bought some trim clips and wheel wax.

325inthe510 · 06-13-2012, 02:31 PM

Is that a style 44 on the lid?

VALMONT · 06-13-2012, 02:32 PM

yes, it is. i think they know something!

i thought maybe its because i bought it at the stealership, but i was wrong.

I don't like blacking out everything as well, but my exhaust tips are greyed out

because of years of grime and no polish. I want the exhaust tips to look clean, doesn't matter if its blacked out or chromed.

I am still living in a fishbowl and haven't decromed my window trim yet. So, no blacking out. Only thing that I blackened is the grill. Getting the windows tinted soon. And no black wheels for me, ever.

I too am living in a fishbowl, lol. I have another set of interior panels/sport seats done up in tan/black that's not going in until the windows get tinted.

It's the same for me as well with the grille too... I blacked out the fins, but kept the outer pieces chrome. Waiting on some racemesh so I can do it right!

I use some 0000 steel wool on my tips at every wash, takes an extra 2 mins and they SHINE.

Crestwood1001 · 06-13-2012, 02:49 PM

Guys my oil was just changed and I am about to do a valve cover gasket job, is it obsoletely necessary to change it again?

gets expensive lol.

Crestwood1001 · 06-13-2012, 02:51 PM

Polished with 0000 steel wool at every wash, shiny

Ordered my Bilstein sport shocks & struts along with front and rear reinforcement plates are other associated hardware. I opted for Z3 M rear reinforcement plates. I also ordered an aluminum jack pad adapter.

Ordered my Meyle HD CAs, CABs RSMs and RTABs yesterday and purchased my springs about 2 weeks before.

Total parts for my suspension refresh: $ 1227.44

Looks nice, I shall try that.
Thanks

Crestwood1001 · 06-13-2012, 05:09 PM

Depending on how bad your tips are maybe start with 000 and then use 0000, works great for me

Cyanide72 · 06-13-2012, 05:54 PM

Complete suspension refresh with Monroe parts. Will have an alignment done tomorrow, the steering wheel looks funny when driving straight, lol.

Crestwood1001 · 06-13-2012, 07:14 PM
