I think he was trying to do something different. Everyone goes with red. I went with cf covers - red would have popped more but I wanted to do something different.

Yep, I remember I read he said he liked it because it was subtle. Car looks great.

Yeah, I tried to keep the balance between having a wild car but not in-your-face wild. Since chrome brakes would blend with chromelip/brushed center wheels, I went with that color. I even paid extra to get the rotor hats chromed out.

The car is still about 70% done but at least you can already tell what it is shaping up to be.

The lexus project is still going. I have broken my built auto tranny because of all the power but I am hoping to swap in a 6-speed getrag fairly soon. The car just needs new bodykit (which I have) and a full repaint. Otherwise it is ready.

Thanks for all the positive comments

This board is my home.

Color - sick

stance - sick

wheels - sick

love the clean setup, there is nothing like a slammed white BMW with nice wheels (I have been missing the white bmw lately, and this doesnt help!!)

Really like what you have done,

I think you posted the car a while ago and what stands out for me again
are the wheels. I am really liking those split 10 spoke designs. They are
very elegant.

HOLY .... BRAKES! I love it!

I dunno why, but I really dig the tow hook.

Rear window sticker freaks up the flow. Stick it elsewhere or change the size to much smaller.
