ACM | Ongoing G8x M3/4 Showcase

meko · 05-10-2022, 09:07 AM

I'm really excited to see so many opt for the manual. I just want to say THANK YOU!

I really like the lower trim painted body color. Makes a big difference I think.

Painted lowers completely changes the car! I too am a big fan of it.

All these build look great BTW.

Yeah, such a cool color, but I'm a sucker for anything in any green lol...

The one with close up of the blue is pretty sweet.

You can get lost in Tanzanite when its crispy clean

Dang, that Dakargelb car looks so good.

wesleyan92 · 05-10-2022, 06:43 PM

Jesus Christ! Just inject the Dravit Grey one into my veins.

DimM3 · 05-11-2022, 05:44 AM

Greats pictures!

Love this thread! I have been looking for a pic of the Tuner Motorsports rear spoiler on a G80, I think I will be changing my rear spoiler to this one.

Yeah man! Going to be updating this thread soon with some new shoes for you

Matt@AUTOcouture · 05-23-2022, 02:34 PM

Back at it with the PMB G80. We did a massive set of 20x10.5 and 20x11.5 Forgeline GTD1 wheels in their brushed clear finish and added the RSC Tuning front spoiler.

We also installed an Eventuri intake which looks fantastic paired with his Turner Motorsport CF strut brace and IND painted engine cover.

Evolve paddle shifters fit the interior stlying perfectly

Really like this type of setup. Good work.

20" HRE Classic 305 FMR wheels with Gloss Bronze centers and Brushed Clear lips for ROBERT1183 A beautiful way to pull out the gold flake of the Dravit.

We also mounted up the Racing Sport Concepts front splitter.

Sao Paulo Yellow M4 came straight from the dealer for full PPF as well as a couple of carbon bits, reflector delete from IND, KW HAS kit, and Future Classic spacers.

The PMB is painted, not wrapped. Yes, without blending panels it can be difficult for exact matches with the color and the metallic amount.

The Dravit car is amazing indeed

SPY looks great on the G82!

Matt@AUTOcouture · 06-29-2022, 08:05 AM

Toronto Red G80 got a little Vorsteiner facelift.

Matt@AUTOcouture · 06-29-2022, 11:27 AM

RSC front splitter installed

Matt@AUTOcouture · 07-18-2022, 07:37 AM

Added RSC's preproduction carbon fiber rockers, Unit17 rear bumper corner sides as well as Future Classic spacers.

Nado · 07-18-2022, 10:53 AM

Any rubbing on the AST springs with 15mm spacers up front?

No rubbing at full lock when we clearance the fender liner vent for the cooler.

Looks great. Are you sure this is RSC's GTS diffuser? On your website, the GTS diffuser looks different.

In the above pic, the diffuser slants outward (just like the OEM cf diffuser) if you look closely at exhaust tips 1 and 4. In the link below, all of the fins are strictly vertical with no slants.

Good catch! We did the rear corners, not the diffuser.
