made some changes

[tiFreak]

recently my dad picked up a set of 205/55R16 Continental tires, which means I now have tires to run my contours on, so today I went ahead and painted the contours, they came out pretty good after being washed with an acidic wheel cleaner and two coats of primer

good view of two of the rims and my duct taped shoes, lol, I'm so classy :biggrin:

now, while I had the primer out, I figured I would do one more mod, if you're standing up, you may want to sit down for this...












I'll give you some time to get ready...

THE MESH IS OUT!!!!!!!!

I blacked out my grills and finally used the Cosmo Racing badge that's been in my center console since I installed the intake, the only mesh is in the seemingly empty foglight hole spray painted black since my air filter sits right behind it and I want it to get air (don't tell me it doesn't make a difference :mad:)

[angel318ti]

get rid of the badge!!! pronto!!!

[tiFreak]

ok, I'll stick the mesh back in then :tongue:

[angel318ti]

its not a discussion get rid of i now!!!!!



I gotta say It does look way better but still room for improvement.

[elchicano]

:yikes::rockon::joy:

Good job on getting the mesh out. But take the other fog light delete plate so it will match or paint it black.

[tiFreak]

meh... I'm getting my body kit installed on the 18th, I just wanted to see how it would look, I can live with it until then

[ATF]

Cosmo Racing Badge > Mesh. Amen.

[cooljess76]

Lookin better Brendan. The badge definitely doesn't belong, but it's your car and it's better than the mesh. Perhaps it would look nice somewhere in the engine bay or on the actual CAI?

Next mod: "Street Glow" banner delete:tongue:

[Philly]

thank you... thank you... thank you... thank you... thank you... thank you... thank you... thank you... thank you... thank you... thank you... thank you... thank you... thank you... thank you... thank you... thank you... thank you... thank you... thank you... thank you... thank you... thank you... thank you... thank you... :D

badge = ftl... big FTMFL - slightly more so the "R" ... thats turbo ghey.

Glad to see that mesh go though, that was embarassing... lol

Now Ill have to start getting on your case about red accents on cordobarot :tongue:

[tiFreak]

I was thinking of putting the badge on my hatch, but I saw the ACS, BMWCCA and other badges in the grill and I liked the way it looked, since I'm not a BMWCCA member and I don't have any ACS parts, I figured that was a good compromise

[tiFreak]

lol, you're welcome Philly ;)

[lazoh]

I like the change but I strongle suggest that the next mod be your left shoe to match your right shoe! :)

[Philly]

well i got those badges with my intake, i bet they fall off soon anyways ;) lol

it really does look tenfolds better though Pauly... once you get those contours on (and hopefully lose some stickers and red accents) - your car should look pretty awesome!

[Will'sBimmer]

so much better. the best mod yet.

[cooljess76]

Definitely keep up the good work buddy. It won't be long before your car is in tip top shape and envied by other forum members if you continue to take care of it and fix it up little by little. I understand that there's starving students out there and not everyone can afford to drop the money that some of us have to make their cars look and perform like no other. If you follow mine and Bluebimma's threads, you'll see that it's possible to have a cleanly modded car at minimal costs. I've came across some outstanding deals and passed a few of them up, but most of the parts and mods on my car have been paid for by selling the original parts. I've actually spent very little getting my car in the shape that it's in, you just have to be patient and refrain from spending money on unnecessary and distasteful mods. If you only do the cheap stuff, your car will look cheap. Sometimes simplicity is a cleaner route to go.

[StealthBimmer]

pauly is making good stride in cleaning up and modding his ti. Must give him some props for that. Now if I can only drive up to VT at night and do some midnight stickers delete then his bimmer would be even better looking. ;) Let's see how it goes after the body kit installation.

[thesk8nmidget]

nice pauly! and that badge is much better than the mesh so i dont mind!

when are you getting the wheels mounted and balanced?

[thesk8nmidget]

looks good you need some springs though!

[tiFreak]

lol, I just noticed how noticeable the external temp probe is hanging down below my bumper :biggrin: I need to zip-tie it to something, Josh, why don't you ask your brother to explain how he cut his springs :tongue:

[thesk8nmidget]

its not a hard you simply.... nevermind!

its super hard and not worth the time...





good save josh

[TECH TI]

I like the wheels cause they match the trim. Good choice! Now you just need some Back to Black for the side skirts or something and it'll look real good

[tiFreak]

I'm actually getting a bodykit so it will cover the sideskirts up anyways, I was thinking of painting my trim but I like my rims matching so I'll just get the m-tech trim and leave it all black

Does the M-Tech trim fit on our cars(95' Actives)?? The M-Tech trim looks thicker or something in photographs. I'd like to get it too some day if it'll fit.

[tiFreak]

it fits, it overhangs the groove made for the regular rubstrip, it matches up with the moldings on the bumpers too

Congratulations on getting rid of the mesh grill! The mesh goes well with American cars like the Caddy V-series cars IMHO. Your tastes are maturing! Buddha bless you!
