I had to look at Erebuni kit style 92 one more time. Sorry bud but it is atrocious!

It's novelty, and novelty wears off fast. If you really want vectored space mobile chic please buy a Japanese throw away car.

I honestly believe this will absolutely ruin the resale value of a fine car. Most people looking for an M6 will run from this design laughing. YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO SELL IT!

Furthermore, all of this add on stuff is fiberglass, making the final finish look terrible!

The $6000 cost of the kit is ONLY the beginning, there will be installation AND painting. All of that will stack the price well in excess of $10,000!!!!!

Consider this though: take that same amount of money and have a Metric Mechanic 3.9L stroker motor installed. You will be sitting behind 350HP!!!!! Yeah Baby. Now you you've got high performance with class!

The value will increase, AND the car will be much more DESIRABLE!!!!

A caveat: if you decide to go ahead with the Erebuni, be prepared to be laughed at by other Bimmer owners. IMHO.

Sorry to bust your balls on this one. I sincerely hope you reconsider.
