vip3r87's slightly modded 3!

Hey all! Just got some new pics of my ride; I'll let the pics do the speaking!

Want/need tints, and possibly rims. I want to powdercoat the stock ones over the winter, does any one have any ideas on wheel colour? I am thinking either white or bronze/gold or maybe gunmetal.

Ideas?

nice and clean!!! :thumbsup

bronze/gold would look good.

Nice pics!
For winters I would go matte black.

My bad, I meant to say over the winter I want to get the rims refinished! I have steelies/tires for winter! The gold/bronze is my idea too, gotta get my photoshop going to check it out

winter mode :(

nice car always loved that color!

wow man you made me fall in love with true red :D your car looks beautiful..you lower it ??.would look nice with the lip stealth has

:O True red? It's Velocity red!

Thanks tho guys! Yes the car is lowered on Pro-kits. Wouldn't really want it any lower for a dailydriver. Tints will be coming, just gotta book an appointment!

and I agree, a lip would be perfect...maybe this summer!

What year is your car?

2005 :P

ass shot. Will have new pics once I get my tints and my possible taillights, still up in the air about the lights. New exhaust installed last weekend, short throw shifter the week before. She's comin together!

New rims, and pics of my OEM 2 piece lip kit, DIY HD lip, SR*S Exhaust, and Speedy Sphere rims powdercoated by Taj at MetalCoaters with 225/45/17 rubber. She's coming together slowly :)

Nice rims

Thanks dan!

Just painted my center caps...not perfect, but they look alright

What did you use to hold up your HD lip? Looks suttle, yet nice!

those rims are unique, i really like them.
next you should get eye lids.

yea I really like those rims too....pretty unique for a 3.

Thanks a lot guys! I thought so too. I wasn't too sure if they were going to work with the 3, but Taj made them beautiful, gotta get some new pics with the center caps.

I do want eyelids, but might wait til next year. The HD lip is being held on by double sided tape, and self tapping screws every 3 inches or so, or wherever there was a body line that I wanted it to flow with

To come:
-tints
-aftermarket LED taillights
-cross drilled rotors(once my current brakes need replacing)

and thats about it.

So far my car has
-Eibach prokits
-17" Speedy Sphere rims
-3000k HID fogs
-5000k HID headlights
-ebay yellow bulbs for the high beams
-chrome dipped front turn signals
-2 piece OEM lip w/HD lip
-SR*S exhaust (hks style)
-CS LED Interior kit w/license plate light
-8" Boston Acoustic stealth sub w/amp

Coming in the mail as we speak:
-hub centric rings for my rims
-heated seat DIY kit

...wow, don't realize the money I've put into this car until I list it out like that, yikes

The wheels look like the standard Mini wheels for the non-Sport/Premium cars. They're 15" though.

Er I think that's the home depot lip. The black part anyways.

interesting wheels

lip was a homedepot lip

the 2 piece OEM was bought off ebay painted in Velocity Red. I can try to link you with the seller, he might have it and can paint it in any colour before shipping

look like the old Porsche rims but with a lip, the definately look cool!

New pic for the fall...


I am dreading putting the snowtires on :(
