Yours looks kickass! I just won't commit to dimming the headlights with tint. Shooting for the best of both worlds.

Headlights don't dim as much as you'd think with the tint on. You can also code them to go brighter. Not sure if it was this way from the factory but my daytime lights were at 50%. I bumped them to 75%.

I still get the angry flashes from cars coming the other way.

Is your bumper wrapped or was it factory matte black?

Nice. We should link up and do a joint photoshoot, video somewhere. Serious.

satin looks sweet! I was thinking about wrapping my whole car like that

added CF console trim and knob 😎

jab23 · 06-18-2022, 07:49 AM

The CF carbon fiber trim makes such a difference. One of my favorite things I've done to mine and so easy. I want to do the shifter too, but I'm too cheap!

9vapors · 06-18-2022, 09:06 AM

I envy you folks that have the carbon interior…

thanks guys. One of my buddies is parting out his f85 so i got these items at a great price also the Acexxon rear bumper inserts. I'm usually really cheap as well. 😀

I'll pull her out to ash for more pics 😎

9vapors · 06-18-2022, 01:39 PM

I paid full price for a set of those rear reflector replacements and am happy with them. Good add!

You know, I think I am mentally challenged or something (looks at secondhand F85, well more than the average). I honestly cannot stand the look of it.

Naked carbon on something like a Koenigsegg or Pagani, sure looks great. But on the interior or exhaust tips.

Same here... have tolerated it on my M4, very happy with black trim on my F85.
One reason I bought my black sapphire edition X5M.

9vapors · 06-19-2022, 10:51 AM

I guess I'd just like anything than the silver bumpy mesh stuff I have

daytonaviolet · 06-19-2022, 02:28 PM

Some skirts and upper bumper splitters.

Happy Father's Day 🤴

9vapors · 06-19-2022, 02:44 PM

Awesome, I want to get the forged carbon ones

The CF trim definitely makes a big difference in terms of the interior ambiance. Daytonaviolet, gotta step it up to the CF steering wheel

Lol.. This place is making spend money again. That may be my next mod or wheels.

Had my car stock since 2018 and except the KW's. Recently thought about selling her since I don't drive her much (21k miles). Then I thought .. let's just mod her more and then see how I feel about her then.

This is how she looks today 🤪

Bobby_Drake · 06-23-2022, 01:50 PM

Lookin proper. Definitely keep your F85. I was tempted to sell it as well, but everytime I get into my F85, it puts a smile on my face
