Mineral Gray with a few mods and finally the brakes came in yesterday

docjavier · 01-14-2016, 04:24 PM

I had the car for about 3 to 4 moths, I bought it used in excellent shape. came with the wheels, spoiler, blacked out grills and ER charge pip.

I installed the good stuff my self.
JB4 + Bluetooth ver3
AFE magnum intake
vsrf down pipe ceramic (got it new cheap) and it fit and work awesome
GFB DV+
BC racing ver2 coils
hardwired V1
M performance Brakes.
Painted rear bumper reflectors
roof spoiler

coming soon, ER FMIC, ER turbo to IC pipe, a Cat back exhaust not sure which one, I don't want to brake the bank.

Let me know what do you think.

Love the brake color!

ZKing1208 · 01-14-2016, 04:34 PM

Looks great!!! Is that a 15? Also, would you mind sharing you rims size and width. Staggered? Including tire size set up. Thanks.

VividRacingII · 01-14-2016, 04:51 PM

Beautiful setup!!!

I like the orange caliper.

tboooe · 01-14-2016, 05:50 PM

Those orange calipers are bad ass!

Thanks for the comments everyone.

it is a 12, build date 4/2012 Sportline, w/pdc/side cameras/HK stereo

AvantGarde 19x 8.5 et 35 and 19x9.5 et 43. Tires are Conti Extreme DW 235-35-19 and rear 265-30-19 ( I think I can go 275 instead).

I was scared about the orange as I could not find another car photo in the same color with orange calipers. I am glad it came out good.

Looks great. Are the discs and calipers larger than the Msport plus ones?

they're the same size as the msport ones (which are the blue M calipers), the only difference are that the performance brake kits have all rotors that are dimpled/slotted

to OP, nice!

mike@x-ph.com · 01-18-2016, 01:11 PM

Awesome!! docjavier How aggressive would you like the new exhaust to be?

Thanks to all. I will be getting better photos next weekend after a wash and polish.

Exhaust, aggressive with no drone. one that you can have a conversation at cruising speeds and don't brake the bank.

Check out the Remus axle back
it will sound amazing paired with your catless downpipes,

VMRWheels · 01-18-2016, 07:34 PM

Loving the color of the brakes! Reminds me a lot of the Repsol orange.

docjavier · 01-27-2016, 12:49 PM

I have a question. Should I get a M sport front bumper or a F80 M3? and what vendor has the best fitting and durable one? thanks

docjavier · 01-28-2016, 10:45 AM

any suggestion of front bumper choice?

platty · 01-28-2016, 12:23 PM

I haven't heard bad things about the fitment of eBay F80-type or M-sport bumpers.

I vote for the M-Sport bumper. To me the F80 type looks a little too aggressive given the rest of the cars rather subtle styling (ie no wide fenders like the F80).

VMRWheels · 01-28-2016, 03:49 PM

I think the F80 style bumper would look good so long as it is accompanied by some other aero bits. I agree with platty, but if the bumper was complemented by some more aggressive aero on the rest of the car, I think it would work well.

docjavier · 01-28-2016, 05:54 PM

good point. which brand and vendor should I look into?

LeontiyZHP · 01-29-2016, 07:52 PM

The car looks great. If you were to change the front bumper, my vote is for M-sport. Looks more OEM. And if you chose to, at a later time, you can get the M-sport rear bumper to match.

IMO, F80 bumper looks good on the F80, not F30. Otherwise the proportions look off.

DrifterX · 01-29-2016, 07:58 PM

Go for the M Sport bumper
