WARNING: Drilling bumper shocks.

[McGyver]

no they are not. Vert rocker panels are different than coupe rocker panels..

and i believe that m3 panels are different from coupe panels...

ill4noreason told me that.

Why don't you guys just ease the car into a wall, and in reverse? That tucks it too...

It will tuck them as long as you stay pressed into a tree...

They just pop back out, assuming the seals are good.

[Mr. Tasty]

people are idiots ITL

Honestly this is the most helpful thread anyone could bump. This and using jack stands correctly. You can never remind people often enough.

Double checking your lug nuts can save your own nuts.

Because this is relevant information.... Honestly it could due for a sticky to keep people out of the hospital. Maybe not in the general section though.

Plastic bumpers FTMFW

I do air conditioning and a couple times I'll get a wiff of some burnt r22 and it scares the hell out of me I try to be more careful now

Just did mine yesterday . Mine shot oil but I was wearing glasses and didn't inhale anything but the nasty ass smell ! Glad I didn't inhale any :/ thanks for this cause in about to do my rears ! Would half mask respirator with niosh filters and good goggles u think work instead of full face shield ? Or use my old welding mask ?

[KIRIEIW]

Wowww I'll defenetly wear a tubin of some sort and safety googles when I do this, maybe a painters mask/ those masks people in china wear too not breath in germs... Glad your ok!

[NeedaE30]

tucking bumpers is easy and safe with a little common sense o.O

[efficient]

When I cut my shock I didn't get any on my face or inhale any but it made my hands feel like if my skin absorbed the oil and felt wwrm. I'd wear rubber gloves if you plan on touching the shocks.
