    Happy B-day to me (Z4 2.5 install pics inside)

    My girlfriend got me the coolest gifts so far:
    1. Z4 2.5L Shift Lever
    2. Bentley Manual
    3. Smoked turn signals

    On to the pictures!

    Before:


    After: (With new illuminated knob)


    Smoked turns among many paint chips:


    Bentley Manual: (It's amazing how much better this is than other service manuals)


    Again my g/f rocks she is a keeper.

        Yeah i said fuck it. I wouldn't trust myself enough to drop the driveshaft/exahust to get to the bushing.

        yeah Photoshop. Take 3 pictures 1st -- N -- 2nd, then cut and past the 1st and 2nd pictures onto the N picture. Then lower the opacity of the 1st/2nd layers. Thats what I did and it turned out alright.

          Rest the camera on the seat and don't move it at all. Take 3 separate pictures and just change the opacity so that the two upper pictures are a bit transparent.

                            No i wired a switch to my reverse lights because either the switch on my tranny gave out or the wires got messed up from my harmonic balancer. So basically i only have reverse lights when i need to see what is behind me.

                              i need to do that.. mine are finicky.. they only come on *sometimes*

                              which means.. they've done it twice since i've owned the car.

                              how exactly did you wire it up?
