Check out @cp.f87m2, I believe he has the CF version.

Dropped off the car at EAS c/o Kevin@EAS for the RKP 1x1 weave Carbon Fiber roof install.



Some distractions while waiting for the roof install to finish:

I made an instagram decal design


Got new BBS Wheels center caps


And a poll on instagram for the StudioRSR roll cage color. It was a difficult decision but we have a clear winner.








10 days later.... (Photos by EAS)









Baby M hanging out with an E36 M3 at EAS

Cleaned the wheel then took some snapshots of the car's last few days as a stock car. There's too much gap going on the wheels.















Also that day, my instagram decal arrived!



Next: 3M Crystalline tint.

It looks like an April fools joke but then the reflection of the plates matches the wing.

Big fan of your car and follow you on Instagram (as @joshtrippibgwirds)! An inspiration for fellow LBB owners 👌👌👌 Although I did get fooled with the wing addition 😂

Thanks to Sunshield Glass Tinting for accommodating me, there were 5 men working on my car to apply 3M crystalline CR70 all around including the windshield. I used to shift my body away from the sun when driving, but now direct sunlight through the windows never bother me anymore. One of the best things I've done to the car.





Next is Suntek paint protection film for the CF roof and railings by Vaia Design (He drives an M2 as well)..

[HandmadeShifts]

Carbon fiber rock chips can be a pain to repair; I have decided to added a layer of protection by way of Suntek paint protection film installed by Alvaro of Vaia Design located at Riverside, CA. They mainly do car wraps and ceramic coatings, you can see that they have a controlled/closed environment with all the lighting needed. The film is absolutely invisible on the roof.




Ultramagnetical was at the scene and had decided to jump in and install the Eventuri Blue kevlar / carbon fiber intake.






Next is Alva applying one of his coating, Ceramic Pro Sport which added a significant gloss and slickness to the car's finish.




And some snapshots of out mini M2 Party. Initially, we went to a mall's rooftop but we got kicked out because of the M2's burbles, we were told by the security that we were "rev'ing" and that he is a "car guy" that he knows everything about cars. 3 M2s running at 10 mph at roughly 2k rpm. We just said "K." and left.






Woke up the next day with this Vaia Design's Ceramic Pro Sport gloss.

The VRSpeedFactory chargepipe for BMW's N55 engine was a last minute addition, it shipped the same day and arrived perfectly the day before the install. Price, handling, shipping and packaging couldn’t be any better.
Fitment: fits like a glove, OEM rubber gasket seated perfectly, OEM C-clips locked right in place.
Design: comparing it to the OEM CP, you can easily tell that VRSF has a better shape and flow; its 2-piece design allows ease of installation and is forgiving in tight spaces.
Build quality is top-notch, not a single flaw, aluminum feels solid and locked in place, finish feels and appears durable and you have an option to use a methanol injection kit.
10/10 bang-for-the-buck chargepipe for the M2. I don’t see any reason to spend more than VRSF's price point, it is truly all you need.





















Installed by Studio RSR.
