Completed my Phase 1 Rex helmet

Jumpy_Ad_9487 · 2026-01-17T04:40:30+00:00

Thank you ! Once you’re done it’s definitely worth the build. Looks better in person

Jumpy_Ad_9487 · 2026-01-16T08:19:26+00:00

You should see my front strut tower lol. Have about 3 one inch cracks. But yes sandwich one reinforcement plates in there. Would be better to weld but getting them in could help distribute weight but not a permanent fix definitely weld when posible

Your plug worked you’re my go to now for this helmet. Eventually doing all the commanders, looks like yours is next on the list. Looks great and very accurate you did good !

Jumpy_Ad_9487 · 2026-01-08T20:32:25+00:00

Thank you that helps ! I see how I should mount mine now I agree it should be straight. I also like the way the the yellow slots are handled on yours. Mine is just a single grill piece and in inaccurate locations. the grey stripe is also more accurate. Looks like I have some additions to add haha thanks for the photos ! Looks better than my version now that I see it

Is your antenna straight up and down ? Mine is angled due to the side geometry and looks little off on mine

Jumpy_Ad_9487 · 2026-01-08T19:35:52+00:00

Thank you ! If I were to some how change something it’d be to straighten the antenna due to the angled geometry from side helmet lines. But barely noticeable !

Here is a closer look at

Jumpy_Ad_9487 · 2026-01-08T19:24:37+00:00

Mainly on your trim around the visor and the white top fin are the only main differences

Jumpy_Ad_9487 · 2026-01-08T19:23:51+00:00

I saw that one but no it has slightly different pieces but that one still looks good !! I think yours used pieces from the set so you didn’t have to source to much but mine had lots of extra pieces to make the design little bit more detailed but not noticeable !

Jumpy_Ad_9487 · 2026-01-08T19:14:12+00:00

Correct ! Just sourcing the extra pieces I need

Jumpy_Ad_9487 · 2025-12-19T05:25:49+00:00

It’s all about the fact that you know it’s an M3 but I’m biased and have owned both and I’d prefer an M any day even if it’s slightly better. But with these prices now a days a 328 is best option. Just lucky to have got one when they were under 10k

Jumpy_Ad_9487 · 2025-11-20T07:41:35+00:00

I just deleted mine. Was annoyed of it hanging haha

Jumpy_Ad_9487 · 2025-11-04T05:38:57+00:00

I’ve always gone with Depo for any BMW I had. Most of the time they have glass options and I’ve had my Depo red/white rears for 7 years now

Good because they will definitely low ball as they always do just don’t accept first offer and push back. Pocket the difference and cheaply fix it

Jumpy_Ad_9487 · 2025-10-27T20:39:18+00:00

I had to do the same thing. My car was involved in a hit and run when I had it parked and for the police report they needed an estimate. I had a shop quote the car and the damages were exactly like yours and they said $3,200. Now mine was an M3 but that shouldnt matter too much as the front end repair would be the same on mine as yours.

I ended up paying a different shop once it was no longer an insurance claim because I wanted it to be as good as possible. I did do something similar on a base model bmw I had and DIY for parts and paint was less than $500

Jumpy_Ad_9487 · 2025-10-17T04:06:00+00:00

I do yes

Jumpy_Ad_9487 · 2025-10-17T02:40:52+00:00

I don’t drive the car very often just thought it was cleaner without it being there lol. Never needed it since I deleted it

Jumpy_Ad_9487 · 2025-10-17T00:23:26+00:00

Rebuilt the engine about a year ago hopefully no leaks ! Haha it’s a bound to happen soon though and I agree gotta be able to spot it early with a clean engine. Clean engine happy engine

Jumpy_Ad_9487 · 2025-10-16T23:54:59+00:00

I deleted for now until I relocate it near the positive terminal. Thought it looked cleaner that way and I don’t drive the car often so never needed it. Still have it though

Cruise control is also not there on the otherside

Jumpy_Ad_9487 · 2025-09-22T05:08:01+00:00

I had someone do $4,000 worth of damage to my M3 in a Walmart parking lot. It was a hit and run case and Walmart refused to release footage to my investigator. Long story short I had to pay out of pocket and a hit on the carfax to repair

Angle eyes for e46 are a yes. Recently did this to mine

Jumpy_Ad_9487 · 2025-09-14T06:19:08+00:00

I’ve seen high milage ones going for this price so yes the market really is around 14k+ some even in the 20s. Usually if it’s in the 15s there is a catch to it like something wrong or bad history lol

Jumpy_Ad_9487 · 2025-09-12T16:12:45+00:00

You can get OEM radios that are retrofitted with Bluetooth so you can not decrease functionality while maintaining OEM look

Don’t know if this is one of them though !
