    Looks really good, one of the cleaner slammed E90s. I think the exhaust tips would look cool copper plated.

    Mine is getting bagged in 2 weeks. What are the specs on the wheels?

    Grtz

    Thanks man! Let me know when you have some pics I'd love to see them.

    Um they are 19x9f ET24 19x10r ET24. The final offsets I'm running after spacers are ET19 front and ET4 rear.

    Played with my car today. Took some pics. Nothing to crazy just felt like my car wanted to be played with. Lol.

    I refinished all of my wheels and got that nice shine back they had the first time I finished them.

    I must have hit like a Pterodactyl or something on my grill because it ripped a hole right in the plasti dip on my front lower grills and left a juicy red mess behind.* So I popped out my lower grills and re plasti-dipped them.





    I was also getting sick of the silver trim piece that runs from fog light to fog light. It was the only remaining bit of silver left on the exterior. Silver, black, and copper no matchy.

    So I figured I would try something a little different. I really like that piece of trim and it would be ashamed to just black it out and make it vanish. So first I plasti dipped the pieces, then shot them with some copper. That way if and when I get sick of it I can go right back to the silver.

    Also coppered the silver screws for front plate for shits and giggles.



    License plate frame up front was rock chipped to hell. Plasti dip it.



    I kind of love plasti dip. It is an awesome in a can.









    The side marker blinkers were an incredibly distracting eye sore. Didn't really want to tint them of buy new ones so I figure I'd just try blacking them out. No more cloudy looking plastic blinkers. And you can still see the light through the paint. I might get smoked ones or something at some point but this works for the time being.







    Because booty.



    And a couple pics from the drive in last Thursday.





    Sunday's are awesome.

    wide 18's was my original plan, but when my friend told me what he would sell me the HRE's for I couldn't pass it up so the 18's will have to wait. I do think I might try my had at tackling the wrap job by the end of the summer. Can't wait to what you have in store for the e90.

My buddy is parting out his m3 and he has a set of HRE's that I am hopefully picking up off him for a good deal. Then they will get relipped and powdercoated to match my carolina blue tow hooks
    Nice man. I need to upgrade to some big boy wheels when my finances allow. Can't wait to step down to some nice wide 18s.

    what kind of adhesive did you use for this? I used the 3m spray adhesive from joann fabric on previous projects but I am looking for something a lil stronger.
    Thanks it's mine too. I really wanted a black with saddle brown/terra interior buy couldn't find one close enough that fit my criteria. Now I have it... Kind of lol.

    I used the strongest 3M stuff I could find for the headliner, I believe it was 3M 90. And for the trim I used 3M 77. I have a couple friends that used the 90 and it's held up well so far. I'm hoping mine does as well.

    You should post it over on E90post, and see the horrible reactions you get haha. "OMG YOUR TIRES ARE GOING TO POP OFF AND YOUR CAR HANDLES LIKE SHIT NOW!!!"
    Thanks man appreciate it! Go low, there needs to be more E90/E92 folks on our side of the fence.
