just a quick shot with my friends gti (its a sleeper, I'd put my money on that over a stock 335i any day)

halcyon_waves · 08-08-2012, 12:53 AM

what % tint is that and have you ever had trouble with cops? i'm new to LA and i hear you can't have any tint on front windows but cops usually don't care?

car looks great

well I usually have the front windows because I like the breeze, but I got pulled over once for it at around 10:30 at night. It was some cop showing a rookie on how to do a write up. It took close to 20 min to just verify my info and write the ticket. On top of that they sent me to the wrong court and scribbled the expiration deadline... It's only a fix it ticket so don't worry about it even if you did. I drive with no front license plate and dark tints, and never got pulled over except for that one bs time. And I'm at 15% i believe, had it for almost 2 years its dark enough to give it a great look, but also light enough so I dont have to roll my windows down at night just to see

Your car looks awesome. Great work!

Bimmer Nerd · 08-08-2012, 08:08 PM

Huge improvement from what you started with. I am glad you got rid of those wheels.

Ps. You need a set of xenons/depo's and your ride will be pretty much done !

z4ps · 08-08-2012, 08:19 PM

Turned out very nice.

I know, it kills me not to have them. Someone donate a pair to me

The only thing holding me back from doing much more to the car is rumors in my family of selling it within the year for a MT 135i hopefully

hawaiianeze · 08-09-2012, 04:14 PM

will be trying panning shots today, but doubt any will turn out. Never know if you dont try

monkawekrue · 08-09-2012, 05:11 PM

looks good.

hawaiianeze · 08-09-2012, 06:15 PM

a quick one

BKap08 · 08-10-2012, 01:08 AM

love those wheels, i have the same in gunmetal!

hawaiianeze · 08-10-2012, 11:12 AM

thanks, I love the rims. They sit flush and don't rub at all, I really wanted the gunmetal but wasn't going to turn down a great deal I got on them.

NYAWE60 · 08-10-2012, 03:38 PM

JDane07 · 08-10-2012, 03:47 PM

Are your exhaust tips suppose to be black or are they just dirty as hell?

Omar335i · 08-10-2012, 07:27 PM

I think if the rims were gloss black it would pop more. That's why i go back and forth because sometimes flat black rims on a black car just look ashy lol.
