Going on soon. Technically yes, I could provide some crappy iPhone shots the second I get the car back but it needs a wash and I'd rather get a real shoot done with an actual camera so it will probably be a few days before I can b̷r̷a̷g̷ share

Installed an m performance style carbon rear diffuser

Installed the blackline reverse tints

And then for black Friday I ordered:

Bootmod3 with all OTS maps
VRSF Catless Downpipe (cerakoted) (back ordered; 12/16 estimate)
VRSF Charge Pipes (back ordered; 01/11 estimate)
VRSF 6.5" Competition intercooler (Coming in Monday)
MST Turbo Inlet Pipe v2 (Coming in Friday)
Turbosmart VR11 Dual Port BOV (Came in yesterday)
Dinan Exhaust (back ordered; 12/31 estimate)

Curious to hear the difference of my fabspeed catted downpipe vs. the catless, and the new exhaust.

Nothing done yet but a few days ago the MST inlet pipe came in, last night my BM3 enet cable came in and my VRSF intercooler was just delivered today. My previously delayed downpipe and charge pipes were just shipped today and expected to be delivered within the next week!

Nice build btw.

Thanks! I have the dinan air intake; its barely noticeable over stock to be honest. I can hear it with the windows down, but I think the noise is really prohibited by the closed box design. Power wise? Probably no different than stock haha. But...it looks cool!

I had an injen with a large metal shroud on my n20 f30 and it was super loud in comparison. I also had removed a grommet in the firewall to allow the jb4 cable to pass through to the obd2 port so that may have increased the heard noise in the cabin on the f30.

Another step made towards de-chroming. very happy with this overpriced mod😆

SN: just pop the chrome trim off, taking the backplate off is 100% not needed.

Just dropped the stock M2 off at EAS!

Today it's getting: M performance coilovers, Macht Schnell spacers (12 and 10 mm), Front and rear reflector delete, RKP carbon diffuser, PSM style high kick carbon spoiler, Dinan intake, TRE front lip, Fabspeed sport cat, Dinan res delete, and Autoteknic carbon fender trim.

In a few weeks I'll add the M2C carbon brace retrofit.

Super excited to drive it.

Jeeez! I hope you have a build thread

None yet, but I was considering it! I know my mods are nothing custom or super special, so I wasn't sure there would be any real interest. But I guess it can't hurt to at least do some before and after pics and driving impressions.

If anything, it is a good way to document what you've done. I'll definitely be interested regardless!

Just got the confirmation that I can pick the car up tomorrow morning, first thing. And EAS has their photographer documenting the process for me. Now I just wish the car wasn't so filthy right now.

Just installed the Turner carbon corner braces.

Haven’t driven the M2 enough yet to tell. With COVID restrictions it may be a while.

Re-upped SiriusXM @ $5/month and paid for the entire year. The card expires in 4 months. When they try to auto renew at full price next year they will find nothing but a BIG DECLINE and FO!!!!

Had Sirius for over 5 years. All you have to do is ask for a better price and you get it. It works just like the cable companies.

We should get our cars together for an exhaust sound comparison video of fabspeed vs fabspeed and Dinan res delete before I swap my fabspeed with the vrsf catless

Finally got a couple of pics of the calipers now they're done.
I found it best to remove the calipers so as to prep & paint them correctly.
I used VHT 'real red' caliper paint, fitted some new M decals & finished with VHT clear caliper paint.

Love it! The 666m covers up quite a bit of the caliper so I'm glad you went with something super bright.

You know I was never much into wheels, tires, brakes, and calipers before the m2. Now I feel like it's easily the mod I look most forward to.

Thanks for sharing!

Yep, I'm done with auto-billing & begging companies to keep my rate. Main reason I switched to HULU for entertainment. ATT / DirecTV / TWC won't EVER see another dime of my money! I know I sound cheap but it's based on principle. If they didn't play the price increase / auto-bill game they would still be getting paid.

I know

So unfortunately only 2 out of the 4 wheels came out near perfect. There were some defects that I deemed unacceptable on the other 2 and all 4 were sent back for a respray in order to get a perfect color match. This pushes things back a bit and I will not have my car till late next week probably and won't have a real shoot for a few days after that

I did install one wheel just to see what it would look like though
