Well thank you, having 9.5's all around also makes pulling them off a little easier, I just need more lip out back so I can ditch these massive spacers

i love it! good inspiration for my e28 build

thanks man!

hahaha thank you sir! You should paint yours, it was actually extremely affordable when it was all said and done. I honestly love the shift boot, a friend of mine does interiors and he had a customer come in to get an e30 m3 redone in that fabric and I was fortunate enough to get a shift boot out of the scraps.

Thanks man!

Sooooo, today I finally ditched the Hawk racing pads this car came with, honestly amazing pads just wayyyyy to noisy for a daily IMO, also cleaned out my sunroof drains again, hopefully the watery floor problem is gone for good now... Super glued up my saggy weather stripping and threw on some new wiper blades. Since none of this is picture worthy here's something else you'll all enjoy!!!



Excuse the shitty quality, believe it or not filming in the dark doesn't work out so well

Props for painting yourself man! Looks good. If you wet sand it, then buff it back, you'll be able to get a much deeper shine.

You can start with 1200 to identify the high-spots, the move up to 1500 to get the surface totally flat. Kind of laborious, but definitely worth it

Thank you sir! I'll definitely be wet sanding and buffing it only reason I haven't yet is because my friend took a chip out of my door and I'm going to repay that section before I wet sand so I can blend it in but its too cold already up here so ill have to wait until spring Also those last two pictures the car is soaking wet so the paint looks a little matte, in the other pictures it looks pretty glossy but wet sanding and buffing will definitely make it muuuch better.

Bought a 50mm today. Got a little time to play with it before it got to dark (more/better pics in the near future)!!
