I love how far you gone with the car and I especially love the new wheel set up.
The lip spoiler always make our rear end look a whole lot better!

Finally decided to put it on, huh?
Looks good. Can't wait to get my back end looking that good as well. How's the trunk holding up as far as the springs go? Is it flinging up dangerously or..what's going on there?

Ah alright, thanks for that info Alex. 23.5” would be the max I think, I’m at around 24.25” front and back now.
Thanks very much guys.
So do I, will do! Been raining/cloudy the past couple days.
Thanks Tommy! Yep, another ½” – ¾” depending.
No, the M3 lips are all cut from one long strip into appropriate lengths for whatever car they’re being sold for on Ebay. The edges are a little raw unless you sand them down, to me they don’t look quite as finished. This one is finished nicely, and very quality. Fitment was perfect too, there was only around 1/16” at either side after I installed it. The M3 lip is also straight, whereas this one has some curve to it.
Good eye haha. That would be the wife and I’s Treks. We just got hers last year, I’ve had mine since 2001. We live right by an awesome bike trail, but don’t use it as much as we should. I’m going to change that this summer though.
Thanks man! There are pics of the wheels on the car a few pages back if you haven’t seen em.
The blue tape is just painters tape, which I used to align the spoiler and designate where to apply the adhesive promoter before final installation. The adhesive goes the whole length of the spoiler.
Yep lol. With your badges and euro tails and what not, your back end will look really great with a wingless trunk and a lip spoiler. No homo.
I should just make you a video of the trunk. It doesn’t swing up violently or anything, I mean it will bounce lightly a couple times, but that’s it. I want to change the trunk spring configuration, just need to figure out how to do it. I know where the adjustment areas are, I just need to see what tools I need. But it’s not hurting anything the way it is now.
I think the springs, when set up for a wing, can work for a winged trunk or wingless trunk. But springs set up for a wingless trunk wouldn’t work for a winged trunk, I don’t think.
Well I started noticing light tapping noises when I was at 24" on bigger bumps or going from an old to newly paved road where there's like an inch of difference of height in the road due to new pavement. But that's going at like +50mph.
Any lower than 23.5" then it'll start smacking/banging on bumps and such.. It's not a pleasant noise, especially if you have friends/family in the car.. They'll be like "wtf was that, did something break ?" Hahaha
Not discouraging you in any way whatsoever, you know I wouldn't, but yeah just letting you know what some consequences you may have to deal with when achieving that low low

It becomes more and more one of my favourite SMR Coupes with each mod.
You've done well with it.
