Got a few cosmetic things done

Took my car to a local place called Dipping Unlimited in Kirkland. Owner Luke is a stand up guy and did a great job on the roof wrap, front bumper, door handles and the wheels. Just have a few pictures, will post more once I have more time.

Going to get the orange reflectors wrapped in black as well, and I need to replace the grills. I have them, but no time to install. Also have a gloss black lip spoiler which I think will look great.

Wish I had done this when I first got the car. I have got some many compliments, and I don't know why but everyone keeps calling it an "M6"

Nice cosmetic mods. If I were you, I would go for white reflectors instead of black one. CF mirror caps and black kidney grills make this beauty more sexy...

That's a nice start and tastefully done. The blacked out grills should be next and a blacked out or CF rear spoiler as well.

White is a great base color to work with.

Consider a rear diffuser as well, but only if you have a driveway that can accommodate it.

That look is not for everyone, but those who like the aggressive front end look - it looks great. As far as I know, no front splitters are made for this car so this was the next best thing that I had done to mine.

This diffuser is not working properly for you... you have to gift it to another M6 owner

for sure, i totally get the intent, and also the lack of options. its that center part that ends up looking like a smile though, versus the f80s that have a a frown for that center.

now, if only there was something we can do to make the top of the headlights a little more aggressive, also a la f80
