Looks good.

I've done some very similar mods on my 135. Plasti dipped the wheels, 135 badge, bought a similar looking spoiler off ebay, tint...great cosmetic bang for your buck type of mods.

P.S Dayum howd you get such cheap pinstripes for your grill, im looking for white ones so I can put two striped on my grill LOL

Type in "bmw sticker" in ebay, then use the drop down to show listings that are the lowest price, then look for the buy it now price. They should be .99. I just bought german flag stripes today for .99.

So any more info on those pillows?

I used to have the same "bow tie" style pillows on my Evo x. Hated the look. But if it helps my neck...I want more info.

I added a few links below. I cannot find the exact pillows I have. Amazon probably ran out so you might want to search in a week or 2. But here are some similar and perhaps better pillows. 3 links below, from worst to best.

Cheaper: no bmw badge:

These might help your back, no bmw badge:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Limousine-Ne...891ff7&vxp=mtr

These are the best in my opinion, with bmw badge:

Thanks I'll probably check out the best set you suggested. Wish it was amazon not ebay.

I forgot to add my $17 Bmw door projector lights! Lol. I know people will hate on these too, but guess what, the thread is called poor man mods, so you get what you click on.

LOL wtf is that I need more info. Too funny. Its like being batman.

The poorest poor man mod I know is to cut the little center slat out of the right/left air inlets if you have the M bumper where the fogs would normally be. Looks really good.

This thread reminds me of Nasioc.com of when people get bored and do pepboy type mods on their nice cars...

Unfortunately I tend to agree. One or two are fine...

How was the fitment on the spoiler from ebay? So scared to buy it and it's off. Saw a forum member with it and the fitment was totally off.
