Thanks for your purchase supporting the site! It was shipped out this morning, forgot to mark that in the store though. Can't wait to see pics of it installed
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.

Requesting write up of sticker install. Maybe Chris will sticky it. . .
I'll make it as detailed as possible
srs
Heres some pictures because there's been a lot of text lately
Detailing the boat, thought it looked good from this angle
Have to represent my favorite place to be in the entire world
And finally got to drive an R8. Just so happened to be the V10+ version as well
and oh my lord did that thing sound fucking good

More things came. Put things in. Much Better
Much better by durty30, on FlickrWanted to put it on a window, but I already have two stickers and it would have been crowded and messy looking. Next best spot
WI BIMMERS by durty30, on FlickrJust 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.

I can dabble. Thanks dude
Got my vinyl wrap today, no clue when I'm going to start doing that

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

You're too hard on yourself man. The car looks good, as does the vinyl wrap.
Once its lowered, you'll fall in love.

I appreciate the kind words. Its just not how I want my car to look, and not being in a financially fit position to make it so bothers me (I probably could make it how I want but my dad is already upset about how much money I've spent this year on it, will see what happens).
@snap, there are very few angles that this car looks good from right now. The main one being in person. I know thats a lame excuse, but the perspective in the pictures really exploits how bad the stance is. In person, it looks better (as lame as that sounds).
-
Car looks very good.
And I couldn't resist.

I would replace it with a dynavin if it wasnt $600. It does anย alright job, but I definitely can see why people hate it
And I would replace it with an aftermarket deck if they didnt look absolutely hideous in these cars. I've never seen one framed properly to make it look OEM.

The trim looks gorgeous man! ย The car is going to get where you want it but slow down and enjoy the process right now.

I like it!ย Keep it clean, keep up the maintenance, keep searching for lightly used parts on the forums.ย
Cut a spring for the mean time.ย One coil never hurt anyone...#gatewaydrug
