So Im still trying to figure out where to start the build thread since I really started building the car a couple of years ago. may just be a bunch of photos and then any progress I make will be added as I do it. Car started as a stock 2003 R53 that was bone stock minus some aftermarket wheels when I bought it. The day I picked it up I ordered a DDM Works intake for it and the week after I had my MagnaFlow exhaust ordered......then everything spiraled out of control...... More to Follow Soon Decided to update the first post with a current mod list.

factory lips/barrels but with custom 5x112 faces. they were originally made for and ordered by race driver bruce canepa. they even have his signature and what race they were used for inscribed into the barrels
because of running the harnesses, and the fact a rat chewed through my driver side factory seat belt, im choosing to do so custom seat belt pillars to remove the seatbelt openings. I will post progress pics as I work on the project
Man - that looks clean. You have it on the ground. Can't wait to see more pics as you move forward.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
talking with a buddy last night we may be trying to make some vented fenders. I've seen them on a few cars but haven't been able to find any through searching that are still being made. possibly thinking of making them in carbon fiber and painting part of them but undecided
100% agree. Personally I appreciate the work in making it "yours".. clearly you spent lots of time on it and there are some nice custom touches.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Here is a picture of the starting point for my seatbelt deletes. Plan is to fill in the holes from the seal belts and then smooth everything out in order to cover them in black suede
Yup - always that way. That is what makes these types of builds great.. can't buy the parts. One off - and that takes time and makes it yours!
