What did you do for your ZHP/BMW today?

Oh my gosh...plastidip should not be considered an alternative to painting your car. If you want to change color, get some vinyl wrap and do it properly!

For the record:

I've had plasti dip on my winter wheels since november of 2010, and they went through the '10-11 winter as well as the '11-12 winter with no problems. DD'ed the car, constant use of pressure washers at the DIY place and no peeling from that. I only experience peeling because I used tire shine on it and it softened them up, so I peeled about 1/2 off.

I think that this stuff has proven to be tough and durable, but not something that I'd recommend doing on a whole car beacause of the stupid over-spray. Even if you take hours to mask everything off, you might as well just get a whole paint job. I think the bad things people are experiencing this is because of user error. So I say to keep it for the nice(er) cars like the audi's and whatever else that YouTube video guy does and off stock 325's (bf.c thread reference) and 99% of the time, the colors on our ZHP's are 100x better than a matte black (tacky) or a matte white plasti-dip paint job that's probably going to look very uneven and unprofessional anyways.

Well, technically I didn't do anything to my car today, but I got the drivers side E90 headlight housing in the mail today. So, sometime in the near future, I'll be starting the E90 bowl retrofit...

Got this in. Love it:


Unfortunately my passenger side window started making a clunking sound when going down up, along with some scary stops and starts. I think my regulator is on the way out. It's back up and staying up until I get this fixed. Anyone know how much the job is generally?

I don't see a problem with it at all. As long as the guy paying for it realizes its a cheap alternative to the DiNoc wrap and/or correctly painting. He should also realize that the durability may not be up to par (though others have proven otherwise, here), and that there may be special cleaning instructions and tools required. I thought the car in the video came out great.

I wonder what that set the ///M3 owner back?

Kudos to the madrussian radar hardwire diy and Seth for the hardwire kit. I saved $45 (V1 repair) and got my V1 operational again
