Modded 2006 M45

[HumbertoCALI]

I wanted to start a thread on my ride since its in the shop and going through a bit of a change.

I wanted to make into a widebody but the lines at the rear of the M don't really help to make it look like its part of the Car.

So as of now I am going to make some subtle yet a bit aggressive changes to my 2006 M45.

Here are some picture of here before the transformation

Rear and Side profile:

FRONT:

Here is a short video of the M coming up the block in Downtown Los Angeles:



Here are some shots of the new 2010 front end that I plan on modding. I plan on lowering and moddifing the front bumper and blending in LED DTRL and have chosen a new Graphite Color for the tide... More to come..

Playing around with the rear bumper:

Man Bert, can always count on you for some hot mods, I am sure it is going to look great. The front sport bumper actually looks aftermarket without the fogs.

 

[SiMpLyMoDiFiEd]

i want it all.. LOL

 

[gto]

Wow! That's gonna look great.
AutoX doing the work?

 

[HumbertoCALI]

Yeah.. Auto X will do the work.

Can't wait to see her again and finish off the FX...

Just came back from the shop.

I chose the 2011 Subaru Graphite Pearl color for the M... it has a ton of white and blue pearl to accent the ride.

Here is stock pick of the color on an STi

Not really worthy pics to show off the new color.. Yet she just got here new color yesterday.

What a difference...

 

[fxlr8]

Nice color, bet it looks even better in the sun. What rims do you plan on getting?

 

[HumbertoCALI]

JC will be providing me with some 3 piece wheels.

Dunno the name of them but I will make sure to post some pics of them soon.

Need a little help from the community here.

I have looked on the internet for anyone who does bat overlays for the front headlights.

Does anyone know or have seen pictures of one.

Thanks.

[HumbertoCALI]

Not really looking for that..

Looking more for Sort of Eyelid effect on the M...

I'm still looking.

I think you can go to a talented tint vinyl place and have them custom make one. My tint guy was able to vinyl my tails. and the tails have heck of a lot more contours then headlights. It shouldn't be hard or expensive.

 

[HumbertoCALI]

Thanks guys.

The M should be ready by the end of this week.

I have not been able to pull the trigger on the new wheels yet.

Plan on taking care of the wheel set up when I get back from Chicago.

A new facia with a new custom carbon fiber body kit lip made by hand and color matched to the front bumper.

The front bumper is from an 2010 M45 Sport package..

Plus new modded grill.

All color matched but the only chrome left is the buckle and the outer lines.


Just a teaser... I just love this new color...

 

[fxlr8]

That custom lip is nice, I am sure that is going to make some S owners jelly.

 

[HumbertoCALI]

AE was talking about making a mold for it.

 

[fxlr8]

I would like one, when I swap to a sport bumper.

 

[HumbertoCALI]

I can see if they can get one for you. Maybe a used one and start from there.

Let me know.
