So far I've spent about $20k. Going to part out soon for build #4 - for SEMA '18.
Lol that was fast. 22" actually don't look huge on the car.

I hope you never get rear ended though sincerely. That air tank placement seems a bit risky.
There's a good amount of engine in the way before the tank becomes an issue.

It's a removable board actually - not hard to move around.

Yeah but i eat a lot and post my meals on my IG story - so this works better.

Also the builds are a little on the crazy side so "too much" works in multiple ways

On the plus side, certainly looks aggressive
It's just art at this point.

Decided not to go performance this time - i had a track m3 build before this.

Yep - I'm hoping for a chassis mount. We'll see what designer comes up with.

When i got the car I was getting front plate tickets twice a week in Santa Monica - so i decided to get a custom plate and just make it worth it— Which led to the idea of i8_toomuch!
