i live right by Copley and Christian Science. I'm getting the hell out before my streets close up. Will prob just chill at the shop all day.

I really appreciate all the financial advice and expert opinions on used wheel values I'm getting as a result of my for sale thread. People understand that when a corporation offers free shipping, you're still paying for it, right?

I am around ... I went to Thai Sweet Basil last night in Andover...it's been so long, Chiang Mai noodles was ON POINT!

[SLOWER]

Sold my Apex wheels. So happy. Shipped them out today.

That ride was a good time. I would definitely do it again. Funny to see people's reactions when 15 sets of angel eyes roll by in a group.

[WordOnRoad]

I heard "car gang" was thrown around.

[SLOWER]

We haven't had the initiation yet, but...

Headlights were finally put on. Now I have to deal with a slight condensation, thinking it might be due to moisture getting in when we swapped over all the modules last night from my original set. Will find out when the rain stops and I heat it up and let it bake in the sun. Other than that BavGruppe was great, responded immediately and shipped me a breathing membrane to install at the top and bottom to improve the ventilation to prevent more condensation if it actually is a sealing issue.

It is condensation and not water droplets. So not too worried, also only day 1 and it rained so there def. is a huge change is humidity.

Nice! Looking good!

I'm looking at them to do mine...they also sell a DIY kit.


Any pics from the ride?

I wasn't sure of them at first of the newer DTM style halos but they look amazing. The black out itself made a huge difference.

Yes they do! I was however lucky enough to find a cheap set to send to be done without taking them off the car, planning to sell them and recoup a good chunck of the cost. The BMW headlights use permaseal as glue to seal the headlights which dries instantly. The fear of a poor seal is actually not as bad as it seem. Tommy who owns BavGruppe explained it to me. The headlights are slightly vented anyways, which is why I plan to drill a 1/8 hole and add the breathing membrane to allow more ventilation. Tommy's work is great but you save a ton doing it yourself.

No pics from the ride yet, finish mad late and just wanted to go home last night. There is a huge difference though because I took the opportunity to upgrade the d1s bulbs to CBIs and also upgrade to some clear lenses. At first it looked really weird cause I wasn't use to the amount of light I could see which made me feel like it was off. I pulled up next to 4 different cars at 3am and compared the distance of my beam to there and it was crazy how much more I had.

Link to the light bulbs you bought?

Did you change your turn signal to led?

Did you code anything yet?

Message them during checkout and ask if they have any sales coming up they will provide you with a 10% off coupon. Or wait until July 4th where they have their annual 20% off everything sale.

I am LCI I believe my turn signals are already LED. Could be wrong, if so I didn't touch them.

No coding was needed for the new halos, the bulbs or the demon eyes. No errors yet either already drove about 100 miles.

Glad to hear you like those. Those is the same ones I was considering.

anyone have experience with this? I want something to dry my car without having to towel dry it, in the past I've thought of just using a leaf blower

http://www.amazon.com/Metropolitan-V...=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Also, I've learned searching for car cleaning materials at work can possibly quickly get NSFW...ex) searching for microfiber towels "supreme guzzler" and searching for a good vacuum/blow dryer for my car "metro vac n blo"

I don't see why a backpack leaf blower would not be fine. The air is filtered. That is what they do at car washes just bigger blowers.

If you have to do leaf clean up a back pack blower is a god send. Also great for spring and call cleanups, blowing out garages(I do this yearly and it makes a HUGE difference f cement dust) or drive ways, etc. All the contractors use: RedMax EBZ7500RH model that I know of. Expensive but should last a lifetime of home owner use. I would buy one but my neighbor has one and lets me borrow it.

Some of the larger shop VACs you can switch from suck to blow. You will want to use one with a dry filter. So if you need or have a shop vac this might work for you. I would make sure it is very clean inside depending on what you normally use it for.

You're synonymous with a large shop vac

Jordan, check out www.theragcompany.com as another option

I use their eagle edgeless blue micro fibers to dry my car. Usually three to four to fully dry it.

You can just pay someone to dry your car. It's the easiest option by far.
