Was looking at the fender side marker and thought I would break it up a little since it was black on black. I did this before on my E92 M3. It's a simple wrap, so if I get tired of it, I'll just pull it off.

Friday, I had a friend come over for a labor swap.

He color corrected and ceramic coated my car while I installed Eibach springs, Dinan mid pipe and spacers on his G87.

I sprayed Iron deposit remover and clay barred my car before he got there.

Dinan mid pipe was a really nice unit. You have to cut the mid pipe off the car though. Sawzall made quick work of it.

Ceramic coating being applied. He used CreaKote. He's been wanting to try it out, because apparently they usually only sell to certain people, but opened up sales to the general public.

I finished his car rather quickly. I didn't get before pictures, but the G87 is quite tall from the factory. This still needs to settle, but it could be lower IMO.

All done! Both of us were happy with the finished products.

One thing that hardly ever gets clean is behind the license plate. It's a nice sight when it does though.

I pulled the car outside between rain storms on Saturday to get some shots.

I also installed the switch panel that allows you to turn off the parking sensor beeping that causes the car to jump out of Reverse.

A friend came into town from Texas, so we gathered the M2s together for a mountain run over to Deals gap area.

Parked like this, then they wanted to move my car to make it lightest to darkest... LOL ok then.

Pretty good day. Found out REALLY quick I need to flush the brake fluid with some high temp and change the stock pads. They don't do a very good job.

I'm not from Texas. My buddy drove over from Houston.

Forum member was selling this used brake handle and I was on the lookout for one anyway.

Thank you. I'm most likely going to drop the rear a little bit though.
