    Paint and Body S550 Carbon fiber doors install “So-Cal”

    Any reputable body shop should be able to install them. Where'd you get them and for how much?

    Would You Let The Dealer..........

    Guess you won't be getting one. There's only one color combo for the Leguna Seca, that wonderful black and red! :nice: <-seriously, I like it. On topic, heeeeck NO, I wouldn't let the dealership drive my car. I know you already have yours, OP. This is reply is for others who might be...

    Watch out Europe... here comes the new 5.0 (M3 vs 5.0)

    The point I was trying to make with the 550i Sport was with regards to comfort, fit & finish, and quality of materials, not the performance aspect. Maybe that came off wrong. Another point I was trying to make in bringing the 5-series in was that it has better goods inside than a 3-series (M3...

    Watch out Europe... here comes the new 5.0 (M3 vs 5.0)

    I'm amazed at the praises being given to 3-series BMWs (M3 included) with regards to comfort and refinement. I've had enough seat time in them to beg to differ; especially when it comes to the 335i Sport! The thing is noisy as heck at highway speeds. And I'm one of the fortunate ones to own a...

    any 2011 5.0 want to run my viper (hawaii)

    KILLEMALL, how can there be "no honor" in racing a GT500 that has more comparable power and performance yet there is "honor" in racing a car that is clearly outmatched by yours? Where is the logic in that one?

    2012 BOSS 302 - It's Here!

    In racing, it's not about who's in the power band longer but who gets to the power band quicker. To offset the shorter gearing, the engines are tuned/designed to rev out farther.

    GT500 Spoiler & "Gurney flap"

    The flap's not painted. It's just a strip of plastic, and the Gurney one only comes on w/ the SVT Package. The standard GT500 just has the flat strip.

    Shaker 1000 and Navigation system

    I'll take integrated nav over cell phone or Garmin/Magellan any day. Not only do you get a bigger screen, but you also don't have to worry about your battery dying on you. Cell phone nav apps use a buttload of battery life. If you're on a road trip and don't have a car charger, you'll have a...

    2011 Ford Mustang GT vs 2011 BMW M3 Coupe

    Why do people always say cars like these wouldn't be cross-shopped?? When I was prepping to buy a new car, both the M3 and the Mustang GT were on my list. When it was announced that the 5.0 would be returning for the '11 model year, that pretty much sealed the deal for me! In the end, I wound...

    2012 BOSS 302 - It's Here!

    So you are the sole determining factor of aesthetics and pricing for your local dealer? Wow! How does it feel to have that much power and authority?? :rlaugh:

    Eibach Pro Kit

    It's an easy job to do in your driveway. I've done it 3 times, myself. (And will probably make it 4 times when I get a twent-eleven GT, unless I opt for the FR3 suspension when I order it.) Just go to Autozone or someplace like that and rent a set of spring compressors for ~$30 and you're...

    '11 GT Color?

    Race Red looks to be more toward the orange color than Torch Red.

    GT500 steering wheel be fitted to GTs?

    What thumb detents? I don't see any. Nevermind. It's this steering wheel, which I like even better. Sorry for the size.

    GT500 steering wheel be fitted to GTs?

    That's tempting. It would go nice with my Redline Goods 4-panel shift boot with the red stitching, but $425 is kinda steep. And I do like the aluminum on mine. Now, if I could get one like that with the aluminum trim as well...

    installed Headlight "angle Eyes" pics inside

    Wiring? Was there any additional wiring needed to get the halos to come on with the parking lights?
