      Hey man, actually, people say that Testor's model paint works really well for the orange button.

          Very doubtful.

          Thank you for the kind words.

            I had the intake plenum and valve cover refinished:







            The ICV cleaned up nicely



            Installed the reman'd AFM at the same time





            The lettering on the plenum needs work, and the fuel rail looks really bad next to the refinished parts.

              Really like the finish & satin in the color - came out very nice Mark!

                Thank you, Jack! I didn't want an aggressive wrinkle - I am happy with the light texture.

                    Rich,

                    I didn't even think about it homey. Also, with the humidity lately it sucked to be in my garage.

                    I will be swapping in new RSMs soon... I will let you know when.

                      Great shots. I like that you went back to stock weaves since your car is stock. If you go with 16's you should get the RZ/E28 M5/Evo wheels.

                        Very, very nice! Your car continues to be a better & better example of a really cherry bone stock M3. Nice job done with the photos. How many shots did he have to take to get the batch he gave you? Is he an OC guy? Which one you gonna blow up & frame for over the fireplace?

                            Thank you, Jack! You made my day.

                            Josh hails from Rosmead area. Even though he worked until midnight the day before, he was still on time for the 6am shoot.

                            He took 300 pics, liked 40, presented 20 to me (he gave me hi-res versions of the 40). His prices are very reasonable and he is respectful of the car...

                            Thank you, sir. Up close you will see rock chips, dings, etc. I do appreciate the 'flawless' status though.

                              Hey Barry! I missed your post somehow

                              The stock size rims and tires seem to work really well with a nearly stock suspension (imagine that :giggle:)

                              Thanks for the good vibes, mang.

                                Love it Mark! Your car is seriously making me think about going back to stock wheels.
