e'sbimmer · 01-19-2013, 09:04 PM

plasti-dipped 159s

3m vinyl wrapped interior gloss black

e'sbimmer · 01-19-2013, 09:13 PM

I plasti-dipped taillights and then cut a portion of the light out where the led lines are with a razor blade. Theres some over spray but it came off with a little rubbing. More pics to come.

e'sbimmer · 01-19-2013, 09:19 PM

Muffler delete sounds so much better.

e'sbimmer · 01-19-2013, 09:27 PM

more pics

e90Nate · 01-19-2013, 09:45 PM

nice work, not a fan of those tail lights though, you should get some blacklines

idrift4wd · 01-19-2013, 09:54 PM

those tail lights are so gross man. im sorry, like most of the things except those tails.

should have saved all that dip for your grille or window trim. depo blacklines are 160-170 shipped

interior looks better with the gloss black vinyl.

e'sbimmer · 01-19-2013, 10:07 PM

Thanks for the comments. plasti-dipping the grill is next. I thought the tail lights looked cool but now i'm second guessing it. Maybe its just the pics. Ill definitely look into blacklines though.

Bingobimmer · 01-19-2013, 10:39 PM

I like most of it but the plastidip on the taillights...

DEVN335 · 01-19-2013, 10:42 PM

tail lights

project335i · 01-19-2013, 10:44 PM

Wow plastidip is not made for tailights.

e'sbimmer · 01-19-2013, 10:55 PM

Ya im taking the plasti-dip off the tails tomorrow and going to order some blacklines in a few months. Thanks for the input. I think Ill leave the pics up though so others can see how bad it looks before they do it themselves.

Alen E90 · 01-19-2013, 11:05 PM

Congrats on your new 3, I really like the AE's and the gloss black trim...thanks for sharing

TiAg FTW!!!!!!!!!

VTECaddict · 01-20-2013, 12:24 AM

WTF that can not be safe. There would be like zero light transmittance through the plastidip.

Good decision. Congrats on new car!

BOOSTLEE · 01-20-2013, 12:49 AM

no way those tail lights are street legal, people can't see you braking
do dual tips on that muffler delete

JDane07 · 01-20-2013, 01:09 AM

Good job on getting the blacklines...
Those things look atrocious. "A" for effort though.
