pffft, just because you have cateracts on your cars eyes :p
stigmatism ftw!!!
I'm excited because I finally ordered HIDs 6000K here I come.
At the same time I'm sad because the car is now in winter mode.
Either way, I thought I'd share my current wallpaper...

Essentially the winters are one now (steelies 16") and I'm going to get the car oilsprayed this week. Thats essentially it I guess :p
nice pic! car looks great
you'll be ok running with that SUV this winter.....:) j/k......
nice floodlghts
i always loved black mz3's.
love the last shot.. but if I were you.. I would lose the blue pinstriping on the front bumper... and the blue calipers... paint them black
Looks really good. What did you use to black out your reflectors?
Black reflective tape. It still reflects white so its still a reflector.
Got the stuff at Canadian Tire.
The third brake light is smoked with Tint Paint.
So you swop out your red reflectors with clear/white ones, then smoked them with the tape? What's the tape called?Quote:

No swap. Just put the tape over stock reflectors. I don't remember what it was called. Look in the pinstripe/tint/vinyl section.
so clean
I thought I'd throw in a few more pics...this was just before the car got ready for winter.

Of course...end of october actually.
lookin' sweet Dave! Those rims are worht every penny!
I just went in to get my tires here in town and had a nice long chat with the sales guy and he found some TFT Gunmetal rims in the back that i just LOVED and gave me a nice quote too. Still think yours are nicer, but TFT makes some real nice wheels.
... gotta go to CT and find that reflective tape now :)
That sounds sweet man, PM me a pic I wanna see them man!!!
I would if I could find them *lol*
the salesman wrote the number on his card for me for reference, but not sure where to find them online. they are gunmetal # 414 (whatever that means) hahahaha. next time i go in to rotate my tires I will see if i can take a pic of them. they also had one of your rims on display and I will get a pic of that too :)
where did you take the 3rd pic?
The shot was taken in front of the OpenText centre in the technology district of the University of Waterloo.Quote:

cant wait to see ur ride dropped man!
HIDs are on the way. I was hoping to get them installed this week, but I tell ya school is really preventing that action lmao.
There are actually 2 kinds. One is called "blackout tape" and it is in the automotive section right by the parts/service counter and the other is called "SafeTape" which is the black reflective tape I found near the audio section at the end of the row. This was in the Appleby Line store.Quote:

awesome! thanks man.. now I know what to look for!
can you put the SafeTape over the 3rd taillight?
No, it doesn't let any light through. Your only option for the 3rd tail is to replace it, tint it with external tint, or easiest and cheapest tint paint.
Hey where did you get tint paint? ThanksQuote:

I will chime in again on this one. Marco gets credit for this though. The tint is called "VHT Nite-Shade" and can be purchased at Performance Improvements (they usually have 3-4 cans lying around). I have done alot of research on this and it is probably your best bet if you aren't near Pac Mall like Dave said :)
