love the setup! ur car looks like a mini-suv when it's jacked up.

330i ZHP · 11-19-2007, 10:09 PM

they are 19"

Boosted_ZHP · 11-20-2007, 09:54 AM

Damn that car looks sick. Get rid of that wood trim and you are set.

Once you slam it, get a bike rack for the roof. That would complete it.

330i ZHP · 11-20-2007, 10:02 AM

I am going to try to cover it in fake alcantara

Miko_10 · 11-20-2007, 10:35 AM

At first I was gonna say you need help for your modding addiction for modding a wagon but after going through the first couple pages of this thread I must say that wagon is looking good.

330i ZHP · 11-20-2007, 02:05 PM

no more wood trim in the wagon - all done in fake alcantara now

simsima325 · 11-20-2007, 03:04 PM

"Faux" - Faux alcantra... it just sounds better.

330i ZHP · 11-20-2007, 10:01 PM

moisture in the air came on about an hour ago and that and paint dont mix well - the trim around the windows on the drivers side is screwed up now - I will have to sand out the fisheyes and start over.

oh well, at least the trim inside turned out well

budman · 11-20-2007, 10:02 PM

Fail.. where are the pics

jllphan · 11-20-2007, 11:25 PM

sapphire FTMFW, looks great

AlpineCI · 11-20-2007, 11:54 PM

dude those rims definitely make that car...nice choice

keep it up

simsima325 · 11-21-2007, 12:36 AM

werd, show us the interior!

330i ZHP · 11-21-2007, 06:08 AM

as you can see - i am having wheat thins, hotdogs and diet pepsi for lunch today - and need to buy a new gear shift selector

Drivers door

Light control module

Rear passenger door - sorry the pics are blurry - crappy P&S camera used this time

Front passenger door - and no, the door handle is not blue - flash or something

Dash and radio

330i ZHP · 11-21-2007, 06:14 AM

on the dash piece pics that white line is a DAMN cat hair - i swear that sh1t shows up everywhere...

And even though the pads have enough material on them to pass a MD inspection...its not enough for BMW wear sensors. So Bubba ordered some Akebono (supposed to be a lot less dust but have better stopping power than the Axxis pads)

330i ZHP · 11-21-2007, 06:19 AM

I think I might have to try wrapping the pillars next....and maybe go all out and do the headliner...of course I will need a good set of drugs first - since that is a ton of time involved in removing all that stuff

330i ZHP · 11-21-2007, 08:42 AM

I was able to clean all the crappy paint off the window trim - so at least no harm..just some really dirty (from paint) fingers

BimmerDawg · 11-21-2007, 08:55 AM

I <3 wagons.

jwm5 · 11-21-2007, 10:15 AM

Nice job wrapping the trim, all black trim is not my taste, but looks clean and well done. How thick was the fabric? Was it hard to get the edges smoothed out and clean?

Keep it up and keep posting pics...
