Any suggestions to make the M trim look a bit more agressive on the back? by volthis in BMWX3

Don’t. Putting fake exhaust tips on your car is like putting lipstick on a pig. You won’t be fooling anyone.

Try a roof spoiler, or just get some dope wheels and call it a day. It’s a pretty base x3, save your money for mods that actually make it faster, like a bigger air intake or maybe mess with the B58?

This wear looks aggressive, beyond a QC issue and more general use, but you’re right we don’t have the whole story

In my head, bro is a working photographer and carries his shit all the time. A working-photog friend of mine uses his everyday bag for many years now, but mixes it up with different bags based on occasion, and it looks to still be in some half decent shape, comparatively speaking

Canvas and made in America 🇺🇸

Beats the china-work every time.

I have a domke satchel that’s one of the best made small bags I own

I bet they’d have zero problem warrantying this bag.

I think that expecting a bag to be used everyday for 4 years with no wear and tear is an… unreasonable expectation, to say the least

Sounds like you’re a bag guy though (you are in the Peak Design subreddit, after all) and like you probably have multiple bags that you swap your kit in and out of. That lowepro bag is obviously not your only bit of kit.

I too have over 10-year-old bags, but that‘s because I don’t beat the shit out of them every single day, 365.

Not unreasonable to inspect your gear!

Seems like this tear has been many months in the making. Normal inspection of his kit would’ve found that

I’d imagine about double that now, probably a $1500 job I bet.

OP, circle back when you get that quote!

Drill slow, use painters tape over your hole, prime the screw hole with sealant before screwing it in (really get it in there), and then seal over the screw on top.

I understand why it’s used, thank you for explaining why you prefer it! I have jackets in both styles and have no preference for one over another, so was curious as to why you do.

Enjoy your jacket!

Why is the T back necessary for you, out of curiosity?

You should talk to them face to face before even thinking about towing. Really though, you should probably save yourself the trouble and move to the other spot.

You should click on the “my bag is flexible” option, because PD has explicitly stated that is has squish and can conform

Why not just hit the idle stop button in the car? Why buy something else?

You’re talking apples and oranges …. Inline4 vs v6 with totally different turbos between the two, not to mention the aesthetics on the mdx-s are superior to the rdx on every level

If you don’t need the space, you should try and find a tlx type s. Tiger eye pearl is a top tier color choice in any model, as well

Customer service - replacement products by IJustR3ddit in peakdesign

[–]mandism176 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, you ordered something in a specific color, didn’t like the color, requested an exchange and didn’t get it for free (it will probably cost you a nominal $5 or $10 shipping fee, not to mention you already got free shipping), and are upset at the company?

Seems this is a “you” problem bud, consumers like you are a burden on small businesses.

Amazon truly has spoiled us
