There is a guy that did a group buy on this before where he drove from houston. He did it for $500 per car i believe. There are ppl in houston that do it for cheaper if you're willing to drive down there.

getting cooler outside, DIY? ;0

i am going to be setting up a group by liek i did last time for the guy in houston for the walnut blasting

I need a head count before i set it up, it will be a tad bit cheaper as well vs last time. Looking at $300 - $400 range.

I'm in!

Deemo · 08-18-2012, 03:28 PM

I'm in for sure. I am at 73k miles and god knows if my car has ever had it done.

cmyk · 08-18-2012, 03:46 PM

I wanted to do it last time, and would be in this time if he will be doing it on a weekend. There's no way I can get up at 5am to drive through morning rush hour to Grapevine at 7:30am or whenever he wanted us there. That's just crazy/impossible haha

Motastic · 08-18-2012, 06:28 PM

well this time its a local guy so thats a good thing, he is based out of fort worth.

so 3 people in. If i get 2 more, we have a deal and i can work with him on the price

impactplayer · 08-18-2012, 06:33 PM

I am definitely in!!

artifice · 08-18-2012, 07:52 PM

A maybe for us.

OK, cool. So that's a yes for me IF it's on a weekend. I can't do weekdays due to my crazy schedule.

secretsquirrel · 08-20-2012, 08:42 AM

You guys need to jump in on this. My car had a good idle before the walnut blasting, but now its like a new car.

Hey Mo im Definetly in. But see if you can get it for 300 or less. It seems like i've been spending to much dam money on this car. Water pump, spark plugs, Tires, coding. Not Cheap

I know you feel the same way.

My thoughts EXACTLY!

I will do it if I can drive through on a weekend

I just got rid of the 335i, so I'm glad I didn't waste my money on it

The 135i I now have needs it bad though.

Motastic · 08-20-2012, 04:25 PM

ok, well the guy i am working with now is in fort worth.

He is willing to do it on a saturday & sunday. I told him approximate head count is 5.

Once i get price, will create a thread.

Hey guys! A little family dispute ended up with my dad punching the crap out of my door. Leaving a good sized ding. Anyone have recommendations on dent removal places near Plano?
Thanks! Hope to see y'all at next C&C

Good to know. I've been looking for E85 locally but haven't had much luck. The Krogers near me don't have gas stations

Does anyone else know of any other stations that have E85?

cmyk · 08-21-2012, 12:05 PM

Does anyone by chance have access to one of those digital paint thickness testers?

Due to some shady body shop practices I have a feeling I may need one sometime in the next few weeks. If anyone has access to one, I can pay you to borrow it for an afternoon.

Hey everyone. I have a 2008 pre lci 328i with the ugly halogen headlights. I am wanting to upgrade them without spending a ton of money. Does anyone know if there are shops that sell these and install them? Any other suggestions you have as well would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help!
