        Started putzing around again Yesterday.

        A little before and after of the refinished front bumper shocks

        I didn't know that these rear shock tower carpet cover inserts existed until I was watching a Bavsound audio install on a compact. Obviously I ordered them new right away

        I installed new tail light gaskets on the MHW's and also threw on my new bulb trays

          Impeccable as usual.

          I think I barfed on a blanket that looked like that once

              That's some shit too because I didn't get them until March...

                Should have done what I did and get plates that do not expire 😁

                      I let a buddy of mine test fit the Breytons on his vert, as he was looking at a set and wanted to see how mine fit as the others are far more aggressive

                        How do you do that and not rub? Mine rubs on the inside of the plastic bumper when going over bumps in the road? Are the springs just too soft?

                            It's says WI Bimmers.com somewhere back there! Wheels look great, they'll look better on the ti though.

                                      I should have mentioned that his car was in no way driveable. The reara poked hard and then started to tuck and pull the sidewall from the bead. No way in hell anyone is driving on thesw before the compact does haha

                                        Do those have spacers or is the offset that aggressive? I don't know how someone managed to shape your rear arches like that. My coupe has 17x11's in the back with 245/40's and probably rubs less than what you have lol.

                                          No spacers. there is a bunch of Bondo on the top of the arch.  The arches look terrible, it is pulled out but they didn't remove the seam sealer and flatten the edge.  

                                          I don't stance much, not sure if I can take it much longer.  Do people take the bumper off and move the mounts wider so it holds the bumper wider?  It doesn't rub the metal arch, just the inside of the bumper.  It is creating it's own clearance lol.

                                          I will see what the wheel specs are this weekend.
