AWESOME!

what a difference when you clay bar your car and finished it off with some BlackLight and a nice carnuba wax like ButterWet wax! just did mine! yours turned out great!

carbon wrapped my door pillars as well as the door trim

also decided to pull off the carbon wrapped mirror caps and ordered some carbon fiber covers instead. maybe it's the contour of the mirrors but for some reason it started to peel up?

lsturbointeg · 08-13-2017, 09:54 PM

Ordered the carbon fiber mirror caps. As soon as I get them I'll post the quality and fitment on these

benacto · 08-13-2017, 10:15 PM

took off the only chrome left... the "550i". washed and waxed. took a few shots before it got dark.

vpatel867 · 08-14-2017, 06:34 PM

I finally removed the blue plastic shield from the foot rest.

Slip ons. you just need to remove the stock rubber ones. I didn't want to drill with the aftermarket BMW. BMW should just include brake and gas like an aluminum foot. I had to buy cheap eBay.

Just finished putting on my new Avant Garde 20x9 M359s. This is going to be my summer setup so I wrapped them with Dunlop Direzza dz102 tires.

I also purchased some carbon fiber center caps off amazon. The fit is good but the quality is about what you would expect for $28 for the set.

Getting the windows tinted in 2 days. Still trying to decided if I want to lower it with springs...
Might wait until after winter for that.

Tried the Auto dip spray vinyl for my non-sport diffusers on both our cars,
sorry i didnt take a shot with both cars pre vinyled, but you can get the idea

i think it makes a nice easy mod w/o having to replace the rear bumpers!

and makes a huge difference especially to my wifes 328

Hey that turned out pretty clean!

ezaircon4jc · 08-17-2017, 11:37 AM

Would do that on our '12 base but I think it would blend in too much with the dark graphite...
