Am I crazy...I am about to drop 400$ on CF Sideskirts...worth it?

[Clutch M3]

Hey guys you think its worth it to drop 400$ on CF sideskirts? I have always wanted them but when I think about it 400$ and than + paint is gonna add up and I can basically get a hood...Idno wtf to do...I always try to keep my ride unique and I do not want to get a regular old Vosteiner hood (played out if you ask me no offense to any of the guys that got it ;))

These are how the sideskirts look painted btw...they are the GTR sides...

Comments please? Should I keep the money and save up for a hood? If so what hood? I need to make up my mind ASAP!

[cullen61918]

looks is not my biggest priority but plays some importance, more on the performance level what benefits will these have for you? I dont think you'll save much weight, I wouldn't do it because the cost to result ratio isnt as great as other mods ie hood/trunk.

I agree with the common vorsteiner vented hood, if I went with vorsteiner i would either get the stock look or the single vented rather than the common double vented.

I would but for the money they charge...not enough power if you ask me >.>;)

[xplosiveg06]

i would go for the hood. i never liked how the gtr side skirts look like there just glued on as well as how far down it drops the car compared to the rear bumper

[Mattie]

i've personally never been a fan of those side skirts. id invest in something else IMHO

[cm3go]

If you like it,
get it.

Edwin don't do it! get the hood instead, it may be played out but it stands out way more!!!! Or invest in interior: Recaros!

[Laidback]

I kinda like em' if your into exterior mods...

[xixicemanxix]

get the hood man, im not a big fan of those sides either, but if you really wanna then go for it!

[Clutch M3]

Naw I have decided to stay away from the sides...at least the CF ones...if a used non-CF one comes for cheap I will prolly pick them up...savin money for now :)

Saving money, good idea.

[nitinopp]

Good idea, anyways remember that your car is an expression of YOU. Do whatever you like with it! Don't feel pressured to change what you want to do because a few bmw whores like us don't like it.

[Bimmerlifestyle]

do it

Talk to Nik from VF.

You have a nice enough car. Im sure you could work something out. ;)

Edwin, there's only so much cosmetic mods you can do (unless you go all out custom interior and stuff like that). I say you expand to engine/perf. mods, do u have headers/gears yet?

Nope and nope. I honestly try to stay away from engine mods just for warranty reasons and I just cannot spend that much for such little power. I am sorry if I am bagging on some of the S/C guys but that much money for that little power doesn't do justice for me. I have seen Stage I S/C cars with my own eyes get pulled on by one of my 335 friends who just has maybe 1500$ in mods (ask Mario I am sure he will contribute to this :p even though he is not the friend I am talking about).

Eventually I am going to get another car and that one will be modded for power. I love turbo car's to be honest and if I am going to mod the engine it will be with some kind of turbo car. Hopefully in the future I shall but I have no need for the power with the M at the moment so I just keep taking care of exterior :D :rolleyes: Also if I got 50% off a V/F kit like you did Fidel I would consider it as well ;) How is the kit doing btw?

[///NEM3SES]

lol I don't know about 335's pullin on me... but well see haha!
Kits doing fine bro! hey you know what!? I saw a cool cosmetic mod at SocalEuro
The AW Falken M3 has slits on the front fenders under the sidemarker turn signal light- and another pair of slits on the rear bumper behind the rear fenders. I thought they looked sick!!!!http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt259/coresare/Big%20SoCal%20Euro/DSC_9356.jpg
(couldn't find a side pic, but it's the M3 on the right)

I have no idea what you are referring to on the pic :confused: haha any better ones Fidel? I really wanna check it out :D

[///NEM3SES]

I dont have any other pics of that car, but trust me they look dope lol!

On the other hand you said if you got the same deal as i did for VF Stg 1 that you would consider it! Well u might check out the VF kits on M3forum! No excuses dawg, you should go for it!
