For sure bud. Once I finish up the M3 mirrors I will definitely text you and figure out how to get the rear window auto up modded

I bought light smoke from headlight armor. Here's the link:

They're pricy but I've had them on my ///M for 3 years now w/o any issues. :thumbsup

that's what my tails are right now 50% :thumbsup

I have been looking at braking systems recently since talking to Stuart at the Mafia reunion meet. The kit Stu recommended to me are the StopTech Trophy series BBK. I may end up doing my brakes first before doing seats although there's really nothing wrong with my OE brakes, After seeing Stuart's touring in person, I've been feeling the itch to change them out with something much better. Thanks Stu!!! :thumbsup Suggested retail on these are ~ $7200 so it's either I go with the Recaro Sportster CS seats and keep my stock brake setup or go with these and keep the ///M seats (which are comfortable enough for me) ...

The setup I'll be looking at are 355mm rotors on each corner / 6 piston calibers on the Front / 4 piston calibers on rear.

He did capture the essence of the CSL bootlid and diffuser very well with this shot. Hope to see more pics if he has them...:thumbsup

Thanks jayjay! Not really a tough choice...I figure it is always better to have awesome brakes before doing anything. The OE seats on the ///M already look great. Only problem is that they are heavy but then I have plenty of speed on the ///M already...:) Wouldn't you say Devlin and Dane? ;)

Dang those things are purdy.

Charlie those brakes are amazing. Here's my thing. When I saw your ///M, I was insanely impressed with eveything. But, I'll be honest here, the brakes looked kind of wimpy compared to rest of the car. Everything was so amazing on your car, you need brakes to match. Like you said, the OEM seats are really nice. I think you'll get more out of the brake upgrade.

Dhuuu iieeeet! :thumbsup
