          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

                  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)

                            pIl6rHcl.jpg

                            All of the trim

                            KoTdANFl.jpg

                            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,

                            h7xilzvl.jpg

                            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.

                                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 think it looks great! The camera angle and perspective change due to zoom (for lack of proper photography terminology) can make dumb cars look good in pictures or cool cars look dumb

                                        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.
