Just not worth the pain.
What will be worth the "pain" will be putting on the carbon fiber bits esp the hood!!! 
Make no mistake if I had not bought my LCI I would buy the slightly obese M2C in a heartbeat. It will be a great car too!! |
I'd be happy with an LCI.
But I want to do an ED next year, so I have to buy new. I think either is a win.
As long as the CF bonnet and boot aren't too costly, I may do them, as much because I think they'll look awesome on a BSM car with the CF exposed as per the HS car. Plus weight savings too, but why not get best of both worlds.
I am hopeful that with BMW's acquisition of that CF company (I think it was an acquisition anyway, not just a partnership) that they can/will put out CF bits a little cheaper than they have in the past. That said, I expect every major piece (boot, bonnet, each fender) will probably cost $1k.
I think the biggest bang for the buck on this car though is going to be aftermarket or M-Perf exhaust. Save weight and fix the sound.
I'm leaning toward the AA Signature setup, but will be interested in seeing the M-Perf exhaust, as long as it doesn't cost $6k like I think it will.
