XDEEDUBBX 's Very Slow Build Thread

XDEEDUBBX · 10-31-2011, 07:46 PM

Hey guys, well here goes my very slow build thread. Don't expect many great things either lol. I will update this every time I execute a mod. I'm a fan of DIY mods so you will typically see more of those with my build. I purchased my car in Sept 2011.

The day I picked it up from the Stealership. Its a 2011 535i, sports package, and nav:

And here goes my first round of DIY mods. I had some spare carbon fiber vinyl laying around so I put it to good use:

This one came out kinda shabby but oh well:

And I plasti dipped my grills, came out pretty good IMO:

Thats it for now. I ordered some wheels a couple weeks ago so I'm hoping they come in before Xmas LOL!

jaekeem · 10-31-2011, 09:53 PM

Wow very cool hands on touches. I like how you did the matte grille.

XDEEDUBBX · 10-31-2011, 11:17 PM

Jaekeem, love your car bro, hope to be there in a year or two lol.

Nothing special, I was thinking about making my own set of vortex generators then spraying the center part black. Still deciding on what to use..

XDEEDUBBX · 11-02-2011, 06:26 PM

Did some work on gettin the rear difusor done but goofed it up. I will start it again tomorrow. Thank god for plasti dip, shit just peels right off! I have an idea on how to add rear vortex generators onto the rear of the bumper. Will post better pix tomorrow.

Car is looking good!

Paulreyes2 · 11-10-2011, 12:38 PM

Any progress on your diffuser?

XDEEDUBBX · 11-10-2011, 01:21 PM

I did some work on it again yesterday, got better results this time around but still wasn't happy with the way it came out. I will be ordering some matte /flat black vinyl and just go that route.

don't mind the junk in the garage lol, in the process of clearing it out lol

Love your hands-on approach! I want to do the same to my diffuser, don't really know how good vinyl will do but pls keep me in touch

XDEEDUBBX · 11-10-2011, 03:31 PM

thanks. Vinyl will come out a lot cleaner, last time I tried it I didn't have enough vinyl (never measured lol).

Next week I plan on taking it to get tinted!

XDEEDUBBX · 11-15-2011, 02:58 PM

Picking my car up from the tint shop in an hour. Went with limo tint.

EV0LVE · 11-15-2011, 03:47 PM

DIY FTW! Did you do anything with the chrome fender trims and bumper lights yet? Keep us posted.

XDEEDUBBX · 11-15-2011, 06:53 PM

No not yet, maybe on Friday if I have time I'll get it done.

Here's a pic from the tint shop. Went with limo tint. Love the blacked out look! I'll take pix of it tomorrow after a wash and detail.
