Your White 6GT3 is so nice, do the long ones. Then get the LWFW!

Thanks
I've had mine for 6 months now and you just have to be careful going in an out. Get the one which lights up the word GT3. It's cool at night.

It was hard getting the OEM off. I used my hair dryer to take some of the adhesive off but it was a struggle. I suggest peeling it off slowly so it'll look clean. Be careful. CF can be addicting. Which one did you get?

That's what I said in the beginning also about CF mods. If you want more CF products, try DBcarbon in Germany. They have good pricing on most of their products.

So did you put a halt on modding your M? I'm done with mine already.

Thanks! I did get the long ones. I haven't installed them yet, but I plan to use a heat gun rather than a blow dryer.

I will likely get the inner sills as well at some point, as those get just as scuffed up as the outer sills, if not more so. Looks like crap!

What about that kick panel over the fuses where the battery hook in hole is? That seems to get dirty and scuffed up pretty easily, but I haven't seen any CF advertised for that. Anyone have a solution for that?

I must admit the LWFW does intrigue me, but scares me a bit as well.

By the way, I had my center console painted white and WOW it adds so much pop to the interior. I love it and highly recommend it.

If you plan on using the heat gun, I would plan on using low power in case you take off more than just the adhesive. The inner sill will definitely finish up the look in that area. I have them both .

yeah ... pretty much done. after taking off close to 200 lbs, CSL exhaust, interior, TCK suspension etc i think i am done. there is only so much you can do to mod the M3 then you start feeling pretty stupid with all the money spend. it's kind of like trying to lipo and dress up the high school queen to make it look like Miss Universe - you can only go so far. but i do love our E46. what a fun car to drive!
