Default A few mods for the M2

The Callaway has taken a bit of a back seat as I daily the M2. As with all my vehicles, the mod bug hits early & often.

Added some MPerformance pieces to the interior (cf door sills, Alcantara center console, and Alcantara "knee pads").

Have a custom carbon fiber & Alcantara steering wheel but it arrived with incorrect stitching. I'm waiting for a resolution from the vendor.

13/15 mm wheel spacers to bring the wheels out flush until I replace them with a set of forged wheels with the correct offsets.

Replaced front/rear and center caps with 50th anniversary emblems.

Replaced front/rear silver M2 emblems with gloss black.

Installed protective screens for the front radiator/coolers & oil cooler underneath.

New front grilles.




Alcantara knee pads compared to oem plastic

So easy to remove compared to the Vette





Protect those exposed radiators/coolers up front


50th anniversary emblems

Replace silver emblems with black

Gonna need you to stop posting that car cuz it makes me want to sell the Vette for one, lol.

Looks great, still feeling like the auto was the move?

True story. $600 for another 100-125 hp. Even stock they're very quick & consistently putting down ~470 whp. Makes a great DD.

Because it's my DD, the auto was the better choice. It's a fantastic auto. Using the paddles with auto rev match is fun & it shifts so smoothly.

I'm waiting for some gloss black aero to become available. Everything currently available is carbon fiber, and I don't have any exterior cf & don't want to swap out all the black pieces. I've got a set of forged wheels picked out, just have to figure out how to justify to the wife

Agree. When I had the fascia off yesterday I still found debris stuck in front of those coolers, including a metal ring about the size of a half dollar. Seems stuff can still get in that angled opening to the inside of both outer openings.

One owner had a rock take out one cooler ($1,600 plus labor) & another had something pierce the oil cooler underneath which blew the engine and totaled the vehicle ($48k in damage). $400 and change for screens well worth it for me.

It moves for sure. I've got a Dragy & need to find some open road one of these days.

I'd love to see how it compares to my ev6 GT. Edmunds U Drags compared them a while back.

Thanks! With 2 Ms in the garage, it's going to be tough looking at anything else when/if we want something new. They really are great vehicles.
