My new 428i GC!

lp232 · 03-04-2015, 12:46 AM

So I've been following this forum for a while learning from everyone, looking at pics and getting details of what I want and I finally bought!

zamboni · 03-04-2015, 12:53 AM

Go test drive both cars and see if the review matches your expectation.

tboooe · 03-04-2015, 08:11 AM

Congrats! Now lets see some pics!

Not too many GCs in Socal.

Man that is a sexy lookin car.

lp232 · 03-04-2015, 11:21 AM

Thanks! I powder coated the wheels black, tinted the windows and changed to black lettering right after I bought it. Not to loud but tried to clean it simple and clean...just a little different.

mike@x-ph.com · 03-04-2015, 11:24 AM

Congrats, beautiful car

tboooe · 03-04-2015, 11:41 AM

Nice! I dig on the black badge. What tint % is that? Looks dark! 20%?

ezguyy · 03-04-2015, 11:46 AM

looks good!

lp232 · 03-04-2015, 11:48 AM

You guessed it correctly, didn't realize how dark it would be. I'm sure I'll be pulled over someday and will have to get it lighter. I drove past a cop just yesterday and rolled down my windows so he wouldn't see.

PennSt8 · 03-04-2015, 04:35 PM

Congrats...good choice if I might say so myself.

I'm in the same boat....I didn't realize how dark it would be until it was finished. Ahh well, it looks good.

macfife · 03-04-2015, 04:46 PM

Curious why you didnt get the GC? Was it due to price?

zamboni · 03-05-2015, 10:17 AM

Love the wheels & black badge.

lp232 · 03-05-2015, 10:49 AM

I considered putting overlays or changing the emblems to black/white but not sure of the quality. Has anyone had overlay stickers look new after a long period of time?
