i8 The Death Star

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

I haven't posted on here in a long while & I know many of you aren't fans of wraps or mods & wheels & such lol. But i'll share anyway. I love the car so much more now. People are freaking out everywhere over it even more & it feels like a brand new car.

The wrap is satin black & satin chrome red. Forged Vossen Wheels LC series. Lowered on HR springs.

Also I included a pic of the hood up. THE CAR LOOKS SO DAMN COOL with the hood up & doors & all like a transformer.

That's too much for my taste but one of the coolest i8s I have ever seen on the forum

jcpca356 · 09-02-2016, 09:28 AM

love the last pic!

I love wraps and wheel and mods when it's tastefully done. But everything done is always subjective and opinion based.

Yours looks great minus the wheels.

Foodisfood · 09-02-2016, 10:35 AM

Wow that looks amazing!

Agree completely. The red on black looks cool, even though I wouldn't do it to mine. But gold wheels ... really?

twm6 · 09-02-2016, 09:41 PM

I am loving it!!!!

I am actually in the process of changing color of my i8 also...hows ur huracan treating you? would have been nice if we were closer so we can do a photo shoot of 2x i8 & 2x bulls

Twitch Massacre · 09-02-2016, 10:22 PM

Looks great O! Congrats.

Mightymousemighty · 09-03-2016, 12:50 AM

Thats no moon!!!

Change the wheels mate, the emperor is not as forgiving as I am

Mr.SugarSkulls · 09-03-2016, 02:12 AM

Well I think it looks awesome! Was thinking of doing the reverse- satin chrome red with black accents and gun metal wheels- on mine.

How do you get the front hood up? Owners manual says auth BMW dealer only and I don't want to bother searching for the switch.

Wrap is spectacular. Wheels are horrendous. Evens out I guess.

dnl2ba · 09-04-2016, 01:26 AM

I always thought it would be cool if the synthetic engine noise made TIE fighter noises.

Marshallbrew · 09-04-2016, 01:39 PM

I think she looks great!

Hitz101 · 09-10-2016, 04:05 AM

Thanks everyone! Also the hood comes up easy. That video shows you just be VERY careful as it is a thin flimsy hood & can crack if 2 people don't lift it up.

Also the wheels are gold because it was white before & looked great with the gold. I was going to change them but if you see the car in person the wheels really look good the way it is. The gold under the satin black looks great & the center caps have the red V logo. Everyone says it's like a Cleveland Cavaliers theme & actually one of the player offered to buy it I was told but I don't want to sell yet.

That would look sick but the only thing is the satin red chrome is a very hard material to work with & also pretty expensive as well. But it would look dope. I told my buddy to do his aventador that way but he is not a fan of the lines.

Heck yeah! And the Huracan is amazing still. Slowly getting all the mods installed man that thing is a beast. I love the i8 & all but the huracan is just another level when you sit in it & fire it up for a drive.

JasH · 09-10-2016, 05:36 PM

I like it (apart from the wheels), and I normally hate this type of thing done to an i8

clbmw · 09-26-2016, 03:35 PM

Looks really cool...

... but more Darth Maul than Darth Vader

(Excepting the wheels which look like Christmas doilys)
