    ^I think? It all depends what your goal is, if you want to be slammed go for it. If you want a performance ride they may not be the best choice. I have very little fender gap, but I am not tucking either.

    This is all I could find for a quick pic

                      For 6 bucks it was hard to say no. Im a sucker for stickers, BMW's, and Wisconsin. So naturally, I had to buy it.

                              More things came. Put things in. Much Better

                              14229414569b7bbf334e4b.jpgMuch better by durty30, on Flickr

                              Wanted to put it on a window, but I already have two stickers and it would have been crowded and messy looking. Next best spot

                              Just ordered some gloss black vinyl wrap. Was only 25 bucks for a 5 x 2 sheet so why not

                                Friendly photo tip:

                                Lightroom > Lens Corrections > Color > Remove Chromatic Abberation

                                Smoked corners look much better.

                                  I used to do it on every picture but I never saw that it did anything, so I stopped. Will do from now on

                                    Some pictures don't need it, but the one above needs it bad. You can play with the sliders til it looks good.

                                    I couldn't help but to snap a picture while your car was all wet today.

                                        Not sure why, but I decided I was gonna wrap my trim tonight. I can barely wrap a present myself so I was heading into uncharted territory with this DIY. Picked up some plastic trim tools after work and headed home. Did the biggest, straightest piece first. It went surprisingly well for my first time ever doing this. No bubbles, corners nice and sharp. The next two trim pieces I did have to do over because of some minor bubbling, but I would rather get it right than have it bother me. Not pictured below is the shifter trim, which I also did tonight. I apologize for the bad pictures, was just quickly taking some.

                                        The first piece (my first attempt)

                                        All of the trim

                                        The flash makes the picture look horrible, but really shows the trim in the car. Ill get a better picture tomorrow when its not night time and with terrible garage lighting,

                                        Just have to do the front and rear arm rests

                                        I do not regret picking gloss black over the fake carbon fiber at all. I personally think the fake CF looks tacky, the gloss black is very subtle and OEM looking, exactly what I wanted

                                          Realized it was good conditions for taking pictures today, went out and gave it a shot. Quickly realized how ugly and un-photogenic my car is. Was disappointing to say the least.
