Added a few mods this weekend:
Euro clears from Justin at
Rover Active, AFE CAI, driver's side keyhole cover from
ModBargains, and
PIAA angel eye bulb upgrade.
I had a very good experience ordering from Justin at Rover Active, and it only took approximately 2½ weeks for me to receive my Euro clear headlights.
At the suggestion of the experts at MODweekend, I ordered a set of Clear Urethane Headlight Shields from
Bavarian Autosport to protect my new headlights, and they're on the way.
I mistakenly ordered Stealth Bulbs with the flat socket (#3457) from Jude at
BimmerFreak for the turn signal/parking light; however, what I did not realize is that, unlike US headlights, Euro headlights use round sockets, similar to the tail lights. wuzin was kind enough to provide me with the correct bulb number (#7505), so, I'm on it. Thanks, wuzin.
I've ordered Stealth Bulbs from Jude at BimmerFreak in the past, and his service continues to be excellent.
While I find that the PIAA's are not as bright in the daylight as the OEM angel eyes, I do think that they match the stock xenons quite nicely, albeit with a slightly bluish tint (which is barely noticeable when the xenons are on). I do like the look, and I plan to try them out for a while.
Major props and big thanks to my friends at
MODweekend for doing all the installs in an expert, highly skilled, and professional manner.
Oh, yeah: I also did an exterior "quick detail" today:
Z7 wash
Z2Pro (with Zfx) on, Z2Pro off
Z6 on, Z6 off
Repeat.
Z8 on, Z8 off
Dressed the tires with Z16, and the trim with Griot's Vinyl & Rubber Dressing, and finished with Invisible Glass on the windows. (I'll get to the engine bay, one of these days.
)
Decorative Front Skid Plate on order.
