Welp, I'll be visiting home this upcoming weekend.
Plan on giving the car its first wash in 4 months..

Anyone in the bay area think they could hook it up with removing my CABs and pressing the new ones?

You're car looks weird without a roof rack. Haha.

Ahh yes, so i'm not crazy after all. They're on e90 drop hats and there aren't any in the rear to begin with. Euroweaves may be in order in the coming months! A local Alameda e30 head who has a shop on the old navy base has a new green 325is parts car just sitting in the middle of an open parking lot. it has euro weaves. think i might offer to trade with him.

Eh, it looks a bit more used but not in a bad way. I think the front was def lower in the front, but maybe you could just take the spring pads out of the front (or stack the rear? idk).

Some euroweaves wouldn't hurt

I was just reminiscing for the past hour about the progression of my car.
Looking back, do you guys think my car looked better in 2011?

To me, it certainly looked lower in the front before I installed bilstein hd struts (?) and the paint hadn't gotten so bad. The car's paint IMO has gotten WAY worse since the beginning of my ownership in 2010. And the wheels haven't been properply cleaned since...

Here's an update guys.
Have been driving the living shit out of this car for the past few months in San Diego (on the DL).
Car needs the following attention:
-Oil/filter change
-New exhaust hangers
-new european trim
-paint respray in certain areas
-new bushings in several locations
-new tires (will go on its new wheels)
-new tranny exhaust mount
-respray iS lip (every few months, haha)

Also on a safety-note:
-Sealed beams are total SHIT.
I drove the Highway 101 all the way up, in the terrential downpour, hauling ass in the fast lane.
Couldn't see SHIT. It was almost scary. Visibility on these lights suck.

Looking for a cheap set of, NON-pitted ellipsoids now. ;)

But for the next few months, I'm gonna focus back on school.
Going to leave the car at home, it'll be one less head-ache to deal with.

Happy holidays all!

Sina

I'll leave y'all with some photos from the last few months in San Diego, and such...
