Difference between men and boys are the price of their toys...
And cost of their projects/hobbies....

Very, very awesome!! I'm envious of you and your resources.

The PDC are in body colors so I guess it would be ok to be painted over...are those round plastic tab are just the covers or it is sensors itself?

I guess it DOES look better AW... Almost as good as SG! =O

I like how they did the vents. Most people paint in between each flap of the of the vent on the outer rim but this way is MUCH cleaner. Can't wait to see the finished product!

Lookin great so far!

Things are starting to come together. The whole car was retinted with 3M film. Since I had the rear window out, they were able to spend a lot of time getting the tint to bond with the dot matrix, and the end result is amazing.



I picked up a new goody. An Eisenhaus Meisterschaft Titanium exhaust to replace the Eisenmann Race- this should be quite a bit louder, and 40+ lbs lighter. I'll be installing it tomorrow.



Also, the front bumper is finally going on. These pictures show the process of it being fitted (I left before they completed the final perfect fitment).









Things left to do:

• Reassemble interior of hardtop
• Install all moldings
• Polish hardtop, bootlid, hood
• Go over a few small odds and ends

There is a very good chance I will get the car back tomorrow. That would bring the total project time to 44 days. I plan to work late into the night installing the new exhaust and my JIC/Cross Competition suspension, and finally get the chance to start enjoying my car.

I can't say enough good things about the workmanship at International Autobody. It seems any time I have doubts, or read about how things should be done online, I come in to discuss with the workers, and that's exactly how they've done the work.

Looking good, can't wait to see in person. Especially like the hood vents.

looks awesome! explain to me the two asymetrical holes in the front bumper?...

You're insane.... period.

i went by international last monday to get a quote on my bumper being resanded and repainted. saw your m3 and my jaws dropped.

YOU my man.. are one lucky LUCKY guy. i envy what you have.

Thanks Wes. I should be in Walnut Creek this weekend, so if you see/hear me zooming by, stop me.

The smaller hole is where the tow hook goes. There's a painted piece that pops in there to cover it. The bumper is the same one that's on the M3 CSL. It was designed to create a ram air affect and force air into the intake...

Thank you.

DAMN that looks good! It's gonna looks SICK with the top down... I hope they finish today so we can install the coils!

I think that bootlid looks SO much better on the vert.

Johnny confirmed it will be ready today. So, come over at 4:00 and we can get cracking.

I hope you enjoy the Meisterschaft titanium muffler Boris. I really liked it on my car with the Rogue rasp pipe.
