What is and what will be (mods)
I love my car, I really do, so when i start talking about modifying it you would think that i´m not happy with it.
Car guys (or gals) enjoy a love affair with their vehicles. They lavish attention on them, bathe them and baby them, treat them to expensive baubles. Their vehicle is more than just a box (or phallus) on wheels, it´s an extension of them...a way in which they demonstrate their personality, their individuality.
No true car guy wants their car to be a carbon copy of the thousands or millions of similar cars on the road. This is why we change things.
When i bought the car it came with almost everything i wanted, this is why i bought it in the first place, but in my efforts to stand out from the rest i need to do a few things to make it truly mine.
As you can see from the following list I´ve already started along the primrose path, but there´s still got a ways to go before the car is finished.
Current
-Hella Black Headlamps
-M5 Licence Plate Surround
-Wide Hood (V8) Conversion
Already most of important work from an esthetic point of view is done, though the icing on the cake will be to lower the ride height with some Sportline Springs and bring the package together.
Future
-Eibach Sportline Springs (-5cm)
-Bilstein B8 Shocks
-dsylva-tech EAT chip
-M5 Shift Tray/Surround
-Eisenmann Sport Exhaust
-Smoked Turn Signals
The future list is longer than the current mods list and it´s only what i can get away with, taking into consideration that this needs to be a useable daily driver or else there would have been coil-overs instead of springs.
That being said i have a lot of pokers in the fire and few pictures and updates to show for it. Hopefully in the next few weeks i will have some of the previously posted mods in progress wrapped up and i can share them with you.
