LBB X6M - Vossen/Eisenmann/Dinan and few other goodies

Finally had the opportunity to snap a few (unplanned) pictures of the car since a photographer friend was in town for a project we were working on together. We started with the best intentions, got the car wash and went searching for a spot, took maybe 7 min before it started pouring rain after about 6 pictures so photo session got canceled . He sneak some pics from the car in the driveway, completely unplanned as you will see by everything happening around but I think the pics came out great.

Mods:

Dinan Stage 1
Eisenmann Race Exhaust
3D Style front lip
AC Schnitzer lowering springs
Vossen VPS 306 (22x10 front / 22x12 rear) - Smoke Dark / Brushed Finish
Black out Front Grilled, Side vents, side view mirrors and rear diffuser (wanted a carbon diffuser but unfortunately there are no options that will work with the Invisihitch)
Yellow Reflective Calipers

Thank you!! I love the Eisenmann I think it sounds perfect, but it is loud. You will get some minor drone while driving. I disconnected the "active sound" feature and it helped, but I was hoping that it will end up as when the car was in "sport plus" but is significantly louder.

I am really happy with the exhaust but if you want zero droning I would suggest maybe to look at options that have valves. I think this will be the perfect exhaust if it had a valve system for those long cruises.

Thank you! I was so bothered by the different tones of blue between the original calipers and the body of the car :s A bit OCD

Great choice on the Vossens! I think that's a great wheel (and finish).

Any better photos of the wheel? Would love to see.

Great job!

Thank you very much. I love Vossen and their relationship to the community. I don't have very good pics of the wheels as I as waiting since Vossen wanted to shoot the car but its been a while. I can try to get some later. This is what I had on my phone.

They are coming out with some very cool wheels soon

I somehow manage to have all the weights place in the inner section of the wheel so they are not visible!

Thanks. I have to agree with Warehouser. The color looks insane on your car.

I really like the isolated rear wheel shot. The lighting reveals the many aspects of LBB -- teal, green, aqua aspects.

Beautiful car and set up.

Thank you!!

That is correct. LBB is hard to capture on camera as it has so many different tones to it, and that pictures shows it. I think LBB looks best with the sunset light.
