Will try this tonight thanks.

Updated my MK4 nav to V32 and activated perspective map view after replacing the damaged LCD. Decided to go with an unmodded version of the firmware and was looking forward for a colored splash with the round BMW logo. But had to learn, that the splash remains unchanged :-(. Spill the boring white one.

Just purchased a Surco safari roof rack at 4 wheel online. Will be using it for the luggage during long trips. I'm planning to mount some aux lights on it also.

Heat works wonders for goo removal. Depending if there is enamel or bare metal use heat gun or lighter. Goo Gone or Goof Off work wonders on adhesive remnants

just bought TurtleWax headlight restoration kit at Target for 10 bucks, going to put it to good use tonight and get those puppies clear and shiny

also going to return 2 cans of gunmetal plastidip, for 1 matte black and 1 smoked can

going to see how smoking oem sidemarkers looks with the dip

^If you want them to be functional I wouldn't spray them with plasti dip lol

[Joshdub]

Yeah don't use plastidip on your side makers if you want them to work. VHT night shade is a common translucent spray paint used for smoking lights.

Hmm, I just bought a k&n filter for intake. But when I went to replace I realized there is a k&n already....
So the new one looks alot better and old should have been cleaned awhile ago...
Should I return new one and just clean the old one?
Or just use the new one and clean the other for next time I decide to change it?

My OCD says keep the new one. Smart people however would say clean the old one and save some money.

Swapped in heated seats from an '03 4.6is. Super simple and everything was plug and play for me.
