Alright, so I'm pretty new to Stance Works, but I've been reading build threads the past few days and I've decided to post one of my own. Let me start out by saying my name is Tommy, I am still in high school, so my budget is very small. I also work for my own money, just because I'm young doesn't mean my parents buy me everything, they don't pay for my hobby. Anyway, I have a 2004 325Ci. Also I apologize for the crappy iPhone pictures.
Here she is they day I brought her home.
So at first, I didn't really have much of a plan. It stayed like this for a few months, then it started with just wanting to get rid of the chrome grills with some Plasti Dip, I also de-badged the trunk.

After this, I decided the chrome window trim looked out of place, so I plasti dipped that too .
(I lost a lot of pictures due to drowning my phone)
The trend followed to the wheels, really just because I didn't have money and wanted black wheels.
One side done!
Finished.
I picked up a #rememberthebuster sticker when Paul Walker died, and tinted the tail lights. Also picked up a Canon 50D, so picture quality may improve
Macon, Georgia rarely gets snow, and of course I go to help a friend out one night, and the next morning came out to this.
Anyway. So everything up until this point has been cheap, easy and aesthetic. The entire time, I've been doing odd jobs and saving as much of the money as I could. I got on craigslist and found a roof rack with the bike holder for $250, and talked him down to $180.
(excuse how dirty the car is)
I was getting tired of the car being quiet... so I put almost all of what I had saved, into UUC TSE3 exhaust. It sounds great, but was a little pricey. Just under $1000... and i had to have the old muffler cut off by a buddy.
Here's a shitty video of the sound

First meet I've ever been to with my car happened in March of this year, it was the first annual Macon Madness meet. It wasn't huge, but I was glad to be part of it. Here's a few pics.

Here's one from a meet last week.
This week I picked up some Kosei K1's for $200 17x8.5... they just need to be re-painted
Stripping the old shitty paint.
That's everything up till right now. I started sanding the wheels and hopefully will be painting soon
