you8myrice's progress thread
Hey guys, I figured I'd do a progress thread so here it is!
Sorry if pictures are different sizes/quality, most of these are snapped from a 4S or S3
I bought the car back in Oct '11 with only 55k (33k miles), as of today she sits at 91k (56.5k miles)
When I first got her

I was extremely happy and excited for the purchase and had no plans of modding her until i met Acurazine... love/hate relationship lol.
Found out about plastidip and loved it!!

After that I added LED bulbs to everything that I could and added window visors/roof spoiler from bmwshop

Aspec kit was next!

My car was left outside my garage one night and got keyed fairly badly

![](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y167/you8my_rice/IMG_7968-1.jpg)
Luckily insurance covered it and i got a fresh paint job and I also added the aspec kit sometime before the key incident as well.

Next time was just bad luck where my window smashed as i was driving.
The tint held it together so it was messy and saved me alot of trouble
![](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y167/you8my_rice/20121217_222032_zps8fbee6e6.jpg)
Got the rear shield replaced and retinted, also got my signal mirrors tinted while i was there.

It was left at that stage for a few months cause of winter but recently i decided to do a mod that i've been wanting to do since the start! After a bit of thinking, i decided to keep the antenna and roof spoiler white.

Also added 6k fogs
![](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y167/you8my_rice/20130704_170709.jpg)
Future mod plans are:
-Drop/Rims
-Exhaust
-New Rotors/brake pads are on the way
I'll add more pictures as they come and hopefully some high quality pics too soon
