Thanks, yeah that's true! Well, I said that a week ago, and since then I've gotten to know this board better. I know that everyone has their opinions and some are just bigger asses than others in how they state them.

So yeah, I'm sure my car will be a constant work in progress

Tru dat! Many are especially averse to being perceived as cheap. "Dip? Vinyl? NON OEM REPAIR PARTS?! What are you, poor? I have so much money I'd never even consider those things!"

The roof wrap certainly looks unique, which counts for a lot on its own!

Good point. I guess this board has a lot more spoiled brats and snobs than others boards too.

Haters be hatin... sometimes folks just need to slow their roll and let people just do their thing- there is constructive advice, and then there's just shit talkin.

The fact that many of you take the time and energy to share your experiences in car ownership with all of us is something to be appreciated, and yes, commented upon respectfully and constructively where applicable.

I give you a lot of credit, my neighbor to the north- you have exhibited a shit ton of patience and tact, and have kept your cool- choosing class and wit amidst a lot of flak in this thread. Kudos and props for being bold!

Dark Knight Spits the truth as usual

If you like it thats all that matters. It's your car. I actually wrapped my roof as well, but it wasn't for me so I removed it.

Glad you enjoy yours though.

It actually looks good on that colour. But I'm not sure it would work with a lighter colour

I m not feeling the rims though

I wrapped mine 3M DiNoc Carbon Fiber and then Matte Black. Then gave up because it just didn't look that great to me.

I am thinking of wrapping my whole car Lamborghini Balloon white, its like a satin type color. Looks amazing!

I actually have a list of mods, I have done.

You don't like the rims in the video or the more recent photos I added? The photos have on the winter tires, which I also don't like. But my summers I thought looked good

Well remember you are modding your car based on what you like, so if you like them, that's all that should matter

Now if you do some performance mods and or a cosmetic mod that actually negatively impacts your car performance wise, that is some constructive criticism I would pay attention to. Because it will do nothing but help you

Yeah, so far I don't have any performance mods planned, so I'm ok there!

That's an awesome thread you've put together with all your mods!
While I'm sure the lambo balloon white wrap would look awesome, I think you'd miss the look of your car. Your e93 is so beautiful.

I'm sure I would, but that's why I would wrap it. Once I get sick of it I can just peel it off but who knows, we'll see haha.

Thank you. Yeah I wanted to keep it Clean and Sporty, so I went with this look.
Although the front end and front fenders are going to be changed out next week. It may look drastically different...hopefully in a good way haha.

Going with 1M Front Bumper by LTMW, Slek Carbon Fiber Lip, and M3 Rep Fenders (non-wide) and no I won't be rocking M3 anywhere on my car haha. I just wanted some fender flare

Mac.

This thread would have 1 page of comments if she weren't a girl...

That said, I think it looks pretty good. I'd like to see it in better light, though.

I just installed a spoiler, so you can see it again in different lighting in my new video:

I didn't care for black rims before either but I think my car with the matte black roof needs to have black rims.

Bimmette,

What a unique and great idea. My car is black, so not sure how it would look.

2 Questions.
1-Did you get the all the chrome trims wrapped? I want this done.
2- How is your car rolling the roof down without you in it? Mine goes up if I hold the lock button down- but how do it put it up with the remote?

thanks.

Zuluaga14@hotmail.com or PM if anyone knows how.

thanks,

JD Zuluaga from Miami

Yes the chrome trim is wrapped in Avery gloss black vinyl.
Your top should go down when you hold down the remote unlock button and close when you hold the lock button. (I have also made a video on this hahah) Yours may be programmed wrong?
