V36 Sedan Quick Picture Thread

Loving the Starfire white! What did it cost to have the whole car sprayed, if you don't mind me asking? Also, got any close ups of the rear spoiler? Assuming it is molded into the trunk lid...

Cost was a little over 3k inside and out except for the engine bay. I had it painted last December, it used to be Obsidian Black.

I see you also had your fenders pulled. How much did you pull them out. I could really use to have my rear fenders pulled (running -2.7° camber in the rear in order to clear), but am affraid it might damage the paint.

Great build thread! Really liking the new color and front lip. I have the Carbon Signal rear spoiler in CF, but think I am going to paint it Ivory Pearl after seeing your set-up.... thinking of leaving some CF showing, though, to go with the CF rear diffuser, mirrors, and front grill.

My spoiler was FRP so I just had my body guy mold and paint over everything. If I had a CF spoiler I would have painted the rear facing part and left the top part CF - perhaps that is something you might want to consider.
I pulled my rear fenders about 15mm with the eastwood roller. I used a heat gun and didn't damage the paint, but I didn't use enough heat and my fenders ended up being wavy bacon. I knew the car would be going to the shop to get the kit installed so that's why I tried to pull myself just to say I did it once. Even though I pulled I didn't readjust my camber (previously -3.2°), I pulled so that I could fit the 295/30/19 tire for that fat flush look.

Thanks for the compliments, your sedan has been one of my inspirations since I bought my car back in 2010.

I was actually thinking of painting the top facing part of the trunk spoiler and leaving the rear facing part as CF... thinking it might integrate with the CF rear diffuser better that way, but not sure.
So, what tires did you find in the 295? I just purchased Potenza S04's, but went with 285/30R20's again. The only tire I could find in a 295 were the Michelin Pilot Super Sports, which are way too pricing to have to replace every ~10 - 15K miles (which is what I typically get from my rear tires).

So funny... Doesn't even seem like I've had my car long enough to be anyone's inspiration. LOL. It's been so long since I've really posted on here... Guess I really need to post some updated pics.

I actually have been playing tire sizes to find out what fits best with my setup/pull. I have Vredestein tires in the rear right now and 255/35 PSS in the front. I tried to fit 305/30 PSS in the rear but after trying the tire on the wheel I would need another 10-15mm pull! Needless to say, I put the Vredestein back on for now.. Man do the PSS run wide!
I think for my next set I'm going to try 265/35f and 295/30r Continental DWS - just to see how long they would last.
Edit: I haven't done much else besides playing with tires except CF Roof spoiler that I got on the forums.

Yeah, when I first got my car circa 2010 your Tuesday Afternoon "Photoshoot" thread served as a reference/inspiration.

I forgot you are running 19's, so that gives you a few more options in the 295 size. I hadn't thought about Continental, but it looks like they do offer a 295/30R20, so I might look at going with those for my next set. Or, since I need all the traction I can get I may just bite the bullet and have the rear fenders pulled so I can squeeze some 305/25R20's back there!
