35% Tint

1ToBeOn2Wheels · 02-12-2008, 02:16 AM

Mateo, your avatar is awesome.

Definitely tint for me, the day I get it. Equal darkness all the way around. Let those fix-it tickets from the CHP roll in.

Apart from a radar detector, I like my cars as their maker intended......

randomquickness · 02-12-2008, 04:31 AM

tint and v1 are at the top of my list

mrgoochio · 02-12-2008, 06:18 AM

I hate the way radar detectors look in the car...

ipp · 02-12-2008, 06:40 AM

I'm going to have my mirror covers painted Jet Black, and buy the all black performance parts front kidneys. Also I'm going to put in H8 GP Thunders for the angel eyes, like them white instead of yellowish.

1ForAll · 02-12-2008, 06:56 AM

1. 25% tint
2. Black out grill
3. Repaint interior trim to match exterior
4. New wheels (Enkruez H8R)
5. Coil overs
6. Intake
7. Exhaust
8. Dinan re-flash

E82tt6 · 02-12-2008, 07:28 AM

-L/W Wheels/Real Tires. 245s all around (if they'll fit up front)
-M Shift Knob/SSK

MastaMind · 02-12-2008, 07:48 AM

-20" Chrome wheels
-Upgraded stereo with two 12" subwoofers in the trunk
-Cut springs

or I'll just get the Dinan reflash (since my dealer already stated that they will warranty and service a Dinan flashed car) and forged wheels with non-runflat tires.

Probably go with chrome 20" spinners though....

alivebacon · 02-12-2008, 09:10 AM

Tint 5% in the back, 25% in the front. (0% on the windshield, driving blind makes it that much more exhilarating, you have no idea.)
Re-spray my rims white.
Exhaust

Get white leather with black trim!

alivebacon · 02-12-2008, 09:13 AM

Excuse me for my ignorance, but what is a Dinan Re-flash?

I know Dinan is the aftermarket company, but a re-flash?

mrgoochio · 02-12-2008, 09:26 AM

Looks like an ECU reflash to optimize the tune.

UR2SLOW1 · 02-12-2008, 09:32 AM

1. Black Chrome Rims
2. CORSA EXHAUST
3. Carbon Fiber interior trim
4. Dinana Reflash

Black sheepskin inserts. (they don't cover the whole seat) Black leatherette gets real hot down here even in a white car.

MZWIE · 02-12-2008, 11:04 AM

What does tinting, ghetto wheels and big ass subwoofers have to do with performance. These are not mods they are merely accesories.

If it does not improve the performance then it's not a mod.

Why do people insist on taking a great car like a 1 series and pimping it out.

That's what Cadillacs are for.

And BTW, true modding involves making it so that no one really notices.

I think you need to recalibrate your sarcasm meter--it's not working correctly. :wink:

Also, would you not consider forged monoblock wheels and sticky non-runflat tires to be true mods since people would notice them? I think you need to calm down just a bit....

It's working just fine.

Merely mounting a new set of tires/wheels (especially 20") does not change mechanicals whatsoever. So it's not a mod.

Sway bars, springs, SSK, air intakes, etc. Those are mods. Tinting, clear turn signals, subwoofers, spinners and such are not.

That is your opinion. Modding is short for modifying, but I assume you know that already. If you change something, thats modding... although perhaps not in your taste. "true modding involves making it so that no one really notices" (for performance) is also known as modding your car to be a sleeper.
