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




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



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



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

Looking good man, keep it up!

I'm just not sold on the black roof/white roof spoiler, I probably would have done that in black as well.

Car looks good, I have the same spoiler and that's the main thing holding me back from doing my roof black. Have you considered wrapping the spoiler?
