Just curious, why didn't you do any ceramic coating or so on your own car?

[Detailers Domain]

to be honest I haven't been able to because we have been so slammed at the shop I'm lucky that I can even wash it once a month.

When the car is stored at the shop for the winter months I will start working on it.

I had my FI-R's for about a month before I even got them on.

Bump for Phil. Lots of choices in the tristate but DD is the best around. Detailed all of my VWs in the past and got my cars show ready.

When my F80 arrives I'll be reaching out again! -nick

I bought this intake for looks first and performance later. Installation was easy and the quality of the intake is A grade. The carbon fiber weave matches the oem carbon fiber as well.

We're going to have twins.

My first post, this thread is fantastic! I got a 2016 M3 on order and this made me want to change my interior to Sakhir Orange, just hope it's not too late. Really glad you posted all the products you used to treat and protect the leather.

[Detailers Domain]

nice post up the photos.

I will, once it's built in November. Got a question for you, but it would be OT, so I'm just going to PM you.

update: custom extended rock guards.

if you haven't already noticed our M3's get a lot of rock chips on high impact areas like the front end and rockers, that's pretty obvious.

however there are a couple of other high impact areas we forget to protect
1. the inch or so on the bottom of the doors
2. above the oem clear guards/rock guards

BMW installs a rock guard but it falls short as I have noticed a ton of peppering on my rear wheel arch right above where the oem ends.

The fix was to extend the rock guard and protect it from more damage.
(all BMW M3's that come into the shop for clear film now receive this custom extended piece to help combat the rock chips)

Make sure to ask your installer to do this for you.

take a look

[Detailers Domain]

wow great shot can't wait for the rest of them.
