How do you like it compared to OEM?

Going to snag a torque wrench now, so haven't used it yet, but just based on feeling it, I think it's going to be a winner. And for $225 net, it's a steal.

Bumper plug was stolen AGAIN so naturally I had to paint a new one and my reflectors. Used express paint for OEM 668 paint, primer and clear. No more 96% match wrap. Don't spaz when the clear coat makes edges look white, it goes away once dry.

PS:Kiss my ass if you notice I broke a tab on one of my reflectors taking it off. Nobody is perfect

and it's gotten really dirty recently
need to take it off

Been doing a little painting too tonight...let's see how good my wrinkle game is..

Edit : it came out pretty sick.... minimal touch up on the lettering which was expected, those white lines are photo trickery.. next up doing the blower in wrinkle red.. two finished pics included

Got track wheels mounted and installed. Big thanks to Ryan ApexRaceParts for answering all my questions on the phone and for the recommendation. Last track day this year in two weeks, I can't wait!

Scrippy's feeling a little spicy today.


Shit getting stolen off the car will do that to you. I hate thieves. My buddy had a nearly complete E36 M3 "tribute" sitting outside his shop. It was waiting for some driveline parts. Well, one weekend he got to the shop and it was a lot less complete. Some punks started with the number 1 Honda mod M3 mirrors and went from there. By the time they were done the car looked like a piece of "Detroit street art".

You got out of this one easy, bro.

That sucks about your buddy. Lol I'm not really mad, I just know some of the assclown comments peeps make. It's seriously like the 3rd bumper plug stolen. Two fronts and one rear. Somewhere in LA a bum is wearing a BMW bumper plug necklace! This bum also has my rim M-stickers on his finger nails as I've replaced those too! Lol it's not a beef with someone it's just LA public parking garage garbage.

Mine only showed the driver's airbag on the open recalls list. The B+ and fuse box recalls didn't apply apparently... They did on my 2009 E90 though.

I called Friday afternoon and was able to bring it in this morning at 9AM. Couldn't believe they had a slot so soon!
