So far the only thing I've done aesthetically is changed out the taillights to the blacklines that you see. The stocks are all red.

Oh lawd. Its so beautiful

It's so shiny! Good job on that wash.

Thanks. It really only lasts shiny for a few hours. The pain of owning a black car.

My only gripe thus far are the brake pads. They throw a ton of brake dust. In the next few weeks I'll be switching them out for some near dustless pads.

When i was about 16 or so, my Aunt had me wax her car. Little did i know, wax is supposed to come off pretty quickly. Instead, i figured the longer it's on, the better it will look. So, i went inside and ate lunch and lounged around while the car sat in the sun and baked the wax on. Took me hours and hours to get it all off.

I too thought the same when I would wax my cars at a young age lol

do with the kevlar pads they dont dust and you can make any car look really shiny if you bounce the light off of it right hahaha

We now see WaLLy's neighborhood...

/me wonders if the krew servers used to lag the neighbor's internet and thats why he moved all to NY.

Nice car man!

Man how do you afford stuff like this Wally!? (Loaned money I'm guessing)

For reals though, it's a very nice car man, also I know the pain of having black, I use to have a black pickup like the white one I have now and even garaged the dirt would show up within hours. After that I devoted to never buying black again unless I have a garage and a car cover for it, not to mention how hot it gets in the summer time!

 

[WaLLy]

The only car payment we have is the wife's. I didn't want to tack on another one so we paid this one in full.

Oh man, AZ summer time is gonna keel me. Gonna have to tint the car all around. Good thing AZ doesn't have anal laws like CA so I'll be able to tint 'em the darkest. Then again, pretty sure they aren't anal for it since they need the tint there more than here.

 

[BluBirD78]

I'm glad to hear that man! Most people now days just buy it with a loan, so technically it's not their car it's the bank's until it's paid off, which is why I buy mine in full

I'm not sure about AZ laws on tint but I would tint them medium all around at the least if you can. The bad about going "limo" tint is that it's a PITA to see out of at night time, trust me my old Thunderbird use to have it on the back windows so I can speak from experience lol.

I envy you so much......I drive a 97' Plymouth Grande Voyager.........SO MUCH IS WRONG WITH IT! I'm honestly surprised it still runs.

Nice ride!

Nice man! You know what's awesome about those 335i's? The aftermarket ECU tune. Go get it Wally. Trust me, it's AMAZING.

 

[Storky]

It's definitely on my things to do. Right now, doing some maintenance on it. Brakes and oil are next.
