New to all this, Help a Brother out?

SaM335ic · 09-23-2013, 01:13 AM

Trying to get into modding cars and showing them, got no history in it at all. I'm a disabled vet trying to find something i can manage, sports are out the picture, don't really have the money to mod my car, barely had the money to even get the car. I got a jet Black 2010 BMW 335i Coupe. I live in the Skagit Valley and trying to make connections to help me start my build.

thank you for your service first off. second, beautiful pick up! third, take your time with the mods, staying active on the classifieds section will help you locate some of the best finds if you're patient. if you have any questions on mods you're looking into, just post up and we'd be happy to help!

SaM335ic · 09-23-2013, 05:44 PM

Thanks, yeah I'm looking at just starting small with replacing or fabricating the inside silver trim with carbon fiber then get a m aerodynamic package.

DC_Oldboy · 09-23-2013, 09:11 PM

Lol at all the upside down and side pics..

But nice car man. Congrats!

Where exactly in Skagit Valley do you live?

SaM335ic · 09-23-2013, 09:18 PM

congrats on the purchase and welcome! There are a lot of "affordable" mods that you could do! Seems like you have the right idea with the interior wrap, should be a fun weekend job! If you like the blacked out look (judging by your tinted taillights) you could also wrap the chrome window trim black and also your kidney grills (or you can just buy the matte or glossy black grills they run around $150 ish or so but you can get used ones for like $50-100).

SaM335ic · 09-23-2013, 10:54 PM

I got black kidney grills today. window trim is already black. IDK if going with carbon emblems would be over the top?

///3dkn · 09-23-2013, 11:29 PM

Congrats on the ride and welcome. OEM emblems FTW. Happy modding!!
