Have enjoyed the progress of both cars!....Would really like to see a photo of the powder coated Evo Grey wheels with the Alpine White.

Here's a couple not so great garage photos of the car. Snow decided to come pretty early here so this is the best I can do for now...It should at least give you an idea of the contrast, though. The wheels look slightly lighter in person, but still dark, yet still noticeable that it's not black. |

A few more parts made their way to me over the last week or so. German Auto Werks rear diff brace and an Aero Kit from Dinmann (front lip and side skirts). I'm still waiting for my Vorsteiner style diffuser to arrive.
I was a bit unsure if I needed the brace as I didn't have any issues with my last m6, but I'll be running a little more power this go 'round (bigger meth nozzles and e30) so I decided the piece of mind was worth the cost. I probably won't get around to getting this installed until late Winter/early Spring. I'm loving how the Dinmann aero kit looks. Craftmanship is LEGIT as far as carbon fiber goes. I also love how flat the front lip appears to be. I believe that once it's mounted, it won't sit much lower than the factory plastic "lip" if any. For those wondering, the thicker, more flat part of the lip will be underneath the car. Only the front, more curved part will be exposed. As for the side skirts, they seem to follow the factory rocker panel lines extremely well. Almost making you notice the factory lines even more. This was just my perception when test fitting them. Hoping I'm able to get the aero kit put on sooner than later. The bumper and skirts need to come off for installation so the company who painted my bumper will be doing the job. More to come... |

Thanks for the photos! It is stunning. I have been debating different shades of grey from Prismatic. Certainly am liking the Evo Grey. Don't want black. Even the powder coaters on YouTube say they are tired of doing black.
Did you have any kind of "Clear" top coat put on (Clear Vision) or is the sheen from the Evo Grey alone? I am leaning towards a high gloss. TIA L |

I absolutely love how the Dinmann aero kit came out! I had the same shop who painted my bumper do the install since it requires removing the bumper and rockers. --If you attempt to install these without removing the bumper/rockers it will not sit flush at all.
Car was filthy (rain & shop dust) but I probably won't get around to taking quality photos until the Spring so these will have to do. I also polished the aero kit and coated it with CSL and 5 coats of ExoV4 - overkill, maybe, but I don't like PPF so that's the next best thing. Still waiting for my diffuser from JL Motoring... |

This has been one of my favorite threads
And hopefully it's been enough time now to say...it's kind of awesome that we get to have it twice. Looking forward to more posts! |

(My post copied from the rear diff brace thread)
Originally I didn't plan on getting my GAW rear diff brace installed until Spring but I lucked up and was able to sneak the car out on a 40 degree clear day here in NE Ohio. I reiterated to my local shop how important it was to follow the instructions, specifically the TQ specs. I even gave them GAW phone number in case they ran into any issues with the install. Two hours later I get a call that the brace is mounted and with zero issues. I pick the car up and immediately go for a drive (25 miles in total) to listen for the potential differential whine. And what do I hear? Absolutely nothing. Nothing different whatsoever. Radio off, windows up, down, city driving, highway speeds (up to 130mph) and no diff whine noise at all. Now I want to mention that my M6 is catless with Meistershafts SGT system and Project Gamma intakes. So it's not necessarily quiet in the cabin to begin with. So for you stock guys, you may or may not hear anything. But I can't imagine it would be loud. And if so, I'd say its one of two things based on these diff threads and convo's with GAW; 1. Improper install or 2. High differential wear. In my case, my car only has 25k miles in which 24.5k were stock and the car was not abused. So that's something to consider as well. I honestly don't even hear the "clunk" some reported from P to D. I don't think I'm going deaf? My ears are still relatively young at 32, lol. One thing I did notice, which for me was a bonus, was that the shifts feel slightly more aggressive and firm. This was only noticeable on WOT while in Sport+ and shift level 3, though. So as I'm sure you've imagined, no complaints with the brace & I would recommend it to anyone in the market. Lowered cars with CF aero kits are fun until it's time to get it on a lift |

I’m honestly not sure, man. On both of my M6’s I had the bumpers repainted and had the OEM reflectors painted at the same time so I never had to deal with swapping them out. I think there’s a DIY thread here somewhere that outlines it step-by-step.

You can CAREFULLY use a hair dryer to soften the bonding a little. Do not try to do it in cold temperatures or it is likely to break. Use some tape around the reflector area to reduce the heat on the surrounding paint.
