What to do.... what to do...?

mikegiven2fly · 05-25-2014, 05:23 PM

I've owned my car for almost a month now. I joined here for some ideas and now I am asking for some help. I have a 2013 Active Hybrid 3 and want to do some mods, here is what I have so far. M6 19' Wheels, Tints, Black Grill, and not a mod but bad ass accessory is my Escort Max. With that said, I haven't been able to find anyone doing any intake, chips, or exhaust mods...is it just not possible or not smart? Only thing left I can think of is a rear spoiler lip, but body kits are not my thing. Suggestions?

I have to say, I love those wheels.

Pretty sure you won't find any powertrain mods for a hybrid. It kind of defeats the purpose, even if it could be made to work.

Stealth blinker bulbs
Painted reflectors
Driver's door key hole delete
K40 LASER jammer

Intake and exhaust will probably have to be fabbed up custom, but that is not really very challenging for a professional (shop/technician).

Are you leasing or buying?

Thank you!

Those are my favorite wheels. Did you order those from BMW, or get them from a 3rd party? How much did they run you if you don't mind my asking?

ejfp83 · 05-26-2014, 06:53 AM

How about some springs , H&R sports ?

Ebay and I paid $650, I called the number and saved $30.

Mobster1983 · 05-29-2014, 02:28 AM

Wow. Was it a used set? Can you post a link if not?

*edit*

I just searched ebay and it looks like there are a few companies that are selling that style wheel now. Just a couple months ago you couldn't find it. And decent prices as well. I'll have to look at a couple and check the weight vs stock sport line wheels.

Love the wheels as well
