I like the dedication but I don't know, I feel that if this was truly a "go fast poor man's build from the late 80's" there would be a lot more go-fast bits and ingenuity in here. Maybe it's coming though.
Thusly, I shall stay tuned.
go fast bits eh? like turbos? superchargers? Thought I was clear in the description about not being able to afford an M5 in 1988, so this is what a "poor" man would do to be comparable... Its not a 1980s car build to todays standards...
More ingenuity? Fantastic suspension, m5 parts, grey market motors, etc isn't good enough for the stance works crew.... I'm fine with that.
Its a build. Therefore there is obviously more coming. Thanks for staying tuned. Yet, I'm hurt on the inside.

Well i finally got started on the reps/ghetto redo. I bought the keskins super cheap with full intentions of painting them to loose the bling.
1: they are reps.
2: even so, they are too flashy for my motor/suspension build. (for me.
Removed the fake bolts and got to work.
Resulting in:
Then a days dry time, remask, tackle the centers, and install better fake bolts (for safety)
Resulting in:
They look nice and terrible, like the rest of the car. Itll do for a year, while the other wheels are being "sourced"
Ordered some new center cap decals to spice it up even more rep...
Hopefully this weekend ill get the other three done since Im satisfied with the outcome. Spacers should be in as well to dial in the fitment.
Then adjust the ride height about 3/4" if my maths were correct.
