Nice!

My arms need that.

Can I ask you what you used for paint, and maybe a pic of how they came out?

They allow you to post to ZHPmafia from work? Great use of my tax dollars :)

Glad to see that you are still hanging around here. Did you ever convince Alex to sign up over here?

Today I installed my new G.A.S. 1.2 Bar coolant cap on my M3 :)

Just for comparison this was my original coolant cap....

Thanks Trevor for posting your pic. If I didn't see that pic I would never have ordered this for my M3 :thumbsup

I wasn't planning on it and then I saw how bad they looked!

I was going to just use satin black, because I had it sitting in the garage. As I went to grab the can I noticed a fresh can of trim paint that my dad had bought, so I used that! They came out great! I'll go take pictures in a bit!

The most "super-pure driving experience" was my 1970 911T with S suspension and 2.7 RS motor. Racing-layout 5 speed with dog-leg first, 2100lbs. Ants had to be afraid of the front spoiler, it was almost as low as Charlie's M3!!! ;)

No before photos, but they were pretty bad! I am very happy with the results and the trim paint worked great!

I like it! I would do the same, but I know that with my luck, it'll chip in no time. Wish I had more backroads to work with and not shitty highways that they've dug up and still haven't paved. :(

I must have acquired 10% of my car's rock chips just from the past couple of weeks from this damn repaving project!
