thanks for the compliments guys

@v_therussian - the chrome is definitely gonna go... i just have the rims n muffler tips that are still chrome... i was gonna have the rims powder coated but had to replace one cause it was broken so the money i was ready to spend for pc went to the new rim... oh well...

@borisnewn - those are my loud horns, in case ne1 tries to cut me off

I see a trip to home depot to pick up some rustoleum high heat paint <==== I think I'm seeing your future

If you wanna make your exhaust tips glossy, not matte, all you'd have to do is add an extra step to the DIY - clear coat. But drying it might be a bitch tho... if you do do it though, post up a nice write up and try to take pics while doing it for the DIY - I think a LOT of members would give up mad props to you

And yo, unless you really need those sirens of yours, you might wanna look into switching them out for some RPi scoops

EDIT: almost forgot - if you're having a lot of issues with rims and you're rolling on RFTs, switch them bitches for conventional tires and drop a doughnut in your trunk (if you don't have one) - RFTs tend to cause cracks in 124s - proven issue, but BMW wouldn't acknowledge it as their flaw, so we all just kinda have to live with it...
