Painted my passenger side twisty side skirt. Now both sides of my car look tits!
Put the style 5 wheels back on so the Racing Dynamics can go on the 330cic.
Almost pulled the trigger on a set of style 19's this afternoon. __________________

Finally got rid of the rusty old muffler. Bought a nice stainless deal off of ebay and the thing has a really nice "throaty" sound. Dual tips so I had to cut the bumper a bit....

Picked up and installed a pair of sand beige Vaders!!!! Don't know what to do with the rear seats. I think I've read that they won't fit my ti.   I've got to do some work on the drivers seat but the passenger and rear seats looks damn good. I think I got a good deal on the front and rears for $300. The second best part of the deal was meeting the seller in PA and finding out he was a racer and driving instructor. The shop where I picked up the seats builds, services and races all sorts of cars, but primarily BMWs. While I was there I got to see a mint black M5 from the 90's, a Shelby cobra, a gull wing mercedes, Turbo Porsche Carrera, a race prepped E30 and a few vintage BMW motorcycles among others. The seller even helped me install the seats when I realized that his Vaders where power and mine obviously where manual. He used the wiring for the heating and now my power vaders are activated by turning on the heat switch! I spent a great Sunday afternoon hanging with these dudes and talking cars. It made the drive down from NYC worth every penny in tolls and gas. The Vaders are WAY MORE comfortable and supportive than my stock seats. I'm really glad I did this. What a difference! Now I'm wondering if it is worth stripping the leather off the M3 rears and having a shop redo my stock seats so that everything matches up????
