




LED DRL's with voltage module to avoid flickering:

I never thought I'd find you here.

How you liking the IS? I'm thinking about ditching the GTO and grabbing one in the spring. Is it a worthy replacement for the E46? I'm afraid I'll miss my manual transmission, but after 5 years of stick, I think I'd like something different.

This was my best solution to hide the ugly license plate holes dealer drilled into the bumper (temporary solution for now....)


Photoshop experts, can anyone help me photoshop this wheel onto the 2nd picture?

Have you looked into the color matched plugs to fill in the holes? I've seen them on an 08 Ls they looked decent.....Btw didn't you order a set of BBS's?

Rick your cars look fantastic!!!

I'm glad your enjoying your F and look forward to watching you work your magic with it.

I'm also happy you found another driver and included the NSX in the last set of pics! NSX + BBS = HOT

gs2isf: Yes I have a set of LM's on order, should be here any day now but I go through rims like underwear (my friend's words...) so always looking to try a new look

Larry: Thanks for the kind words - I love BBS wheels and have been faithful to their line ever since my s4 that sat on the now discontinued but BEST BBS RC's!

kyang91: Is your first name Ken, if so I think I actually know you! I thought it was obvious I'm a Boilermaker by now ~ notice the recurring theme









This was my ride back at Purdue - you should recognize the background? Yes I was a ricer back then and proud of it! hehe

What did you go with on the BBS LM specs...? 19's or 20's??

Dark finish or Bright??

Here's a taste..

JoeZ: I went with 19's since I love the oem ride quality. Ordered the DSK finish but with polished lips (don't like the lip one color as you shown above) and red centercaps. I wanted them to match what I had on the NSX
