I don't think the high end detail is going to stay on for a ling time Larry... A clear bra on the other hand, will protect the car from stones and chipping the paint...

My M3 was detailed by "El Chino" about three months ago . It still shines . I am amazed at how well this lasts.

The clear bra is a different approach . It will protect the stone chip but that is fusing show and go .

I isolated "show" from "go" --the aesthetics of the bare and shiny car is in my opinion can not be attained with wrap on the paint.

Thanks for the input. A few I have done are:

- Clear bra
- Clear side markers
- Spacers (7mm front; 15mm rear)
- Tinted windows

I like the idea of the SSK and was surprised not to see aluminum pedals on lists.

Gonna hijack my own post here...............
Speaking of pedals, any recommendations out there? Porsche, Sharkwerks, TechArt.....? I've read a few posts that say you actually have to drill new holes to install. Is this true for all?

Noted that the X51 header for $600+ was not mentioned here, I would have thought that would be on someone's list as well.

Best $55 ive spent is the Hoen dLED license plate modules, makes the car look worthy of the badge from the rear
Failing that its way over $1000 for stuff I can recommend!

Sorry to jack the thread here but I got hoen fogs and C5w incandescents. Do those dLed's work well without generating any fuse out etc? Also, have you replaced the park fronts vs just the fogs. I love Hoens.... Let me know. Thanks....
