I can see in your first picture that your left rear tire is on backwards, the chevron shapes on each side of the Yokohama logo are supposed to be pointing in the direction the tire rotates | | | 11-05-2011, 07:43 PM | #4 | Junior Member Join Date: Jul 2011 Location: N/A Posts: 8 | _______________ Last edited by DRYROON; 08-28-2012 at 02:25 AM. | | | 11-05-2011, 08:16 PM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 | no problem, I work as a mechanic so I'm used to picking up on stuff like that I can't really say much about the ECS kit since I don't have it, the pictures all show the regular M3 bumper but the rear bumper for the ti is different, I'd send them an email asking them to confirm if the rear bumper is the correct one for a ti or not, no point in having it shipped from another continent just to find out it's not going to work. | | | 11-07-2011, 01:46 AM | #6 | Junior Member Join Date: Oct 2011 Location: argentina Posts: 8 | thanks alot man, those pictures really helped me make my mind on that subject. i think i'll be doing that next month. | | | 11-10-2011, 01:32 PM | #7 | Junior Member Join Date: Jul 2011 Location: N/A Posts: 8 | _______________ Last edited by DRYROON; 08-28-2012 at 02:26 AM. | | | 11-11-2011, 05:28 AM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 | mine came with the bumper I bought from ddmtuning.com, looks like they sell it separately though http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/E3...ont-Bumper-Lip I think you'll probably need to drill holes to put it on unless your bumper comes with the holes pre-drilled | | | 11-11-2011, 04:12 PM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2010 Location: Potomac Falls VA DMV Posts: 1,794 | You need to drill holes.
