holly crap you had sucha BEAUTIFUL car, WHY O WHY did you have to do the CF to destroy it, i mean the first pics is just sooooooo hot and the car looks soooooooooo clean, the black wheels match up nice with the red color. i just dont get it

becuase someone crashed into my car. im telling you, give me time. I figured if i ahve to spend money to fix the car why not just drop money on parts that will improve performance.

Give me a few months, the car will be decent again.

edit: you think those are nice, you should have seen it with the alpinas.

Shahe,

What did the fenders cost?

DiplomaticM3 · #20 (**permalink**) 10-26-2003, 07:58 PM

idunno man, maybe you should keep the CF the way it is. That is awesome and especially with those sexy wheels. Its somethin new yet somethin old(reminds me of those old 50's muscle cars that were kept primered so they could spend more $ on speed). Hell thats what im gonna do. Cf rules.

my take: if they ever meant for e30 m3s to be pretty, they would have used paint that didnt crack and fade like hell.......

lightweight rules

Shahe,

Price!?

mrsha007 · #25 (**permalink**) 10-27-2003, 12:52 PM

fenders?

it cost me 600 per side. i think i over paid by 400 per side. these things werent worth it. but fack it, im an impulse buyer. they are well worth it for the weight savings and cool factor. But fiberatz is complete shit. he told me they are worth 1000 bucks each, and if he did them again, thats what he would charge. BUT, he didnt even put a clear coat on them, and the gel coat is half assed, infact, one of the fenders was missing an entire section of gel coat.

Fiberartz, terrible service

Rob ITR1035 · #26 (**permalink**) 10-27-2003, 01:02 PM

do you know the actual weight savings?

mrsha007 · #27 (**permalink**) 10-27-2003, 02:40 PM

its about 7lbs a side. doesnt seem like much, but these things weight about 1lbs each.

Rob ITR1035 · #28 (**permalink**) 10-27-2003, 02:49 PM

so, 14lbs plus what for the hood? 30?

44lbs off the front end would balance out perfectly with an M50

Because its not your car, its his car. If he wants to put a fruit basket on the roof and then hang shit turds wrapped in wax paper off his side view mirrors, then he can, cuz its him thats gonna have to smell it, and him thats paying for the car. And because not everyone can think like you/or I. I disagree with the mismatching as well, but lets not chop his balls off for it. For someone that has a "controversially styled" car, Im surprised your going after Shahe so vigorously.

plus 25 lbs from the front bumper, 50 lbs ( i think that much) for the AC, and then a few other lbs here and there.

i think overall, ive shed a good 200 lbs, easy.
