Lacster's F10 just got a facelift

LACSTER · 05-28-2011, 09:52 AM

Here's some pictures of the new front end with my 3D Design lip molded on to the bumper.

I also shaved the reflector as well for a cleaner look. Hope you enjoy

FYI... I raised the car up a bit as well now because we got rid of the MDX and purchased a 335i cabrio for the wife so the F10 is now the family van

Here's the wife's new car as well...

The end....

Wow Kevin. Your car is super clean and unique now.

The stance is actually better now with the raise. I think the previous drop is just a bit low.

Congrats for your wife for the 335 vert. It is super hot too. Love the BBS with the Mtech.

Hot Hot Hot!

LACSTER · 05-28-2011, 10:27 AM

Thanks RC3! I agree with you as well the stance prior was a bit to low for my taste too but I was lazy to get it raised.

Now with the 21's on I got it raised and aligned to finish of he ride.

You mean shaded your reflector?

How did you do that? Paint? Tape?

andreastrones · 05-28-2011, 11:03 AM

You're car looks perfect! So clean, but still so bad! What happends with the rear reflectors?

Hey Touring, When I molded on the lip I had them fill in the reflectors as well so they're completely gone.

Clean nucca!

luigimaster24 · 05-28-2011, 12:44 PM

Looks superb at that height Kev!! I bet the ride's a bit smoother.

They did a great job on the facelift. You mind recommending your plastic surgeon??

78mao · 05-28-2011, 01:48 PM

sick!!!!! wow! amazing! love ur wifes ride as well!

jaekeem · 05-28-2011, 02:06 PM

Hey Kev, great idea about molding the lip to the bumper! We definitely need to meet up asap so I can check your car out. The more I look at your guy's posts I'm thinking about just hiring someone to unpack everything so I can go to the HRE open house with you guys!

Keep up the good work!

jaekeem · 05-28-2011, 02:07 PM

Maybe I need to join the club and have my reflectors shaved as well

Thanks Jason! Shaving the reflector does look great but I wouldn't recommend it unless you have to repaint your how bumper.

I'm kind of iffy about the HRE meet now. Something came up and I might not be able to attend anymore. I'll keep you guys posted.

You're so right about shaving the reflectors... It's an awesome look, but it's definitely not worth the money unless you have to repaint the bumper anyway. I only ended up doing mine because I switched to the M Sport bumper.

I remember you saying you were considering molding the lip when we spoke at Bimmerfest. When you get an idea you pull the trigger right away! I really like how it turned out.

Jacky328 · 05-29-2011, 08:05 AM

looking so good, like it

How you mold it on bumper, by drill?

remmib · 05-29-2011, 02:46 PM

The molded front looks awesome.

The ride height looks a bit higher than I'd go with, but that might be due to the low camera angle.

Very Cool!!
