Welcome to the "Rock pink bcaps for a week. Earn $20." thread. The format of this contest is as follows: There are 10 entry slots that are vying for three $22 prizes via Paypal. Each of the 10 entry slots will be sent $4 via Paypal to defray the cost of painting the wheels. The three prizes will be awarded after you have installed pink bottlecaps on your E30 for seven days, and you will relate the story of your wheels in pictures and words. The remaining seven contestants will have pink bottlecaps on their hands.
BDSax has mentioned that a can of Painter's Touch by Rustoleum in Berry Pink is an easy way to get the proper color, and for cheap! However Jscotty has also mentioned that using latex paint offers a good alternative to not screwing up your wheels permanently. I dunno how well the paint will adhere, but I can't imagine it'll come off that easily. Remember, removing paint is difficult, so remember that after this contest, your wheels might not be worth much unless you strip and repaint them!
You MUST take at least four pics of the car:
1. When you install the wheels
2. When you park in a public place at the beginning of the week
3. When you park in a public place at the middle of the week
4. When you park in a public place at the end of the week
The wheels must be pink. No cheating and using slightly pink tinted white paint, because that will just get you zero dollars.
Number of Participants:

Terms and Conditions
E30s are the only vehicle allowed. No MCoupes, no E36/46 M3s that belong to Mom or Dad. Just E30s. If it's ragged, I don't care. I have a soft spot for shitboxes because I own 2 of them.
You must supply a high quality picture at least 3 days in a seven day period in the Members Ride Section with your car in a public place. So when you run to the bank and park in front, snap a pic. So you go to Giant/Kroger/Albertsons, whatever grocery chain you have, snap another pic.
Jscotty brought this to my attention. There could be people trying to defraud me. Well just in case, you must have at least one rolling shot and a pic of something with the day's date on it with the car in the background. I don't care what it is, as long as it is not something that YOU can change, like a cell phone display. Bank receipts, gas receipts, newspapers, all fit the bill. Also, if you give me your mom's phone number I'll ask her if you really painted your wheels pink.
Go crazy man! Additional props, but no additional money will be earned if you park across multiple parking spaces, rev at ricers, or go cruise on the "Ave" on Friday night.
You can earn a maximum of $6 extra by doing one of the following (each action is worth $3):
1. replacing Roundels with Hello Kitty stickers
2. If asked by a girl why you have pink bcaps, you must say that it is for breast cancer awareness. Any subsequent action that you get because of your social awareness of a women's issue is well-earned, but this is the internet. Pics or ban. A suggestion, maybe a pickup line, is to say you offer free breast exams when you are engaged in convo. Hell you might have the unintentional side-benefit of fondling 52 year old tit.
Remember, you must take pics. One at the begining of the week, one in the middle, and one at the end of the week. A week is defined as seven days from the start of you painting and installing your wheels. Please document in pictures at least the installation of your wheels.
Just one rule. Please do not think that painting your wheels pink gives you the right to engage in illegal behavior such as racing Hondas or disposing of your car in a river. Feel free to holler at MILFs, 16 year olds at the bowling alley, or whomever you think is looking at you crooked. Especially if they are hot.
Payment
At the conclusion of the seven days, the three people with the best pictures and stories will be awarded $22 via Paypal (to cover the fees and to put $20 into your pocket). A picture is worth a 1000 words. If you spit game at some MILF and get her digits, it didn't happen unless there are pics. If a tree falls in the woods, did it really fall? What is the sound of one hand clapping? Yeah, that's what I thought.
At maximum I will pay you within 48 hours of the completion of the contest period, which ends after the last person to paint and install his wheels's seven days are over.
Time Limit
You must paint and install the wheels within 4 days. Most of you bizzles are HS / college students so if it takes you more than 4 days to do this, there's something wrong with you. I changed the time limit so that people pretty much start by the end of this weekend.
Judging
How will your photos and stories be judged? Mostly by popular sentiment, but I reserve final judgement of the three winners.
