    Yesterday I threw in my new hood release cable and associated parts. This was super easy with the fender off.

    I also threw the rear bumper on to get an idea of how the rear will look when finished. I was looking around for my bumper trims to throw on as well but couldn't find where I put them.

      #datass what's the new exhaust configuration gonna be? I asssume there isn't enough room to put 90's on the end of the stock muffler like a e39.

          I'm having a "header" back exhaust made that will turn down behind the bumper. My stock exhaust was absolutely thrashed and the muffler on there was HUGE haha. I am definitely going for a nice and quiet exhaust with as deep of a tone as the m42 will let me get away with=)

                You are an E36 body and interior wizard

                I would have broken everything while disassembling it

                    Drill a hole and make the exhaust exit right out of the center of the hood. Thats what all the cool kids do.

                      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

                            I thought you were going to say you hope to see them peel like most new plates I have seen

                              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?

                                        someone put graffiti on his roof, you should call the cops.

                                        those wheels are amazing!

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