They quoted me $470, you must have winked at them just right to get that price. Did you go through your insurance or something?

My insurance uses them for repairs, however, the cost of the windshield was less than my deductable so I paid out of pocket. Maybe I got a discount though my insurance, or the Safelite in Roseville is cheaper.

I spent a little money today. I knew my rotors were bad and apparently I had a torn front bushing. So, time for some upgrades. Hope if all arrives before Sep 7th.

- M3 control arms & wishbones
- M3 rear subframe bushings
- Powerslot front rotors (will combine with my Cool Carbons again)
- ECS SS brake lines
- Other: Motul 600 Brake Fluid, Oil Filter, Motive Brake Bleeder...

Plus, I still have to install my PMW kit and get an alignment. Unsure I can pull all this off before the next HPDE. Fingers crossed.

Syndicategt · 08-26-2011, 01:49 PM

Good luck buddy! I'm around this weekend if you want a hand installing anything. I just got done doing my buddies subframe bushings....what a shitty time that was

Any chance I could bum that brake bleeder from you? I have some Challenger SS brake lines and Motul 600 as well.

Wow didn't know! Congrats brother. New future employee for TapX

lawwailok · 08-30-2011, 03:20 PM

oh wait Jay, so the link/pic is for the LCI front e90, please tell me you have a "modified kidney" version which will make the LCI mtech fit on the pre-lci with the pre-lci 2 piece kidney, if so... my heart is sold!

It's alright man. Kids > Mods (to a certain extent) but when the kid asks for a toy and you can get a Mtech front bumper for the same price... i know you will make the right decision

lawwailok · 08-30-2011, 03:26 PM

yea as far as the bumper, did you see my post #847? that's really tempting if you altered the LCI mtech to fit pre lci, cuz i know the main thing is the kidney grill part

Vinyl wrap usually is a very easy DIY... im sure we can help as long as you have the material handy.

welcome on board!

Activ · 08-30-2011, 11:47 PM

I helped wrap my friends Audi A5. Are you looking to wrap the whole car or just portions?

Syndicategt · 08-31-2011, 02:04 PM

<3 Jay

You finally got some e90 MTech Rears! Quick question, you said that OEM diffusers work with the bumper, does that also mean aftermarket ones "should" fit too? Please PM me your best price painted and shipped

abcde · 08-31-2011, 08:32 PM

Spotted an E90 silver or white with a black hood making a right onto El Centro from Del Paso this morning a bit after 7 AM, maybe around 7:10. Had to be someone on this board right?

Yeah just moved up to the area. I think I've PM'ed you back and forth before about Sac. I'll keep an eye out for you.

But yeah I didn't get too good of a look at the car that I spotted but it definitely had a black hood which obviously made it stand out and catch my eye. You see it around before?
