  • Kicking off my summer season (a bit late i know)

    So I gave the e36 a "beginning of the summer" detail to kick off the season (summer just started for me; school just ended last week). Full detail this time - 2 step polish (Meguiars M205/White pad and Meguiard D151/Red pad), 2 coats of Chemical Guys sealant, and 2 coats of my blitz butter show wax.

    On my way to watch game 7 of the NBA finals (Go Lakers!! w00t!), I remembered this road in the Laguna Niguel Regional Park, so I pulled off for an impromptu shoot. Did my best with the SLR I had, no tripod, but I think they came out okay. No post processing, just straight form the camera

    First shoot with my new rear tires (Falken 912 215/35/18), and I love them! Great stretch for the size; I'm doing the best I can with these 18x8 LM reps; I really like set, they just aren't what wide. New wheels to come later on. Plans are lower springs for my GC coils and spacers all around, so expect some change soon! Funds have been temporarily diverted to overhauling my cooling system and reworking my detailing product arsenal, so bear with me.

    Constructive criticism is always welcome! Let me know what you think!!










    And some raw shots of the wheel/tire anti-stance... I need spacers asap, but not sure on sizing. Measured the distance from the lips of my wheels to the inner edge of the fender, and got 25 front 20 rear, seems like a bit much, but what do you think??

    Needs more reflection shots!!!!!!

    Shameless plug, Subaru I did last night (I'm in NY so I'm not trying to steal your customers ):



    Seriously though, your paint looks great and with spacers the stance should look right on!

      spacers will definitely help. great start but i am sure you already know its not finished.

      also, next time make sure you aren't posting the same exact pictures multiple times in the same post

        More reflection shots will be taken today the shop has an open house, so I plan on bringing in the e36 and snapping more pics!

          Some cropping and the addition of some frames/borders to the pics would help them out a lot. Its kinda dull, they ( although not all ) really resemble each other in some way.

          Keep up the work though. Like you said your just getting started this summer.

          Oh, and those tires look kinda square to me.

            That looks dope. But if you keep parking on park walkways, someone is gonna rape your car. Saw it on law and orere...cept it was a chick.
