now its gonna snow just because you couldn't wait like the rest of us.
Its probably my fault we get snow in late March every year haha. Last year I had them on by the second week of March...and then it snowed. This year I waited a little longer and the forecast looked like we were in the clear so I figured why not.
Then this morning I checked the weather...
Lol.

Did a few cosmetic changes over the weekend while the weather was so nice.
Added an e46 m3 trunk lip:
I removed the front bumper and re-located the alarm siren to behind the bumper support. It was previously in the engine bay pointed upwards towards the hood insulation (didn't fit in the normal spot because of the ZKW's) and it was extremely muffled. Now it is much more audible so the alarm might actually deter some criminal
I added some lightly smoked depo corner lights to finish off the clear indicator look. I like the clear tails and side markers, but on a white car, clear indicators just get lost and don't look right so these are a nice compromise. I decided to give french fog lights a try since I cracked one of my cheapo fogs. I used some krylon stained glass yellow that I had laying around from my old e36. I sprayed them in the dim garage and didn't realize till I brought them out in the sun that I did one too many coats and they got waaay too dark. I'll have to strip them and re-do it soon. My bumper has also been crooked since I bought the car, so it was nice to finally get it mounted up straight too.
I had seen a few pictures of some e36's with sink drains similar to e39 M5's and kinda liked the look. I had an extra m3 mesh grill laying around so I got a pair of drains, chopped off the bottoms, and fit them into the grille. They make the front of the car look too busy when they are left silver, so I threw on a coat of black plasti-dip as it should hold up to rock chips better than spray paint. I was thinking of working out some ducting to the intake or something just for fun, but that'll be a project for a different day.

Changed the oil. Finally working on getting a new windshield. I've decided to go back to 17's for next summer, so a few months ago I picked up a set of 8.5" contours and 245's for all four corners. I'm looking forward to the meatier setup!Still waiting for my sexy ass interior pics!! [emoji14]

Picked up some engine bay candy from AJK430 (and a few other pieces for some future projects), slapped it on the other day. I didn't clean it, or my engine bay. Didn't notice any handling difference, but I'm on squishy snow tires so I haven't really done any driving where it would make a difference.
