I'd love to... but no can do. That kit is $2500+400 shipped from Germany. That's pre-prep and paint, which would easily take that project over the $4k range. Not to mention trying to repair a damaged fiberglass widebody from Germany doesn't sound fun when it gets beat on.
That money would be much better spent on POWAAAAR!!1
BUT... I still like the kit. Maybe one day...

I guess since I sorta let the cat out of the bad... here's a li'l peek. I didn't get the Hamann kit - cause that's mad $$$. I've got the ViS lip kit on the way. It looks exactly the same, without the li'l lip spoilers on the front. Hopefully it gets here in time for paint.
I really love the oem styling on the coupe... and always had a thing for this kit. I think it definitely accents the cars look, instead of drastically transforming it. Kinda subtle like the CSL trunk.
And gawt damn I love those wheels.

The kit is hot but OMG that paint is terrible. Andy, just buy a used M3 GTR. I'm sure you can pick one up cheap since you can't race them anywhere.
