hey, do you have a light tint? its a nice touch.

Post by: thumper3ld on March 09, 2006, 11:32:38 PM

Thanks, I guess you can say its a light tint. Its more of a 4 year old faded tint. Im contemplating having the tint redone. Just dont want to pay the extra for removing the old tint.

Bavauto. Someone had special ordered it and decided they did not want it and I happened to call before they shipped it back.

That blackline steering wheel is uber hawt! Is it the same size as the stock?

Post by: thumper3ld on April 18, 2006, 09:13:09 PM

Thanks, its a bit smaller. I would say maybe an inch or a little less.

I'll get you some today after I get out of work.

Nice to see a b-rot with body color rocker panels. When they're black they make the spoiler real low in relation to the body - like a bad overbite.

Do you mind taking a bunch of pics of your car on level ground? :)

Title: New Pics
Post by: thumper3ld on July 20, 2006, 01:26:21 PM

New Pics with new profile tires. Previous sizes were 205/55/15. New size is 225/50/15. Hope the side profile pics are the ones you were looking for motorsport. If not let me know and I'll take more.

Is the car on level ground? Is your car lower than Febi's? The front looks the same in the pics ><.

No the ground has a slight incline from rear to front and Im not sure if its lower than febi's at the moment. I am headed up to boston in a couple of hours and i'll be taking the 318 with me so if the place im staying has a level surface, i'll take more pics there.

Yeah man. Sucks to get back from vaca and have to drop 300 on tires but, I needed them. The inside of the rears were worn out pretty bad from the camber and my passenger side rear was leaking air. Had to keep filling it every 2 days. Could've replaced just the fronts, but I wanted to change the profile. Tires feel pretty nice. Drove them up to boston lastnight taking the merrit pkwy (ct 15) and the held up pretty well. They are Kumhos ecsta 711's.
