I think I'm done modding.

So I finally received my CF mirror caps from FeverMoto on eBay and installed them. This was the final touch I think. I installed a front splitter lip, M5 exhaust and rear diffuser and painted my calipers blue this year. I'm happy with the final results and think it's done.

LOL, modding is never done. It is merely paused. Now that the car looks very good, it's time to get performance upgraded

Can you post some more pics of the mirrors? How was the fitment? I'm debating on whether to go with the stick on or hair get them wrapped

Lol! Modding is never done especially if you hang around here. Also, we need some better overall shots to appreciate the work you've done

BMS stage 1 is already installed. Also have CF side markers, CF eyelashes, M5 CF spoiler, tint, upgraded fog lamps, blackout grilles with M colors. Maybe I'm just done for this summer lol.

Nice mods so far man. Modding is almost endless but you can take time and make sure that each additional mod adds value to the vehicle.

This is the link to FeverMoto's item. The fitment is pretty good. I have to do some trimming as the covers lift when I fold the mirrors, so not perfect fitment.

I don't think it will be, the trimming will be done on the underside of the cover so shouldn't be too noticeable. The item itself is good quality, looks great. I think it's worth it for the $ spent.
