Hello from LA

Übermensch · #1 08-16-2012, 10:47 AM

I've been going to the weekly meets for a while now, but never actually posted on here. So it's about time I joined the internet community; here's my car. So far I've done a K&N intake, full Active Autowerke exhaust, OEM 19s (had OEM 18s), Orion V4 angel eyes, strut brace and bluetooth audio/calling.
There's a lot more I want to do, but for now my attention has turned to my 740iL which I just Plasti Dipped matte white. I also want to add 20" Alpina wheels and do a tranny swap with a 6MT from an E39 M5.

Hey, I've seen you at the meets. Looks good, I've always been a fan of that color

Thank you. I recognize your car from your avatar. You've got such a clean E46. Where did you get your LED tails done? I've been wanting those for a while.

Thank you! I bought them from DDM and installed them myself

Oh nice! How hard/long did the instal take? Hopefully they have them for verts.

It wasn't hard, doesn't take too long either, but I did one side and my boyfriend did the other. YouTube how to install it if you get stuck.

Very Nice! I love that color

It's holding up great so far. I've hand washed it and (for the first time ever for any car I've owned) I machine washed it. Nothing has peeled off. The machine wash did leave little fabric filaments all over the car, but that's really my fault because the coat was really rough (I didn't have enough coats on it).
