I politely told him I was fine with that but when i called I was told municipal doesn't lower ticket cost to which he replied "I'm the judge, I decide the penalty" we both laughed and I was on my merry way! Instead of paying $328 I only had to pay $90

They have to pay for their holiday party somehow. Lol

Glad you got it straightened out.

Clay bar and waxed for the 530i for sure. Maybe the same for the 335i or show car finish. Do you know of any places that refinish or powder coat wheels? Should have taped or plastidip my wheels

Ugh it sucks how bad roadtrips can tear up your car. I have to drive to Goodfellow AFB in TX for tech school in feb and i'm already thinking of the precautions I want to take to save my paint.

Ok sounds good. Let me do some looking/talking to peeps about a shop for powder coating.

smack · 11-29-2012, 09:42 PM

So I did a little research and found state of the art powder coating, snail motorsports, or shine shop.

Painters tape is a good cheap solution.

Quick question, for those with catless dps and a JB4; if you get the dpfix you're set to pass a smog right?

smack · 11-30-2012, 01:48 PM

Dont know if I will make it out to MM tonight. I will see what the wife has planned as her cousin is in town.

Can't wait until I recover from this surgery so I can make it to a few meets.

wtfmateim65 · 12-11-2012, 11:06 PM

Hey guys, any local shop recommendations in the Henderson or LV area? Need to get a fresh set of tires mounted and properly balanced(slight shake around 55mph) as well as an alignment! Also anticipating where to get my water pump/thermostat replaced if/when it finally fails. :/

smack · 12-12-2012, 11:58 AM

Not sure about a tire shop.
H1 performance for alignment.
SWBimmers for mechanical work.
