M6 mods done this weekend

Hey guys just finished up a weekend of mods figured I would share the outcome with you guys.

BMC filters, charcoal delete, RPI Scoops, block off plates

Had my old BMW wheels that were chrome and silver powder coated matte black

Changed out the chrome M6 logo to a black logo to match the theme

Replaced the Chrome kidney grilles with Matte Black

Painted Calipers Red with ///M logo

5% tint all the way around

Last thing to be done this weekend is get the Eisenmann Race exhaust installed. The cherry on top lol.

I will take some better pictures this weekend, hopefully it is nice outside long enough to wash the car and get some good pics taken.

Let me know what you guys think. Thanks

- Anthony

Preciate that Josh. Yes was kinda busy took 5 days to get my wheels back. That took the longest.

Performance wise I can tell a slight increase in power and quickness but not much at all. I imagine after I get the exhaust installed I will notice more of a difference. The on thing I did notice was it seems to be a little louder when you start her up. The engine sounds a little better to, not so restricted.

I have never experimented with plasti dip. I think the matte black wheels give it a more sporty/performance look. Thanks for the comments

hey, when i got my wheels done black I got a sharpie paint pen and went around the gray plastic on the roundel in the center of the wheel. I think it makes it look a ton cleaner and it takes all of 5 minutes. that's my pro-tip. feel free to copy. I can get a pic if you'd like.

Are u talking about the bmw center cap? I got new center caps that were chrome around the outside instead of using the stock one's where it's an ugly plastic color around the cap.
