Adem1534's "F-35" M2 build thread
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com I will be modelling my M2 after the Lockheed Martin F-35B. There are three variants of the incredible F-35. The A, B, and C. The B variant is capable of short take offs, and vertical landings. My liscense plate will be "F-35 M2". My car is Mineral Grey, DCT. I figure going with the high tech theme matched the cars personality with the DCT transmission. My first mods will be: - MPerf spoiler - Blacked rear reflectors - iND Black Grill with M colors - iND front splitter (was told will be in development right away) - iND side skirts - Medium tint side and rear windows - Exhaust tips (make to be decided, any ideas?) Future Mods: - Suspension upgrade (don't know what yet) - LCI taillights - iND diffuser - F-35 sticker decal on gas cap. (will be very subtle, but hopefully a nice personal touch). - MAYBE a black stripe decals like of the Mperformance stripes but all black and thinner. Also, only on the side. Those are just what I can think of. By next year, I want the car to clearly reassemble the F-35. Cheers. I will use this thread for my car. Hopefully this is in the right place. SO EXCITED!!!!! I'd say, we already have greater things than what I grew up with in HALO.

I am about 99.999999999999% sure are. That is what they do. They will also have body colored. And they will sell painted front reflectors.

- Exhaust tips (make to be decided, any ideas[/QUOTE] I've been thinking what to do here too. 1. Have standard tips black chrome plated ( costs less than $100 ) 2. Once parts are available to order i'm considering ordering 1 off standard tip and 1 off titanium performance tip and see if they will fit. I know they don't fit the M3/M4 but they are slash cut and have guide pins. Diameters i believe should be the same. |

Yeah, MG was 2nd on my list, but damn do I love BMW Blues, thus I went with LBB. I still think LBB could look damn good in an Xpel Satin wrap. The only thing about a full wrap is they can get expensive to do the whole car.

Yeah, we'll see what they quote me here in CO. Perhaps there's a cheaper alternative to Xpel?

There are alternatives such as the 3M wrap and Suntek wrap. As far as I know the 3M products show yellowing and are inferior to that of the Suntek and Xpel. I've heard good things about both Suntek and Xpel, so those are the ones I was looking at. I was doing some research a few weeks back and Suntek has a 5 year warranty while the Xpel has a 10 year warranty.

Can't wait to see your "project" Adem1534! Yes, that wrap would look amazing! Even if you just left it MG, those mods are going to make the car look menacing. I am going LBB, but MG has quickly moved up to my second choice easily.
I do like that you are going DCT to match your F-35 theme, makes sense. That is a gorgeous fighter jet btw... Last edited by csbear; 02-20-2016 at 10:01 PM.. |

Not only is it labor intensive, it is "you get bent over" intensive. My recollection is that Xpel has some sort of self-correction abilities? But the details escape me at the moment...perhaps that's why it seems to be the most expensive.
