Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

Cheap brake calipers look cheap. I got to drive a "normal" 2011 M3 w/ a Dinan exhaust, tech, premium, and competition packages. It was a hoot to drive and plenty enough for me.
I think this car is built for the BMW collector, not the BMW driver.

There's one on display in the Frankfurt airport. It looks great but I think I'd rather buy an M3 with a normal finish and do a matte vinyl wrap. Probably cheaper that way too. :lol:

I wanted to wrap the WRX in OD green but the only shop I could find wanted $3000 and the car had to be in NYC for 4 days. :(

I still wonder how well vinyl holds up to weather/bugs/rocks... I'd hate to pay 3k and have it only last 10k or something.

I saw Ovechkin's SL65 at Cars and Coffee and it was wrapped. It needed to be re-wrapped...lots of rock chips, etc.

It depends on your driving conditions but I've heard that it lasts about 2 years before you need to get it removed or redo the front.

In theory the flat black car rocks!
In practice, not so much.
I had a buddy who did a flat black job on his Eclipse.
It was beautiful, for about 6 months, and after about a year it didn't look that great.
By the time he sold it, he wished he hadn't done it.
