Let me tell you how fun it is to be teased, first Thurs, then Friday then today, no Monday. Ugh!
New question, it's going to be at least 2.5 weeks before my appt to get clear bra installed. What the hell am I going to do? I don't want to spray the 3M clear bra temp stuff on there, I've heard mixed things. The paint on the splitter is still fresh, so I don't want to spray something that can interact with it. I suppose I can use painters tape, but 2.5 weeks of tape in April might not last with all the rain we get.

Important update (at least for me that is): I am scheduled for pickup 12 noon Eastern. I'll post a pick as it happens.

Here are some shots of the paint work the VPC did for me. I wanted them to paint the rear diffuser gloss black with body color center fins and body color roof spoiler. The side blades and front lower lip was also painted gloss black.

Congrats, I like the work that VPC did - good add-ons.
i guess the dealership still wasn't ready for you at 12, - still covered in delivery wrap ! You need to add 1000 running in miles on it quickly and then add a tune ! |

That leather dash is key - really elevates the interior. I'd also recommend the M performance shifter trim and surround. They also add a nice performance look and feel. I would go whole hog and get the whole M performance trim, but honestly I hate alcantara and the "M Performance" lettering on the dash trim is just too much, but that's just me. Now go break 'er in!!

Man it sounds like that's probably going to be the most pampered F31 ever. I like the visual contrast between the red and black in the rear diffuser. If only you could order it with a B58 (I sure would have), then it'd be perfect.

Ha!! Yes, it will be. Glad you like the rear-end. I found a pic of an M3 with contrasted diffuser and I loved it, I figured it would be a nice striking differentiation between what most people get. As for the B58, that's the 6 cyl right? If so, sure, who wouldn't want more cylinders? Even though here in the states we get shafted with only one gas engine choice, I am okay with it. It's lighter than the 6 cyl, located further back toward the center of the car and has less stuff to break. Plus, I plan on doing Dinan Stage 4 at some point so 345HP is no slouch.

Well I just experimented with coding FDL, pretty cool stuff. Later I'll try to recode the variable headlights.
