My 2006 M6 with mods

i've been watching this board and now am deciding to start joining in on the fun of posting. I purchased my M in Jan 07 and absolutely love this thing. It's only brought out on clear days during the spring/summer/sometimes fall. I just started to do my mods to it this past year. I'm still waiting to get in DYNOed but i got to figure out where to get that done at. well enough said, here is the list of mods and pics

Current Mods:
-Black Suede inserts in the seats
-bright white LEDs in cabin
-bright white LEDs for corners/running lights
-Angel Eye Upgrade
-Carbon Air Filter removed
-RPI Air Scoops
-RPI Pulley system
-Evosport Headers
-ASR Gen II exhaust
-ASR ECU tune

Future Mods:
-ACS rear deck spoiler
-20"-21" rims (any suggestions)
-Vorsteiner Front Lip
-Vorsteiner Rear Diffuser

i no longer have either set of the rims you see. both were 22's. too heavy for my mods now.
sorry about some of the pics, taken from a Treo Cameraphone<--- CRAP

Beautiful M.

Definitely take a look at HRE, DPE or 360 Forged for a set of 20 or 21" wheels.

The Vorsteiner parts will look killer as well. Feel free to contact me regarding any of those mentioned products if you have any questions.

bighans56 your M6 looks beautiful.
The tint is essentially limo quality. In your state there are no issues with front windshield tinting? It's not allowed in Florida.

IMO you should do the front kidney grills in black or CF.

Get the M6 dyno'ed.

bighans56 when you come down to Florida, no worries, Abid from ASR will get you set up to dyno your M6 while you are here.
Abid is a great guy and will get you hooked up.
Things are really busy down here. A lot of things are going on and the future is exciting.

Call ASR (786)258-0009 and talk to Abid before you come down to give him a heads-up.

Cheers
Ranger
