haha that sucks dude. The roads around here are Horrible.. but I've been pretty lucky avoiding a lot of the bigger lips into drive ways and larger speed bumps.

 

^^ so siick. sorry if someone already asked but what are you dropped on and what % tint is that?

 

Thanks man Car is on "SMA" coilovers. and the tint is 20% rear 35% fronts.

 

Who needs viagra when you have these pics?

 

my new look

 

^ Have any more angles? Not sure I'm on board with the "Neo-Chrome" look on Brick yet. But your car could definitely change my perspective!

 

Hi, Im Toby!


now

 

^beautiful!

its Titanium (not neo-chrome) lol ..

ill have more pics soon, im just waiting to get my bodykit painted and mounted...

 

Car looks good man! I'd be putting more $$ into my Brick if I wasn't always working on my 7


Well "Neo-Chrome" is the term often used to refer to the burnt titanium rainbow effect. It was started with the Project Kics lug nuts, but then caught on in the past couple years as being referred to all parts that look like that; even my Evo-R shift ****. Nothing wrong with it though, just like when people call any open-top 4x4 a Jeep; its just an association.

 

does anyone have any pictures of their brick w/ Any CF on it? especially a CF hood.. im curious to see what CF/Brick would look like

also.. Toby, what front lip is that?

 

Khanvict had a pic posted up somewhere... look for his progress thread. i don't think it flows very well to be honest. Brick is one of the best looking colors you can leave completely stock (body-wise) and still capture a very aggressive look.

 

What do you think of those seats Toby? I have only heard good things about them and pretty much the best for the money!

 

i must say it looked alot better in person than it does in this pic.. however i ended up selling my hood to go back to OEM ... brick > cf

 

im thinking of doing the TS style hood w/ the hood painted and the vents left CF.. i wana see what that looks like

 

CF on Brick is a big 'no-no'. The colors are too similar, so it looks more "off" than add contrast, such as on a white car for example.

You can see here how much it really doesn't flow-

yea im not really a fan of carbon fiber on a brickyard. Thats why i didn't buy the carbon fiber lip and just paid to get it painted matte black to match the grill at the time lol. But if i had an 06+ bumper id probly rock the carbon fiber...goes better with their grill.


btw my lip is veilside V1 front for 03-05

 

how durable is that lip, and what material is it?

..on a separate note, idk why more people dont black out their tails since it comes out to be the same color as the car.. or atleast with my car it did:

 

durability is great, i hit it so many times to the point where my entire front bumper flexed but its still in one piece. I think its Fiberglass.

and im not a fan of tinted/painted taillights. I like the contrast of the red.

 

If that happened it would not be fiberglass. One little bend and fiberglass will crack in half. If its an authentic Veilside its probably urethane, which is bendable and much higher quality.

Agreed about no tinted tails too. IMO it just makes them look dirty

 

My friend just got a new camera and wanted to practice on some of my cars. They didn't come out too bad for someone who has never used one before! Also, these are raw images, no editing.









The old BMW that I've been restoring. 1988 735i. 1 of 150 7-series ever produced with a 5-spd, and 1 of between 50-70 within those 150 to be ordered with an LSD from the factory. Supposedly the only one remaining with under 100k original miles, but that's just what I've been told. I've been working for a while now to return the car to as close to showroom condition as possible. Its been a fun project when I'm not playing with the Z.
