    Steve my brother!! I've thought about that, but so many people seem to do that or shave them so I'm keeping them.

    It has been a while since I've updated this thread, no real major updates on the car, but enjoy the pictures any way…

    Even during a hurricane I had to try and sneak in a clean while the rained seized

    Shortly after the wash someone snapped this picture of me while I grabbed some breakfast

    Made it back without issue and then it was time for a full detail

    A little bead action…

    After the detail I was a little impressed with the reflection I was able to get out of Tiag silver so I snapped a quick picture. If there's one thing I **** about having a silver car is the lack of dept and shine you're able to capture in pictures no matter how clean the car actually is.

    After detailing the ///M I had of course had to give the wife's car a wash and wax

    I was able to convince my buddy to bring his E92 M3 to a show, which he isn't really into

    Parked away from everything and everyone else at work

    Damn near 55 degrees on Christmas Eve why not hand wash ol' girl

    Christmas came in a little late, but it was worth the wait. Full stepped Supersprint Headers and straight pipe section 1

    For more premium look, you know.

    Further more it really is a great looking car
    One of my friends suggested that, but I couldn't bring myself to do it lol. I appreciate the love

    Thanks I wanted to stay away from chrome or polished, I drive this a few days a week and chrome or polish is too much to maintain as well as I don't like chrome or polished bits on sports cars.

    Finally after having the parts sitting around for a month or so, I had a full day off to replace the lower control arms and bushings.

    Trying to get the car in the air is always a struggle lol…

    Fresh OEM arms and bushings ready to go in
    IMG_1859

    Removed the subframe cover and it clearly has been taking some abuse
    IMG_1861

    Next to come off was the stiffening plate
    IMG_1863

    Removing the arms and bushings was pretty straight forward other than and fairly easy. Other than the inner ball joint which is a pain to access being that it bolted to the subframe, it was no problem.
    IMG_1864
    IMG_1866

    I couldn't allow myself to reinstall the stiffening plate full of road gunk, I took some degreaser and brillo pad to it. I'm pretty anal therefore, I do my best to keep every single part of this car clean and maintain everything working properly.
    IMG_1867

    After reinstalling the everything took the car out for a little rip and the minor shimmy at 80 mph was gone. Car feels nice and tight, love the handling aspect of these cars.

    The following weekend I submitted and inquiry to park in the VIP section of Clean Culture's event in NY. They declined my submission, I didn't think it was a big deal didn't expect to get in any way. To my surprise when I got there they asked me if I wouldn't mind parking inside with other VIP cars. I accepted and parked aside of some incredible BUILDS.

    Still working on getting that fitment just right…

    For a while now I've been wanting amber color corners, side markers, and taillights, but I can't bring myself to pay the amount of money these vendors are charging. So I decided I was going to look for an alternative. I've seen some great results with tinting so I figured I try it out. For only $7 I thought to myself what do I have to lose.
    IMG_1904

    After doing one of the corner lights, I was disgusted with the results
    IMG_1905

    After that failed experiment, I again couldn't put the taillights back in with all the built up grime. A little elbow grease goes a long way, I'm obsessed.

    After putting nearly about 500 miles on the this old broad in a day I figured she was due for a good maintenance wash. Gave her a good cleaning and clay barred the whole car. Not too bad she's do a full detail, probably before and after H20i.

    Since I've bought this car I could never understand why BMW would put chrome gills and a chrome grill on this car. I personally don't like chrome or polished accents on sports cars. Some argue it gives it a premium look, I personally feel it doesn't go with the rest of the car especially since the window trim is blacked out. I finally got around to ordering some along with another simple to tasteful interior goodie.

    Genuine BMW performance alacantara and brushed aluminum E brake handle to match the already installed shifter and boot.

    Removed the E brake boot, not surprised to find more crud…
    IMG_1979
    IMG_1980

    Nice and clean

    IMG_1985

    For some reason the picture makes the shifter boot look faded compared to the E brake boot, but in reality they're a perfect match.
