bzzbenz · 08-01-2005, 07:34 AM

very clean....

scottz5 · 08-01-2005, 07:38 AM

Tinting on head lights that was my idea! Looks good on black. I wonder what the lighter colors would look like with the tint? I like the orange on my AW, but clear would be better.

dmbigs · 08-01-2005, 11:17 PM

how was this done, can I do a silver one for my Tia Silver?....

I am quite impressed with those lights, front and rear. Though, I'm considering a full black-out by doing the painted wheels as well. How are the subs wired? Are you using an equalizer or is the stock headunit good with the eq? Do you have a regular box or is it custom made to fit in?

itznin · 08-03-2005, 09:10 AM

Yes very nice!

What are you using to convert the NAV into a regular DVD input?

I am interested in doing this as well.

thanks. in the trunk theres a factory amp. they wired it out from there to my own amps just for bass. it sounds bomb. i have a regular box, and i ported my armrest so the bass actually comes inside the car

Awesome car man, you've already done a ton with it

Show us some of your interior mods so far (the audio/dvd stuff)! Check the aftermarket suspension guide for details on what springs are out there and how much they lower the car. Heres that guide

So you are running M3 sized tyres also. Very interesting. These are +1 in overall diameter versus the E90´s original setup (225/40 19 vs 225/40 18).

By the time you need to replace tyres, your should consider getting M3 CSL sized tyres : 235/35 19 & 265/30 19. This setup will be half way between stock and M3 in overall diameter.

The factory E90 19 inch rim option includes 225/35 19 & 255/30 19 tyres, but Tirerack recomends 235/35 19 & 265/30 19.

Glad to know that you have no rubbing issues, but please keep in mind that after lowering her, you may indeed encounter some at the rear. Have you already tried running your car with 5 big people aboard? That may give you some idea of what you may encounter after lowering...

Once again, congratulations for an excellent color/wheel choice. Very original indeed. After seeing your car, I will probably get a set of those wheels for my next E92. You cannot beat polished aluminum wheels on a black car...
