A built/solid look, but respect the BMW styling. Don't change the lines much.

Body Kit Designs
I like your designs, especially the enigma II. But personally, I really dont like the bottom of the bumper (of the BMW bodykit) to stick out far. This was more pronounced in the first pictures, and I noticed that you changed it in the later pictures so it sticks out less. I would go even further and make it just slightly protruding if almost flush with the rest of the bumper.
Keep up the good work, your quite an artist.

Re: Ultimate BMW M3 Body-kit.
Thanks dude
Project Update: I'm going to be doing the E36 instead of the E46. After reviewing the market, that looks like my best option. I may come back and do the E46 later though.
The front bumper will be replaced fairly soon. The reason it is like that is mostly due to bad advice from the client I was initially with.

Re: Ultimate BMW M3 Body-kit.
Some quick notes... (sorry if I am repeating anything)- I changed my mind about which BMW I'll be doing first. It appears that the E36 is a bigger market, so that is where I'll be starting first. If the E36 kits sell well, I'll also do the kit for the E46, and after that I may start the BMW M5.
- The front Bumper has been remade. Any feedback would be great, but I’m currently thinking the front bumper is too simple. Also, I’d like some feedback on that horizontal ‘divider’ in intake on the bumper in the middle.
- I shrunk the sideskirt slightly. I may make it larger again.
- I’m fairly certain I do have an investor, and I’m very certain that I will be making this kit.
Update…

Re: Ultimate BMW M3 Body-kit.
Well, since everything is starting to fall into place everywhere, I’m motivated again to get back to work. Here’s the start of the rear.
If anyone would like to be added to my Newsletter, send an email to phantomcars@hotmail.com saying you’d like to be added….or PM me with your email address. I keep your info confidential of course. If you don’t know what the newsletter is for, check out my design work at www.GryphonAuto.com
I try to keep everyone updated but loose track of so many people. You’ll receive updated only occasionally, but when I have a cool new release like anew car design or a video…or whenever the BMW kit is built (crosses fingers).

Re: Ultimate BMW M3 Body-kit.
Hey, what’s up?
Sorry about neglecting this project. I don’t know if or when I’ll be able to get back to it. I’m a little too ambitious for my own good, so sometimes I often start more projects than I have the time to complete.
If or when I update it, any updates should appear at this link.
http://www.gryphonauto.com/vehicles/BMW%20M3/index.htm
M3modmaster – Send me an email ( http://www.gryphonauto.com/contact/index.htm) if you’re interested in actually making a body kit for the BMW M3. I’d be willing to finish up the kit design if a body-kit company offered me a reasonable deal.

The best body kit for an M3 would be a CSL body kit. A lot of other body kits for the M3 are rice.

Looking at post dates, I think it was you that dug up an old thread.
P.S. Just a little update for those who are interested, I recently found a great job & am saving up my own money so I can pay for the production of anything I want without having to depend on unreliable kit companies.

Re: Ultimate BMW M3 Body-kit.
Actually I didnt.  There was a post right before mine, that dated 06-13-2006. I guess the member deleted it. Plus, it would not have been at the very top of the very first page in bold...which signifies a new post has been added.
I'm not an idiot, I know how the system works.
PS: You should probably link to some new working links, I would have liked to see the first stages of this project...looks and seems pretty cool.
