Montreal Blue e39 progress to stance...

[Stupid Kid]

I dunno it just looks cheap to me.

Maybe I like looking at my interior and having the satisfaction that a tree died to make it look nice

Update!!!!

Got my car back from the shop a couple days ago so that means some more progress! Got a new trunk put on, the old one had holes from my old wing and was getting rusty. Also had a new bumper painted since I messed mine up this past winter, I put it on myself though. Also had the windows tinted with 30% tint, really like the final result of it! Work was done by Moonlite Motorwerks in Gilbertsville/Boyertown, PA, they did a great job and I've been using them for a over a year now.

Then after I got it back I did some work to it as well. Put a new OEM aux fan in since my old one didn't work anymore, new black kidney grills since the clips were broken on my old ones, then put the splitters on the new bumper. One interesting thing about the new bumper is that it seems to be ABS plastic and not Polyproylene like my old one. Both bumpers were purchased from DDM tuning, and I must say the new bumper does fit better than the old one.

Ended up giving it a good wash today and stopped to take some pics when I was on my way to play some golf:

Where did you get the splitters?

[e39hamann]

Got the splitters from Narvin, and updated interior shot, wrapped the wood in gloss black vinyl

Picked up some OZ mitos yesterday, they need some work but they're gonna look awesome when I'm done with them. They'll be going on next spring sometime.

Installed some Broadway Static coils yesterday! 12k front and 10k rear springs. Really liking them so far, thanks to Jaze for the awesome coils!




What the rear fitment will look like once I get a chance to go back to the shop and make some adjustments

haha yea I'm excited! I wonder if people will still think I have the reps even when I put the real ones on haha

And the ride is nice, stiff but I actually have shock travel unlike before with the Bilsteins

Some updated shots from the past couple weeks:
