Yup, kind of been here before browsing and what not, and since I no longer care for the people on a different board, I thought I'd find a new second home. My first home is and always will be e46fanatics.com, so many great people there, as I'm sure there are here...anyway...

My car:

My under hood surprise

My "ricer" mods:

And how they look 99% of the time when I'm not playing with the filters:

Other then that, I have UUC sways, I"m undecided right now about what rims I want, I have the M3 steering wheel(highly suggest it) and yes, I bought the supercharger before I bought clears....shuddupaboutit

I am a web developer, I work for an IT Consulting firm. I also run the site: http://www.dealerrater.com/ check it out if you haven't already, you can read reviews on dealers and write your own. There are primarily BMW dealers there now, because that's who I typically communicate with on the Net.

More then you needed to know, but who doesn't like new stuff, right?

Wow nice angel eyes.......Now here in Cobb, if you had those on your car, you would have to remove them in front of the cop...and the funny thing is if you couldn't remove them. haha lets just say youll be riding with him instead.

but nice upgrade. makes you look twice.

Hey guys, the Angel Eyes are from http://www.umnitza.com they are halogen based and come with 24 sets of color filters you can apply to the fiber optic cables that allow you to change the color of the light. I don't ride around with the Red and Blue of course, but for photo purposes and shows, they really do make a good attention getter. I ride around with either the stock(plain) color or the light blue, which give them a great match to the halogens. They are really more pure white with the light blue filters on then anything else. Yeah, these AREN'T LED based so it is a LOT easier to change the color. You just open your hood, take out the filter that's currently in there and put a new one in. Simple. Here's a direct link:

The supercharger is an ESS as kevln pointed out. It is the 7 psi kit and netted me, so far, 260 uncorrected HP to the rear wheels....and that's with a faulty MAF. I'm going down tomorrow morning to get it redynoed with a good MAF, I"ll post the results.

The ESS is the only mod so far, but I'm waiting for the UUC TSE2 exhaust to ship so I can hear it. If it's as good as everyone is hoping it to be I"ll pick one up for myself to free up the lost HP due to back pressure. I also just bought an intercooler which is going to do wonders for the heat soak.

Xbanx, I have a feeling the cops around here would treat it the same way, but rest assured, if those filters are on, I'll either flick the switch to turn them off if I"m out riding around or just pull out the filters and drive with the normal white angel eye look.
