Nice rides!

I just got mine too, but I got the automatic coupe. Mine is a 2010 with 36k miles, loaded with Msport package. I thought about taking the time to find a manual, but when I drove this car I was pretty hooked. My last ride was an '07 Mazdaspeed3.

I've had my car for 2 weeks now. I threw on some black grills yesterday, and have some painted front reflectors waiting to go on. I have a spoiler on order and am going to get a new tint job as well.

Once all that is done, the go-fast modding starts.

Your car looks awesome...and this is coming from somebody who isn't too keen on the e90 look of the 335i.

Thanks! I hadn't quite thought about the actual brand of tint, but thanks for the heads up. Took a look on the internet and that looks to be pretty legit. Will def inquire when I take it in for an estimate.

Thanks for the welcomes and compliments everyone!!

And thank you for confirming what that little voice in the back of my head has been telling me since picking up the BMW, "keep the integra!"

The brand makes a pretty big difference. It depends on what you're going for as well. I'm not going so much for a "look" as I want UV/heat protection. Plus I don't want too much trouble from cops, as ANY aftermarket tint on front windows is illegal here in California. So I went with Crystalline which is just about the most expensive and not anywhere near the darkest.

I believe SolarGard or something makes a similar but cheaper tint with UV/heat protection. But in NJ that may not be your primary concern ;-)

Make sure to post some pics when you're done!

congrats on the new car! you have a great starting point, also i still have a soft spot for integer type R's. please never sell that car!

tmo24 · 02-19-2013, 12:17 PM

I'm gonna go ahead and say not to keep the integra. Sell that piece of shit....

To me!

I have a soft spot for teggies too. Had an integra and also an rsx type s. Loved them both. Congrats on the new car and welcome!

BV335 · 02-19-2013, 02:51 PM

Nice ride man! AW looks great and M-Sport. Like mine but 4 doors, you will really enjoy it!

As for the Type-R.....keep it! From a former 00' GSR owner I can really appreciate such a great car. I miss my Integra sometimes still to this day. Such a shame Acura didn't continue with that or the RSX.
