Next mod? Cheap?

cdheaven · 02-15-2006, 05:10 PM

I normally HATE threads like this, and now im starting one!
I did the carbon fiber lips, i love it.
I did the pedals, I love it!
and im itching to do something else.
My first choice would be wheels, but i cant justify spending money on wheels, unless someone has a nice set of 19 or 20 inch used rims.
What can i do 200-400 buck range?
Exhaust?
Springs?
My car is a lease, so i would like to do something that is somewhat easily removed(dont tell me how stupid modding a lease car is).
any ideas?
thanks

the M steering wheel is leather, i thought you guys knew how i felt about unncessisarily stealing the skin of cute little animals.
The rear spoiler isnt a bad idea, even though i would 100% have to give it away with my car when the lease is up and lose the fully 100% of the money it cost me, which im not totally against, and i dont LOVE the blacklines.
is it silly to do some sort of aftermarket shift knob if i have an automatic?
Do you guys have pictures of the blacklines on sparkling graphite? and is there a dedicated spoiler picture thread?
thanks so much for your opinions you two.

Well, last time I checked, cows are niether cute or little. But they taste great. And since they put them in my hamburgers and hot dogs, why not use their skin too?

timzerofive · 02-15-2006, 06:25 PM

Isn't our steering wheels all leather wrapped anyways?

cdheaven · 02-15-2006, 06:29 PM

actually time, you might be right. i think i remember reading that after my salesperson told me other wise, and after i ordered the car.
But i dont need two leather steering wheels. haha
So far on ebay i found a carbon fiber rear spoiler. being sold by some bmw dealership, so is that OEM?
A regular spoiler
blacklines
and some Viniati Eyelids.. does anyone know anything about that company?

cdheaven · 02-15-2006, 06:46 PM

whats a good price on the exhaust tips and the blacklines, and a spoiler, painted and unpainted.. thanks again

timzerofive · 02-15-2006, 07:06 PM

Ya, since you already killed the animal and used its skin on your CURRENT steel wheel, you might as well honor it by using the rest of its skin instead of letting them throw it away and waste it.

No offence, but you have to be a complete idiot to put a sticker on a $40,000 vehicle. Maybe your refridgerator, but not a BMW. If I ever caught someone putting a sticker on my car, they would wish they never woke up that morning.

petesamprs · 02-15-2006, 09:31 PM

I believe it's one of those non-sticky stickers that adheres to glass, and it doesn't go on your bumber, but rather on the inside of a back window.

Doesn't look tacky at all.

I have a 330i nonsport. How much are the springs for it ?? will this make my car handle like a 330i sport??

gonna take more than springs to give you the handeling

itznin · 02-16-2006, 10:23 AM

Blacklines, easy to install and easy to take out when you give the lease back.

They will also hold their value for selling when you take them out, and they look sick!

cdheaven · 02-16-2006, 11:44 AM

im really considering the blacklines.. whats a "good" price" so that i can start bargain hunting?
also, the chrome exhaust tips seems very cheap and easy, so i miight as weel do that, whats a good price on that?
thanks again!

itznin · 02-16-2006, 12:00 PM

I paid $249 for blacklines from Pacific, you can def do better if you have patience as they are becoming more and more available.

Circle BMW was selling for $211, but they aren't in stock.
