As some of you guys know Michael Correa and I have traded cars. Two months ago I saw a post on 6speedonline.com that Michael was interesting in selling his Porsche to get back into a M3. At the time my car was at DTM Autobody waiting for two rear quarter panels to arrive from Germany so that I could covert the yellow widebody m3 renderings posted on this forums a few years ago into reality. I have seen many of the widebody kits for the E46 as well as the custom widebodies done and I was not very impressed. I always belive that you have to keep the lines of the car clean, and Mike and I made sure the car would look like a factory widebody that BMW would actually offer. We decided to design the widebody after the BMW E30 and Esquiss E36 M3 Widebodies.
Heres the original rendering
Because of time constraints to complete the Porsche Turbo for SEMA I ended up flying to Maryland and driving the car back 3000 miles to start my Porsche Project. Mike was very patient waiting for daily and weekly updates regarding on his M3, and I appreciate his patience dealing with my concerns on the car. I am a perfectionist and we changed around some details of the car a few times delaying the original release date, but in the end the car came out perfect.

So now after 2 months our collaboration project is finally complete. DTM Autobody did an amazing job. I have snapped a few quick pictures for the public to see. Not even Mike has seen these pictures yet, so you guys are getting the first scoop and unveiling of his new car. We have a professional photo shoot planned next week and then the car will be on trailer to Maryland.
