New to the forum, love my F12!

[Texas83]

I've been lurking for about a year and am getting close to completing most of the weekend DIY mods I had planned. This is my favorite car yet!

Here's a list of exterior mods, I'll post up some interior mods pics later.
-mods4cars auto top
-ceramic tint 20% around
-powder coat rims, black chrome
-red brake calipers
-m sport spoiler added
-removed 650i emblem in rear
-escort 9500ci radar front/rear
-laser interceptor jammers, front/rear
-quad exhaust tips
-smoke front bumper, side reflectors
-m6 kidney grills
-veil anti-laser coat on front/rear
-trim moulding around all 4 sides (1.5" lips)
-rear fins added between exhaust outlets
-smoke lens cover rear license plate
-batman door led projector

Will be adding chrome-delete and 15mm wheel spacers all around this week.

Great choice black color always a safe bet. I like the red painted calipers.

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with it. For the exhaust, those are just the stock tips and I welded a polished steel bar down the center. Again I like to keep things as stock as possible but can't help but tinker around.

Also added the trim moulding between exhaust pipes and the diffuser fins beneath the rear bumper.

Welcome and a nice garage you have there with the Porsche as well.

Nice pics...but some details/info would really be helpful to go along with and explain the pics we're looking at (like how you explained what you did to the exhaust tips). Especially since a non-sport pkg 6 GC seems to be rare on this forum.

Looking good glad to see someone else in the Dallas area!

[MSUGOGRN]

Beautiful looking ride! Enjoy the ride and thanks for posting!

It's not a gran coupe, its a 2012 650i. Here's a list of exterior mods, I'll post up some interior mods pics later.

Thanks! It's my 2008 Porsche Cayman S, reliable as hell. I've got nearly 150K miles on it and still, it drives great and ages well since Porsche front design is so classic. Having 2 cars was a stretch with the wife but I let her drive the Porsche every week and then magically she was cool with it.

Cool...are you going to shadowline the bright trim in the front bumper down by the fog lights, too? I've been curious about how that's done (or if it is done at all)...and the shadow-lining (dechroming) is just relegated to the trim around the windows and tail pipes.

Starting with just chrome trim around the doors. Did the back and driver's door today. back end really needs 3" vinyl wrap instead of the 2" that's usually recommended. will end up redoing rear end once I get 3" vinyl.

Nice i like that color leather

[Texas83]

Added chrome-delete throughout, including side markers, door handles, front grill, and chrome trim below fogs. And added 15mm wheel spacers front & back.

Did you wrap the indicators and handles on car or off?

door handles stayed on, side markers and front trim pieces I removed. they come off easy as hell. didn't try and remove door handles since a simple oval shape.

[Texas83]

trickiest part was the rear trim on the trunk, around the two big bends where the convertible top flips up. if someone knows an easy way to remove those trim pieces that'd be helpful as hell, I want to redo those. also for those interested I had initially bought high gloss black vinyl but after laying the first strip I switched to a matte/satin black. looks way better IMO

Sweet looking ride! Love your red calipers! Are you thinking of smoking (tinting) your headlights?

thanks man. on the lights I'm gonna leave them as-is, not much of a fan on tinted head lights, but haven't seen them on a 650 before. the only thing left in chrome is the exhaust tips, might powder coat them at some point

[dannyklient]

damn, i might do that trim moulding too. looks neat.
