Finally installed my suede B pillars. Now to finish the rest of them.

RealJ22 · 07-06-2023, 07:31 PM

Scored some UBER cheap carbon side skirts. They are not close to being in the right position, but I couldn’t pass it up.

RealJ22 · 08-02-2023, 06:58 PM

Finally put the side skirt extensions on.

These were some “universal” ones I got for an amazing steal locally.

That looks incredible. How much experience do you have wet sanding like that? And I'm assuming you're using a rotary.

My E93 335i paint is very good but even after using Meguiars Ultimate compound with an orange pad on my DA polisher, it still has some defects. I'm thinking of doing something more aggressive, but I have zero experience.

I have done quite a few full vehicles. I sanded by hand and then rotary. I still have to use the random orbit for some swirls.

This was the whole panel completed.

RealJ22 · 08-03-2023, 08:37 PM

Lunch today. I want to finish wet sanding the car, but it’s been so hot outside.

RealJ22 · 08-04-2023, 12:28 PM

Literally checked all of my tires before I left last night.

The opposite rear decided to go flat on me. I have to take it off now to see what happened. The tire also started bulging during the “limp” home.

RealJ22 · 08-07-2023, 12:02 PM

Got rid of the 1 series fitment apex, found some better ones.

RealJ22 · 08-10-2023, 06:08 PM

Next front is getting repaired. Ran out of ceramic coating so I cleaned and waxed.

RealJ22 · 08-11-2023, 10:54 PM

Had some time to update a few things I had sitting around.

Have a cover for my non - existent Sun roof
LED bulbs inside
Temu entry lights (old ones were horrid)
Yellow Angel eyes (did not turn out)
Started mocking up the shift boot I’ve had sitting around

RealJ22 · 08-13-2023, 03:38 PM

Wrapped center console. Finishing up the shift knob. Someone was nice enough to put their trailer hitch through my bumper. Also, think I figured out why my tire blew out….
