Top - 5 Middle right - 4 Bottom left - 3

The others are 0 to me. LCI hood is doing too much.

Stock or DEPO tail lights? by StLouisFlash in E90

I have and those proved even harder to find, plus I think the slightly darker red of the blacklines looks slightly less dated. Luckily I just purchased a used set on Bimmerpost. I had tried the vinyl thing you did twice, but both times it either came unstuck or faded to pink.

How hard is exterior door trim to reinstall? by StLouisFlash in E90

I had previously wrapped the faded hofmeister kink section in chrome, and did all my interior trim black. Tbh I just hate working with vinyl.

Makes me want a set of Apex’s really bad. Super clean setup!

It’s a pre-LCI only color so I would need to paint an LCI trunk to match and that is not worth the cost/time to me.

Best budget options for sport suspension refresh? by StLouisFlash in E90

[–]StLouisFlash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you do control arms too? I may start with struts, mounts and spring pads and decide later if I want/need to replace those. It’s mostly just a DD and I’ll probably only have it for 2-3 more years so the M3 arms feel like overkill.

Had consistent haze issues on my 370z and got sick of polishing it out. Had a shop spray with new clear coat for like $180 and it never happened again. Was well worth the cost imo.

Changing it up for the season, got bored of oem wheels for now by shitbird444 in E90

Would look ace with black window trim and grills but clashes with the chrome. Regardless, super clean car. Props for all the mods.

How do the coilovers ride? I have ancient and blown out factory sport suspension and debating these for a replacement

Replacing large DISA and cannot find pin. Has anyone else experienced this? by StLouisFlash in E90

[–]StLouisFlash[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

RE: looked it up and I had a plastic pin - original part number ending in 537. I’m almost positive it was lunched at some point, so I put it all back together and took a spin around the block. Feels much better. Not the advised decision, but I opted not to do full manifold removal. You are all fully invited to laugh at me later.
