I used to think I would not mod at all. I have a well modded E36 M3 already and that gave me some headaches. However, I see so many nicely modded high end cars in Socal (there is a guy with a sweet lightly modded GT3 that lives up the road from me) all the time that the "modding bug" has bitten me again. I will probably keep my minor mods to visual things like a front lip and wheels and at the most aftermarket springs....

Full front-end (and rear bumper) venture shield wrap + black shadowline trim around windows. That's it. The car otherwise will be flawless (at least to my eyes).

So far I have tint. However, I have HRE P40s, a Vorsteiner rear diffuser, black front grills, painted reflectors all on the way. Then I am done...well, maybe Eisenmann, then I'll be done.

I did a BMW chrome license plate frame, does that count?

I'm seriously considering an exhaust (for sound and appearance), and *maybe* lowering springs, but that's unlikely.

M Division have spent years of development tweaking this car performance wise - so I'm not going to fiddle with their genius. Just minor visual mods for me...

So far I have swapped out the chrome kidneys for matte black, and had the orange reflectors painted space gray. Also had AI design smoke the tail lights and put a Valentine 1 inside my rear view mirror. Waiting for performance mods until something seems worth the $$
