very nice! have you considered to vinyl your interior trim to gloss black or carbon vinyl? i think that would look amazing!

Definitely going to get the gloss oem performance kidneys eventually and i'm thinking about brushed metallic black for the interior. AlphaOm did an awesome job with his interior using that vinyl.

Also I want to get a tune, but can't decide between PROcede, Cobb and BMS. (I know I just opened a whole can of worms on this subject ha!)

Congrats, very nice.

Nice crimson. I think gloss black wrap would look great with that interior color.

Crimson FTW!

I'm digging the rear cigarette lighter retrofit! I was under the impression this wasn't doable for the E90 LCI at the current time...can you post a link to the parts you used, or the guide you followed, etc?

I really like the black grilles on CR but I'm not too sure if the stripes work. It's much easier to pull off on a grey white or black car. Regardless, looking good

Happy Robot mod!

alexneil · 06-02-2012, 01:06 PM

Few photos I did just to mess with Photoshop CS6

Edit: Just realized the photos didn't upload correctly. I think the compression killed the quality of the images.
Edit2: Fixed.
