Let us know how the car turned out when you get it back


The ECS one. It's very strong. I'd say the strongest one compared to the aftermarket ones. Does the job for parking jobs like that

I know man it's insane. Just make sure you get the one that will work with your bumper.

On the street I run two different bumper protectors. One for when it's not raining and one for when it is

rain:

no rain:

I cut a little slit in the front ones so they rest on the tow hook and for the more expensive one put the two top flaps under the hood

why did you get the more expensive one specifically for when it doesnt rain?

wouldnt the one in the rain work in no rain as well?

The thicker one is made of a fabric material so when it rains it would get completely soaked including the foam inside. The thinner one is good for when it rains since it's made of a high density foam that does not absorb water. The thicker one takes impacts a lot better

Haha thanks! Also did the trunk lip, m3 steering wheel and carbon vinyl wrap on the interior trim. The last things I have to do is maybe get the android based screen to replace the small 6.6" screen and then some small maintenance.

I will never get a drop anywhere in the northeast. Roads are trash and I'm already scraping with the lip as is.

The both is in Philly where I live, sorry man. But for NYC they shut down the self wash booths due to the temps but when it's warmer I either go to the BP on Van Damn right by you ($5 token for 8 min or so) and if not the BP on Metropolitan and Vandervoort(?)

For winter washes I use a foam sprayer on half of the car, a ton of microfiber rags and a garden sprayer with warm water.

i want to add a trunk lip, but im trying to stay away from all cosmetic upgrades as ppl will steal it. lol (MINUS the LCI tailights but i cant find anything for the f36 =( )

i finally ordered the FBO(cp, dp, intake, fmic, bm3), waiting to recieve and install all the parts.....very excited!

also i frequent philly often too, my family is out there so i visit often. love the drive out there. roads are SO much better!

edit: you mentioned you live in philly, why are u paying nyc insurance!!!, NOT to mention philly only requires rear plates!
