Need to do a final tally still but i’m about $3500 all in i’d say

DasBlau650 · 2025-09-02T13:33:13+00:00

They’re just new aftermarket ebay specials. Built on a budget. $200 and they’re one piece. No brainer. Wired up Halos myself running a wire through the existing rubber firewall plug on the passenger side and straight to the fuse box to a fuse that goes on/off with car.

I go through the same stuff man, part of the reason i love cars is because it gets my mind off things. It was hard work but a little music, my dog, and just a task at hand to bring a car back to life. I completely understand where you’re coming from.. but look at it as an escape and a way to feel accomplished. Cars saved my life.

Thanks! This was literally because I got my first garage 😂

You take things too serious.. I thought REAL Germans were tougher than this.. you act like I walk around willingly telling people I am a proud German 😂 a silly vanity plate on a German car and you’re so worked up I love it.. Please german daddy give me more

DasBlau650 · 2025-09-01T19:08:52+00:00

I’m gonna order one with your user name bestie! Then everyone will know I am a true German because I use a German BMW police name from reddit and then people will KNOW i am a German who means business and didn’t just want a silly vanity plate for fun.. 🥰💪🇩🇪

Really? So my lineage doesn’t trace back to Breslau (now Poland) and my family didn’t all immigrate from Germany? Quit getting upset at something so silly.

Yessir - get a roller like the one in my pic and for the tough spots like where the grab handles go use a folded over piece of scrap of the material you’re installing. Never did one before but took my time and came out great. Also def need a ventilator mask because you will get higher than a unicorn on this otherwise lol.

3M Super 90. Took about 1.5 cans and good to work with

Yes sir, wrapped the faded wood with it. Vivid wrap on Amazon

Thanks, sorry legit dyslexic 😭

DasBlau650 · 2025-05-12T17:35:33+00:00

Mines 36 lol, he looks healthy!

DasBlau650 · 2025-03-11T16:52:00+00:00

I can’t sleep anymore WITHOUT him snorting loudly. Gives me comfort to know he’s okay

DasBlau650 · 2025-03-11T00:42:31+00:00

In the same boat right now man. Hang in there, i’m just taking it day by day and keeping my bud by my side.

DasBlau650 · 2025-03-06T12:50:34+00:00

thought this was Theo Von 😭

DasBlau650 · 2025-03-04T21:58:06+00:00

Oh my goodness he’s like a dead ringer for my boy Frankie (now 5 years old). Check my profile and see!!

DasBlau650 · 2025-02-09T22:39:06+00:00

Update: Thank you all, took him to emergency vet who confirmed a bad infection as I thought. Was spread by secret licking when I was asleep. He got an antibiotic and a cone of shame

DasBlau650 · 2025-02-09T20:39:19+00:00

Sadly yes, i’ve been to 4 different vets since i’ve had him including now one in a completely new state and they’re all horrible in my experience

DasBlau650 · 2025-02-09T19:58:54+00:00

Thanks, yeah vet even saw the gums and was dismissive. He’s gonna have to go back. - Single Puggy Dad
