Dallas, Its a gundo hacked exhaust with AWE tips.
Love the car, and that interior is awesome, wish I could have found that interior for a white C2S!!! 2 Q's:

1- How do you like the Gundo+AWE tip combo? (I am considering doing exactly that)
2- Where did you get the lip & grill, dealer or somewhere online? (I am debating a gt3 front clip vs a similar set up.
3- I see the LED strips, look like the one's my friend has on his M6, how do you like them? (I am considering ROTec DRL's, I am def getting the ROTec tails and considering options for the front)

Speed safe!

Thanks for the compliments!
1. I really love the gundo+AWE combo. Since my came with dual outlet exhaust tips, upgrading to quad was a no brainer. The AWE tips fill the exhaust opening very nicely, but keeping the chrome clean is a pain; I gave up after my 2nd trackday lol
2. The lip is made by GT3Tek, I bought it from FVD. I highly recommend the GT3Tek lip, very well made and the fitment is great. Much more aggressive look while still maintaining stock front clearance. Here is a link to the GT3 bumper smile info (http://www.rennline.com/GT3-Smile-Ve...oductinfo/E90/)
3. I like the LED strip in the front. I bought them on ebay for ~30, since I had the bumper off to install the rennline mesh kit, it was a breeze. I just could not justify spending $500+ on LED DRL/turn signals. I did get Repo LED taillight, but that is another mess by itself.

Nicely done M3drei !

- are those champion wheels ? regardless, they look great !

- the front looks a little too busy with the gt3 vent, led, front lip and the decal.. perhaps remove the decal from the front bumper and leave the decals on the side ?

The GT3 wing came with the car, I am not sure what brand but the quality is excellent!

The wheels are Kinesis F110, I am told they are made in the same factory as Champions in Japan, and they are even lighter than Champion RS171. They are 18lbs in the front, and 20lbs in the rear.

I do agree with you the front is a little too busy. I am playing with the idea of removing the LED's.

What do you think?

great job. I agree with the front LED, rear lettering delete and lowering the ride height...that would make it perfect in my eyes
