Maybe he should ask Jlevi exactly what brand they are, I don't think they sold "Umnitza" brand lights but maybe he is just using it as a generic term like "rollerblades" or something.

Either way baking isn't too hard. Like I said, just tell him if he can get all the screws out that hold them together, baking them at 200 deg or whatever for like 20 min is fine and they should come apart no problem... I just couldn't get all the screws needed to open them up for it in the set I had, which are NOT the same as his so hopefully he'll have better luck than I did.

Heard baking the BMW headlights was a major b*tch thought because of the glue that was used. Not the typical glue that you can bake and pop apart easily. Not sure though...

Seth, one more time, are you sure you are keeping your M6 reps?? Really looking to upgrade to some 19's. Tired of looking at the small ass 18's

Pretty sure he has mentioned this already, but yes he is keeping them, and they are getting painted this weekend (?) by Ben solid black.

Yep. Didn't come today so I am thinking early next week sometime.

Off topic question for you guys. What do the dealerships say when you bring your car in with a different intake? Was looking at the BMS Intake but not sure what they will say when they see this. Looking to spend a little money just not sure what route to go. Still trying to figure all this crap out. Since I am leasing the car, I don't want to go with anything too crazy. Any thoughts on what to do? Really want to upgrade to 19's but not willing to spend that much money.

BMS looks like dog shit.

That being said, I can't constructively contribute to your question.

CubanJJ09 · 03-06-2009, 05:49 PM

pretty sure they don't mind unless the problem with your car is traced back to the intake

Sounds good. Not sure what I am going to do. Just throwing some things out there. Would rather get the wheels...maybe I will just wait.

J BONE · 03-06-2009, 05:54 PM

What do you guys think about running 235/35/19 all around? I have 225's right now and to be honest, I hate the look. Made a mistake buying my M6 reps because they are 18X8. They don't make staggered 18's, at least they didn't when I bought mine.

Really like the staggered look.

CubanJJ09 · 03-06-2009, 06:01 PM

I'd keep the stock setup 235 will make your stance in the rear look weak. I'd worry about traction too in "spirited driving"
