Justin's G87
Finally arrived. Much better pictures and details later. The side stripe will probably generate discussion lol.

Congrats! Is the stripe and rear spoiler BMW installed? I didn't know those were options.
What other options do you have here? other than those two I listed, it looks very similar to my HEA model. |

No I had it all done with my ppf guy. The stripe is from BMW and it came with a hood stripe as well. PPF guy thinks it needs the hood stripe, I don't. But, I'm going to lay it out and see if I like it. I really like the stipe, reminds my of my past MOPAR life (hence username). Specs of car in sig. Spoiler and mirror caps are supplied by RW Carbon, they're very high quality but much more affordable than BMW. Into the mirror caps I put these smoke sequential turn signals. I dig em! Now I'm going out to install radar detector and dash cam!

Dash cam and radar done! I only suctioned the radar until I decide on final location. I have a more "permanent" mount.
Dash cam is the Viofo A139 Pro. Last thing to install are the yellow DRLs! Not sure if I'm going to do them tonight. I embark on a 3 day road trip tomorrow to knock out my break in miles, may do it after that. I'm glad PA is big enough to basically drive all around it and kill it LOL. Also some pics of the IND reflector deletes.

Just a few more pics trying to show some items. Sun was super bright. Will get more pics on my drive, but car is already covered in bugs and shit.
Plus, this is a mix of Pixel 7 phone camera pics and quick snaps with a Fuji XT-5 set on Provia Standard, no adjustments. Just wanted to see how the different cameras render the color.

Loving this build! Are you planning on getting tints? I see you blacked out a few things already, how about the M2 black badge?
Tints and wheel spacers will probably be my first mods so I'll definitely be following your build. Don't worry, I won't copy but just envy it. I'm also hesitant to even consider the reflectors and yellow DRL, as I like the way the stock ones look. |

100% love the MOPAR look, I'm also planning on adding the beltline decal and skipping the hood one. But I'll also add the sideskirt decal.

Exactly. And I just wanted a small touch to break up the sea of blue, hence not the rocker one as well. Plus, I don't like how it says "M performance."
