Looks good Z, I need to do that as well. Do you have enough left over 3M 1080 Matte Black by any chance?

I don't. And I have the peeling door handle situation as well. I actually bought a 1x1' of 3M 1080 Matte Black for $6.99 on Amazon. Worked perfectly, and I have some scrap, but not enough for another wheel.

Might do the inner side of the passenger grab handle...

E90 white front bumper was half ripped off by a tree stump. I told her not to park there but what do I know. It buckeled as it went over and reverse ripped 1/2 the bumper off.

So, I need a new bumper, fender liner and bottom liner. My body shop guy is going to look at it and quote me today but I was wondering if there are any cheap alternatives like buying an OEM prepainted bumper online or something like that?

I'm torn to just rig it up and replace it in the spring as winter is fender bender season...

I feel like someone bought the M3 rep online with good success. Thread might be in the Ext/Interior subforum.

Upcoming Sunday?

Torgus · 10-29-2014, 12:29 PM

in other news 4 new winter tires for the maxima, a new stock exhaust, and an alignment. I should be installing 4 new struts but i'm lazy. It better pass inspection on Saturday with the other cars.

Dumping money on winter beaters is no bueno. Especially one that is an auto with no heated seats and NA.

SLOWER · 11-01-2014, 09:30 PM

Never again. Never again will I own a black car.

I always say that, but it is rewarding when it's clean. Hadley and I use the new Sonax Polymer Net Shield. Works wonders as a hydrophobic sealant.

I used Chemical Guys 3x Carnauba Wax then the Sonax. Car is as clean as it was last weekend.

Can we not talk about it?

Going home last week two days were perfect no traffic and got home 30m. Other two days were horrible and it took over an hour. What I don't get on the bad days is there are no accidents etc. to slow traffic down yet it is all red on google maps.

Wow now that sucks.

Torgus · 11-03-2014, 04:50 PM

So the winter beater(maxima) had a new rad put in because the old one was cracked and it would overeheat. So I drive it for the second time since the rad was replaced a month ago and BOOM needle is pinned out on H for the coolant. Supposedly a metal coolant pipe rusted through and was weaping coolant...this thing is turning into a money pit.

Which fender liner and which bottom liner do you need? i have an extra new fender liner passenger side, cheap! maybe free. Might also have an extra front lip bottom liner (won't know 'til i put it all together the next warm day)
