It's alright. Should be a relatively easy fix. More pissed off that it happened in the first place. And thankful I avoided her hitting my quarter panel by a foot or so. Had I not drifted the car out to the right, I would need a lot of body work from her hitting my car

I started changing out my OEM hoses for the Red silicone Samco hoses in preparation for my radiator change out this Saturday for my ZHP :thumbsup

Also having the radiator changed soon - set up an appointment to drop off the car tomorrow right after classes. So they will be able to work on it Friday morning without having to worry about hot parts.
Upper & lower radiator hoses, two thermostats, radiator, coolant expansion tank, cap, and maybe a few other things I missed.
Headers will not be on the list since I'd still rather smog first, then have them installed.

Also, wheels are now so dirty that they went from silver to powder-coated silver. (But in a nice, uniform way) :rofl

My son just text me that the E9x rear badges are bigger by 1 mm. E46 badges are 17mm & E9x are 18 mm. And the numeric and alphabets on the E9x are all connected. How hard to cutoff the alphabets 'is' and merge to the numericals '330' without destroying the plastics and show like factory is the question.

I would say your son or his sources are misinformed... If it weren't a "fake" badge, I would totally rock it. I think the ZHP should have been badged the 330is... But, its not "real" so I couldn't do it...

On the flip side, if we could get small badges, I would totally rock the fender badge, I think these are awesome!!
