Rotors look great.

I just went through the whole thread. Just wow. So you are the Charlie of the West Coast. Good thing I don't have a automatic car. Love everything you did to the car though

Lol Tony. Thanks Tony, Bill, Dane, Cam, BCleave, Marcus, John, William, Jay Jay.

"The Charlie of the West...". . Charlie is out of my league, but I do have my share of personal touches on Ness. More to come shortly.

I took off the calipers to paint them, they were getting a little rusty/shoddy. I figured since I was doing all that, I might as well take them off. I just used High Temp Engine/Header spray paint. The silver color looks a little more blue-ish than I thought but I don't mind, I kinda like it. I took off the steel lines after my Indy (who bled the (ABS) brakes for me) complained about the perils of steel braided lines and the potential for leaks if they get tweaked. It really didn't matter either way for me so I went back to OEM.

Update:
1 - added BMW OEM c/f splitters (I still need to shore up that "seam" gap).
2 - swapped replica rear diffuser with BMW OEM c/f diffuser
3 - added trunk "lip" spoiler. I had an OEM one wrapped in c/f and had it waiting around until I got my splitters on. Verts didn't come with them so I know some people won't like it, but I do.
4 - when I badged with "ZHP", I de-badged the "330". I like the "330", so I now re-badged with a more subtle black on black "330". I kinda like it as I get used to it, but if it's not your thing, that's OK.... curious what others think just for the heck of it. (You won't hurt my feelings either way).

Nice mods.

I really like the "tone on tone" 330 badge. I've been kicking back and forth as I've dechromified my car whether to swap out my 330Ci badge for black. But hey, what about "imola on imola" That'd be more HP than a supercharger kit, right there.

John I like the mods. You did the spoiler right with glossy CF wrap and I like the look of the vert with spoiler. The CF accents are done right in my eyes - subtle and look OEM.

As for the badge...I really like the black 330i that you have but don't like the chrome ZHP on the left hand side. It doesn't give me the same clean OEM feel. Awesome work overall!

Looks awesome man. The splitters, are those the group buy ones or your other ones?

[johnrando]

Thanks for the comments Jeff, Sean, John. Those were actually not the group buy ones. I had the GB ones but sold them. Frankly, they look exactly the same except for a hole in the bottom of the BMW ones.

That was what I thought after seeing, thanks for the confirmation sir.
