Surprisingly, the rubber DIY lip takes paint well. Tip: if you install a rubber lip, paint it after, not before installation. | | | 05-13-2013, 02:44 PM | #2957 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2013 Location: New York Posts: 133 | Lip Quote: Originally Posted by jca Prepped and primed my lower front bumper including my, "garage door" lower lip for re-spraying (Moreagrun).

I have the same color ti and I'll be painted my "ebay" bumper spoiler soon. It would be great to see your results before I do. This weekend I mounted my "M-tech" body moulding and although I really like the upgrade, some of the moulding doesn't lay as flat as I'd like. Gonna have to keep at it until all the pieces are perfectly flat. Will post pics soon. This coming Saturday I will be picking up my Contours!!!!

I've taken my whole headliner+cardboard part out before and resprayed it back on. That worked and lasted for awhile considering I used the original liner. Still looks alright but it has recently been crippling where the oh **** bars under. But on the main sections it's solid. | | | 05-13-2013, 05:32 PM | #2960 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | Quote: Originally Posted by geetarspaz I used to do that until people would complain that there are staples in their asses.

I was worried that I hit the roof with a couple staples. I heard metal. No signs of damage. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 05-13-2013, 07:57 PM | #2961 | Junior Member Join Date: Apr 2013 Location: Mexico city Posts: 22 | put the CCFL angel eyes and the oem Foglights | | | 05-14-2013, 04:08 AM | #2962 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2010 Location: Roanoke, VA Posts: 472 | Quote: Originally Posted by 1996 328ti Stapled my headliner back into place. | Stick pins worked for me lol | | | 05-15-2013, 06:02 AM | #2963 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: SF bay Posts: 183 | had an inspection done to the car... found out that it was in a -front end collision that thrashed most of the front, but the luckily the frame rails are straight. -Impact look like it was above the bumper. -found out there is a short shift installed...backwards. -its had a front suspension refresh, installed wrong. -wickedly lose exhaust system. -No LSD | | | 05-15-2013, 08:41 PM | #2964 | Member Join Date: Apr 2013 Location: Pittsburgh, Pa Posts: 37 | Replaced the hood supports.

Painted it satin black before the install. Makes a noticeable improvement in the steering response. | | | 05-17-2013, 07:27 AM | #2970 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2011 Location: Florida Posts: 404 | Quote: Originally Posted by jca Installed a sparco front strut available from ogracing.com for $120 shipped.
