Already readthat article. Have his car as my wallpaper on my computer. Makes me wanna paint my car black

[Earl]

Does it make you want to do "California Bumpers"?

[Brian.]

He put a stupid amount of time into those bumpers.. And into retro-ing the bumper to fit.

[Earl]

He did indeed. It looks very tasteful=) I like his fitment.

Bumper looks alright. Should have just spent that time he wasted making that bumper, into sourcing a Euro one.

his fitment is ridiculous. 11.5 in the rear

[Earl]

I'm sure he didn't waste too much time. Shipping cost alone justifies the time to me=) Plus it is unique and subtle. Those rear lips are great. I cringed when I saw they were Rotiform barrels and lips though=( A lot of people have been cracking barrels and lips from them lately. All of them broke with normal driving, and no potholes, in under 2,000 miles of driving=/

[Brian.]

Shitty. Rotiform is stupid expensive. Their forged line is $1350 per wheel starting.

[Earl]

That's how much all custom wheels cost unfortunately=/

[Brian.]

So stupid. I just want a clean ass set of 16 or 17x10" -10 offset wheels.... I don't wanna pay $4K for wheels. My car didn't even cost me that much.

[Earl]

Buy a set of modular wheels and get bigger lips=) I don't think anyone else around here will be running 17x10's:shifty:

true.

[Brian.]

Just put some conditioning/cleaner on the BMW's rear seats because they were really faded, to an almost light grey color. They look great, minus the faded leather color, hardly any cracks. But I put some conditioning/cleaner on the seats (really lathered the seats in them) and they are looking great! They are really soft again too!

[Brian.]

Acquired a nice beefy skid plate for the E28. YAY, thismeans more low!

Cutting more coils, huh?

[Brian.]

Nah. Different setup.

[Earl]

Get the front lips off of a Jaguar XJ6 and put it on if you no want bumpers=)

I think I remember talking to you about this before, but I was looking at Willis' thread and thought about you=)
