I just dropped off my car for a respray of the factory Calypsorot color. Includes the front fenders, hood, side skirts, front bumper and mirrors from the blue 1998 M3 mentioned above. It also includes an M-Tech rear bumper that I picked up from a nearby Pick-n-Pull. I repaired all dings and other damage, and block-sanded it to the best of my abilities. All side windows were also removed prior to dropping it off for final smoothing and prep. Should have it back in 3-4 weeks if all goes as planned. I can't wait to have the aesthetics match the performance of the car!
