No probs...all goods

 

I like the vertex side skirts and rear bumper, now, is the rear bumper an add on peice? Or can you get a full bumper so it is nice and smooth like the HKS Z? Wondering becuase I would like the Vertex rear bumper, and side skirts, and I dont know what front bumper I want, maybe carbon creations nismo replica? That would look good, at least in my head, what do you guys think? Thanks for advice!

 

Yeah, its a complete replacement bumper.

 

Hey thanks Will, and nice M3! I keep having my GF slap me everytime I drive by a BMW dealer and say I want to go buy an m3, lol...I think if she wasnt here I would go get myself into more debt, but my Z is going to be paid off by Christmas, and that is something that keeps me from going to BMW, and the fact the BMW owners are GAY! :P :P


Can you tell me if you know, are those stock calipers and aftermarket rotors? I might just upgrade to OEM Brembos and aftermarket rotors like that....it looks hot! Someone got some for sale? lol :P

 

Haha...yeah some M3 owners are looney..Im a mod on m3forum.com and trust me...ive seen it all hahaa. The M3 is a great car, I love it...but to me its still lacking power..and power potential...at least compared to what Im used to with JDM cars.


The fronts of the Z are a full brembo upgrade, however the rears are the OEM Track Brembo calipers with Aftermarket Brembo Rotors...I think thats a sweet "low-cost" Front and Rear brembo set up....If I got a Z, I would do that same set up...

 

They make an big brake kit that comes in that Gold color? I need a link! lol.

 

Oh...sorry, my bad, I forgot to mention....Brembo doesnt normally offer that...Brembo just did a special favor for HKS on this one...

 

That's hella racist....

 

Can someone tell me what screws to use to install the sideskirts? I just bought a vertex full kit and am trying to save a couple of bux by installing it myself (painted already). I've got the front and rear bumpers on but was unsure how to install the sides. What screws did you use? Anything I need to know before I drill into my car? How do I prevent rust later on? Any other tips would be great. Sorry for the noob questions...

 

you jacked the kit that i was going to buy from feilay lucky i didn't pay him yet.

 

Huh? I did buy it from feilay but how did I "jack" it from you if you didn't pay him yet?

 

dude, don't worry about it, i'm not flaming you. it's not your fault the seller did that. I had cash ready, he was preparing to get me a final total to pay him (for the shipping and whatnot), but he never did, and just sold it to you. I'm just cheesed that I didn't get it (cause I agreed to buy it the day he posted it for sale).

enjoy the kit, it's a great deal!

 

hey noodle man, i sent you a PM abut the vertex kit, i have some on sale right now. holler!

 

Car looks even better with the TE then the other volks!

 

Yeah...I liked it more with the TE than the GT-Vs too...

 

its weird ... something with the GT v make the body kit not look as good ... but the TE go real well with it.


Also OT ... can you run a full size intercooler like that with the HKS S/C ... one of the main reasons I didnt like the HKS S/C was the wimpy intercooler that came with it.

 

Yes, you can. In fact that car has the HKS S/C kit on it. We basically upgraded to that front mount because we built the motor and increased the boost levels to explore the upper limits of the car

 

IS it running the hks fcon as well? MY friend swears by the HKS SC with the Fcon Pro

 

Yes, with the upgrades to the motor we upgrade from the Fcon that comes with the SC kit to a Fcon Vpro.

 

Is that the HKS highpower TI exhaust?
