wash, clay, wax... and lip.

Here are some "better" pics of my car w/the lip after washing it, claying it, and waxing it (w/NXT).

Lip looks awesome. I can't wait till Neal gets more so I can finally get one.

NXT wax is awesome too. I use it as well and love the way it comes off easy. But claying is a must before waxing and can't believe how some people wax their cars right after washing their cars. Just putting more dirt on the body and scratching it without claying. (crzy!)

thanks for the kind words guys!

I'm still debating if I'm going to drop it. I don't know what I'm going to do with this car in about a year from now, so I don't know if getting coilovers will be worth it.

I have a few more ideas of what I want to do, but I'm going to have to wait a few months before I proceed...

I want to get:
1. C55 spoiler
2. Tein SS or H&R Coilovers
3. Eisenmann Race Exhaust
4. Tint

but we'll see how it plays out...

Y? SSR's are forged alloy. Best available wheel compound used on the market right now. If it were cast, that's a different story.

Does the "M" on your license plate have anything to do with BMW?

You're kidding right? The "M" is for Meridian Auto Design, they put the lip on for me and put that plate on b/c it would match with the black better (but it has since been removed). This "M" isn't even the same coloring or font as the BMW "M", and besides, why would anyone put the BMW "M" on an MB?

I wish I could find someone who could do that good a job, I had mine detailed last year, total waste of money, looks like I'll have to get my rags out this weekend, Hope I do half as good a job as you.
