Looking better every day! Nice work, I think the tails look excellent. I do see what you mean though about the driver's side being a tad darker, could you just shoot the passenger side light with a light coat?

[Danny]

It would bother me for sure.

[Bimmerista]

I think it looks fine.

Great progress!!

I got some work done the past few days. I am still waiting for other parts to come in.

I painted the brakes and wheel wells


The paint wasnt dry so it didnt look even



Rears




I also changed the front door sills as they were all cracked up

New


New

Lastly I bought new tails
Painting them red

Tape removed

I decided to give them a really light smoke finish. This is my first time doing something of the sort
Clear and black mixed. Looks crazy black huh?

Not
Test lights first


New lights. I added even more black???


Off to sleep

I let them sit over night and insalled them today
Notice the driver side reverse light just a tad bit darker?? Is it enough to bother, should I repaint them?? What do you guys think?




Thats it for today.

Man I don't have to tell you to keep up the good work! Unlike me you can get a project done!

I like everything sans the tips, but thats just me. Can't wait for a proper shoot. :up:

Thank you, I appreciate you following the build.

Yeah, I am not a big fan of the tip either, but for free I cant complain.

Looking good.

Thank you

i did the same thing on my dads M3, but with cherry bombs. sounded stock

Nice, this sounds a little loder than stock, but not annoying. I need to post a sound clip, i keep forgeting. lol

Damn man.

Lookin good, nice transformation.

How do you like that floor jack in the last set of pics?

I used to use one like that and it worked good....most of the time.

Props to ya for all the work.

Andy

Thank you.

I love that jack. I have had it for like 4-5+ years and never had a problem with it. It is the only jack I have that fits under low cars and it is pretty light.

Sorry for the lack of updates. It has been a busy holiday season. In the free time I have had I have gotten the windows detinted
The pics suck.
With tints

Without


The front Valence did not fit right

Turns out it was sticking in too much

Problem solved



I cleaned the engine bay. It looks better in person, after I putthat gunk spray
Before


After





I also finally worked on the exhaust.
Stock muffler


Nice huh?



Tips


Look at the nice stock tips

Cutting off the muffler

Building the new system



All done



The tips are not perfect, we have a little more to work on. Over all it looks nice, it is only temp until I get the motor and then it is a whole new system.
Not bad for $35.00 though, huh?
In then ext few days I need to re clear the tails, paint the calipers silver, maybe polish the wheels (depending it I have time), and give the car a damn good washing for stage one to be done, and a photoshoot to come.
