Nah I can't. I don't like the Akra Diffuser or else I would have bought it. I needed the four equal fins. Don't ask why I just neeeeeeeeded that. Haha

Yesterday I swapped out some small items, I was very hesitant to actually do them as I didn't want to go down this route with this car but a couple things kinda fell in my lap and here we are.

I swapped out the stock AW mirror caps and mirror glass in favor of OEM CF Mirror Caps and Euro Mirror Aspherical Glass. I'm still undecided on keep the CF but will decide to leave or swap the stock back on after I get my other CF pieces on. I also believe that CF caps look good with a CF roof which I'm also on the fence because I really really enjoy the slick top. I mean I could always plug in the CF roof and wrap it white!? Wouldn't that be something haha.





I'm going to have to grab some shots of it outside to get a better feel for them. As for the euro glass, it's just a nice to have like having some JDM parts for my Honda's back in the day. They don't break the bank but add a little touch IMO. Not for everyone but that's ok, I'm not spending YOUR money, right?

All about the little touches. Looks fantastic. I want to do this mod to mine. Totally get the JDM/Euro "rarity" over here in the states too.

Those were FI-Rs that I tried out but 19" were just too much for me, love my e88s though!

If you plan on keeping the majority of it stock then CS is a good move. If you're like me and rip stuff off a brand new car, go Comp.

Thx dood! I believe that the build will be "complete" covid has provided some lengthier delays than I'd like but all good. I'm still enjoying the process.

Great build and I must say your photo skills are on point too. Some really great shots. Love the one in the street of trees and the night one in b/w.

Thanks for that, the photo skills are something that I'm passionate about but don't have that much time to go and really spend my days improving. I just try my best each chance I get.

Got pics of your roadster? I still have my AW 3.0si to go with my AW E92 M3. My wife thinks I'm nuts for buying AW again. 😂

Thanks for not lying. IMO it's the best option. I think that all the other lips with the little wings look like crap. My build and choices may not be for everyone which is fine by me.

Well if you already have 2, might as well get another one to match the set
Here's my Roadster:


Ebisu absolutely nailed the look I want to go for at some point with the gold BBS FI-R. The gold tint and split spoke design is perfect. I think it'll go so well with the Imola Red interior, and red brake calipers should I go for that one day! I've already got those pictures saved for inspiration
