E46 ///M3 VS. Florida Heat

j3ff12ey28 · Sat, May-12-2012, 10:54:15 PM

Just a few quick shots. I really wanted to keep the windows not tinted but after moving here in Tampa Florida I realized that it's nearly impossible to not tint the windows. 30% on the sides and 15% on the rear window with Llumar CTX film. Still looking clean/classy. I didn't want the sun/heat to destroy the cinnamon interior and I opt not to enter the vehicle feeling like I'm walking into an oven every time.

Oh and the new lip ain't too shabby either. Have to watch for misc crap on the roads and bumps even harder now The front end just got THAT much lower

I need a real photographer/photoshoot ASAP!!!

Tint looks good as well as the car.

Is that an Iconz front lip on there?

Doing it right! I love the slammed OEM 19's look; if only mine weren't curbed!

Be right back...gonna go get some new socks

Do you think you could tighten something up on the muffler to get it more snug up against the diffuser? Makes the back-end from straight on look a little "loose". other than that

What tires specs you running with your oem rear squared setup? Looks like the fronts poke out more than the rears

Supp Deep! Nah man it's a off brand lip just like the Iconz one. Bought it off a good friend/fellow member on the boards. LMK if your interested I'll shoot you his contact info. fitment/quality is hands down 9/10.

Thanks man! Yeah some of mine has some major rash themselves. Guess they were the best the previous owner could scrounge up. Still looks good though

Not too sure lol. Pretty sure I tightened the nuts as tight as can be. Not too sure if I can shorten the exhaust/muffler hangers. Dont think it's too bad.

265/35 rears and 225/35 fronts. I think the rears have a 10mm spacer & can't recall the fronts, may have to double check

Don't know if the slight stretch from the 225 tire makes the front wheels look like they poke out more or what. Honestly they dont look bad at all in person, looks flush rolling. It's just an optical illusion
