Thanks!! do you know of any easy way to remove those damn emblems? i would also like to get rid of the RX 7 emblem on the back. I dont wanna chip any of the paint off, or if i do, if i could get a good way to repair it i would do it asap. And what kinds of rims/wheels would you suggest?
As for what wheels to replace those with, it is really just preference. Not big and chrome though haha... Just look through some of the pics of peoples cars on here and see which ones you think look the best. Then either look into getting some of them or some like them...
He isn't talking about getting rid of the actual cold air intake itself, just the hole in front bumper... Getting rid of it wouldn't hurt anything. The cold air intake would still get plenty of air flow and work perfectly fine without that hole being there.

Hey guys, just got this car. Its an 04 with an 07 rebuilt engine. DS-02 Dropstar rims with black blades. K&N Cold Air Intake, Greddy strut bar, expeed exhaust, Louis Vuitton accented interior, CF hood, and of course... Lambo Doors (welded) (... go ahead and rip on the doors, everyone does, but i enjoy them) Let me know what you guys think
\
\
-get rid of the the K&N,intake. not a cold air intake.
-expeed exhaust? never heard of it.
-LV interior looks terrible. it doesnt look too unsightly but, who ever put it on did a half *** job, looks all wrinkly and cheap. if your going to do it, do the whole interior too, such as the front doors and seats. but obviously LV would not fit right on an 8.
-lambo doors... meh could do without it... does nothing
-also that duct looks terrible. go back to stock or a modest lip or kit
-the 2tone looks kind of cheesy.
-get rid of the chrome door handle covers
-get rid of the seat covers
-paint the vented hood mesh black

i literally just got the car. that intake costs about 300 dollars is full carbon fiber and as for the painted wheels, well personally id rather have them then ******* 20"s of eye sore and retarded ricer doors from 2fast2furious. I can state my opinion and personally I feel if you don't agree with what I said you are someone with literally the worst taste in cars I have ever seen and should have your keys and license turned in
excuses, excuses. You paid $300.00 for one of the worst intakes on the market. And real carbon Fiber? You are funny dude. I agree this guys ride looks pretty bad in it's current state but you are riding around on spray painted wheels so I wouldn't talk too much **** on him if I were you.

So, looks like I will be removing the DUB emblems this weekend, thanks for the input on those. I am also looking into a gunmetal powdercoating the rims. What do you guys think?? (Also paint the metal on the CF hood, What if I painted the metal winning blue? any comments? )

This car isnt that bad. If he removed the chrome wheels, intake gap in the front bumper, and got some nice volks or advans, it wouldnt look bad. Funny how some hideous chorme wheels can change the look of a car so much.
edit: forgot the dub badges. Go badgeless

I hope all people on these forums aren't as ignorant as you. I used to own an M3 and at least the people on bimmerforums read posts before responding. If you had read what I said, I said I JUST GOT THE CAR. So either you're illiterate or just dumb. I'm partial to the latter man.
Ps I can do that too

Okay
You are the one who stated what it cost and the fact that it is Carbon Fiber (what that has to do with anything is beyond me) so obviously you are proud to have it
