The plan is to have a early 2000 Wrangler or Tacoma as a winter beater.

Checking in. Yeah, almost bought my buddies '05 C4S but after seeing the changes that were made, especially with the headlights, decided against it. It had 35,000 miles on it so not too bad. Really like the new ones.

Those boards are not as boring as you think. Pretty fun actually. Nobody could ever replace you guys though

He PMed me back saying I have to e-mail this one vendor who sources the LED rings, which cost $200. Then, you mail him your lights, and he turns them around in 10 days and charges $300 in labor.

Would be great if we could DIY this.

how about remus quads? someone is selling them on the classifieds for $600... thats a good deal.

Hmm, I think I may have to go get that lift kit after all, I kind of like the looks of Jay's car.

+1 that is exactly what I was thinking. I would buy it as a winter vehicle.

Kruz · 04-07-2009, 12:39 PM

Haha...I wish I could afford keeping the 335xi as a winter beater. Anyone know someone looking to adopt a 37 year old with 2 kids?

UdubBadger · 04-07-2009, 12:42 PM

I'm personally not a fan of the M3 front. With the lip it looks pretty good, but on its own it is a bit ugly. The new BMW Performance front looks similar to the M3 though so I would still check that out as well.
