Fresh Detail

[apocalypsegoat]

Just washed/waxed and did a full interior detail of my baby this morning, thought i'd throw up a pic, since most of mine are when its dirty



Had an issue with the vinyl for my shadowline, but that's all fixed up now.

Next mods are possibly:
White solaris invisibulbs for all the turn signals, interior vinyl wrap to get rid of that ugly vavona wood, front strut bar or maybe rear sway bar to tighten up handling... also just noticed that my steering wheel emblem paint is fading off pretty bad.

Any way, enough of my rambling... leave any tips comments suggestions etc

Looks really good. What's your mileage?

If you want to tighten up handling, forget a strut bar. They make absolutely no difference at all.

what kind of vinyl wrap are you thinking about?

It's running around i think 64k last time i looked. Do they really not make a difference?

I was thinking of the 3m Di-Noc, maybe in some sort of aluminum or black finish, maybe a black colored wood of some sorts? Trying to do a silver/black theme throughout.

Looks nice!

Thanks

Rear M5 sway bar made a big difference for me. Definitly worth the upgrade in my opinion.

Really? E39's have notoriously weak strut towers, I would think a strut tower bar would help a lot.

Only if you're flexing the towers enough to affect the geometry. On a street car with stock suspension I doubt that happens. Stiffening up the suspension first will improve things more.

I wouldn't use a strut bar unless I was trying to wring that last 1/10 out of the suspension, and at that point I'd be on a track. Otherwise it's just weight and bling.

That does make sense about the strut bar, probably have to do like a sharp turn at high speed to notice a real difference. Overall I think i'm gonna pick up some goodies(glove box aux power,trunk mat, emblem replacements) today from the stealership and worry about the rest of the major stuff after i move wednesday.

Do you notice any oversteer, or does it just handle better? What exactly do you notice differently?
