First Post! New Ride

ryanpeters89 · 01-25-2012, 03:41 AM

Hey guys, I've been lurking for the past few hours since I just got my first BMW a few days ago...06 325i with premium package. All I have to say is that I'm in love. I was previously driving a 94 Camaro Z28 m6 which was fast, and fun, but this is a whole new world. Would have liked a 335 but this is good on gas and fun to drive too. I hope to get in on some of these meets!

Looks great. Where are you located?

I am finishing up school in Carrollton, home is in Fayetteville, but I'm in and out of downtown pretty frequently.

Thank you! I'll definitely be in touch, as I have a lot of minor mods I'd like to do to the car. Any reputable tint shops that you guys would recommend?

Oasis Tint in Lawrenceville. Go there and nowhere else.

I have some friends that use to live in your area, they said Victory treated them well in the past (not sure if that tells you which shop though, it could be a nick name or short name for a shop).

Welcome!

ryanpeters89 · 01-26-2012, 01:48 PM

Awesome, I'll check into both of those.

Noob question since I've already got this thread started, I really like the looks of the Mtec v3 angel eyes...Im wondering though, this only changes the brightness/color of the halo circle, not the actual light shining on the road from the xenons, right?

I've heard a lot of good things about them as well. One thing I want to point out is that if you have an E90, your tint will get scratched up by your window seals - ask me how I know.

You should buy some Tint Protector felt (http://www.tintprotector.com).

That's correct - it only changes the brightness and color of the angel eyes.

The angel eye bulbs only change the color and brightness of the light coming from the rings in the headlamps not the head lights. If you like the "v3" set up check out our Racing Dash LED bulbs found HERE. They look great on our cars night or day.

Thanks for the heads up! is the felt a pretty easy install? I didn't see any pictures on the site.

Let's start the mods !

no worries! window tint, angel eyes with matching fogs, and possible blacklines to come soon. thats the subtle list. I'd love to do one of those mtec rear ends with that sweet diffuser. I think the contrast would look sweet on a white car.

welcome to the club! We have a crew that meets in Fayetteville frequently (slowed down due during the winter) but come on out!
