Now that the tint and clearbra have cured, I am washing it tomorrow, and I'll get some new pics up with the spacers, etc!

Here are some more pics as promised. Spent about 3 hours washing it today and then some construction guys were cutting concrete by it and now it's covered in concrete dust!

So mods to date are:
Macht Schnell 12mm/10mm spacers
IND Reflectors and Grille
5%/20%/5% 3M Tint
VentureShield Full Hood, Bumper, Fenders, Mirrors

One thing I have noticed is that the Melbourne Red is literally 100 different shades of red depending on the light. I am no photographer, but this is the best I could do to try to capture that:









Hope you all enjoy the pics!
Mason

Ok, so here's the update. Have about 1800 miles on the clock now. Running a fuel blend to bring the octane up to 93. The car is MUCH happier, although my wallet is much lighter. Just purchased a new Valentine 1 and Blinder M47 for the car. Will be trying to hardwire both of these this weekend!

At 5000 miles approx, I will be getting the Akrapovic Evo and then at 8000 I figure I'll bite on the ESS kit!

Loving the M so far!
