Oh I had a busy sighting day after work!
 
First I saw a red e46 on 14 in Janesville pulling into Target that looked lowered on black wheels with chrome lips.
Then, I saw a Daytona e36 coupe on 14 driving past Anytime Fitness that looked like it had seen better days.
Finally I saw a grey e34 525i at Woodmans in Janesville that was pretty darn clean sitting on bottle caps.
 
I also keep seeing a TiAg e46 330ci ZHP in an industrial park on my way to work every day between Milton and Janesville.
 
I am no Drleadfoot so the pictures are of the "create your own" variation.

You're too hard on yourself man. The car looks good, as does the vinyl wrap.
Once its lowered, you'll fall in love.

If I end up going (which is about 90%) you can ride up with me if you want.

Theres a virginity joke somewhere in there and im not about to stoop to that level

im not sure anyone can really identify whose car that is based of those details. You should post more information like:

"gets out of the shower approximately 7:43am each morning, doesn't floss (gross bro), and received a cable bill, red plum mailer, and a water bill in the mail last Thursday,  or maybe it was Wednesday, no, that was the insurance notice..."

Obtain good quality details like that to help narrow it down. 

 

This last weekend we got the keys to our first house!  I couldn't be more excited!  The garage is 24x30 with a wall heater and insulated ceiling with great lighting and storage up top.  It's wired for 100 amp and the floors are finished already.
 
After this weekend we will be completely moved in so I will get some better pics.
 
My plans are as follows:
Clean up walls
Build more shelves and storage
Add air compressor
Replace one opener
New Doors
 

That would be me, sir. I spotted your car from down the hill and told my wife "holy shit that thing is clean" and she says "what?" and i just shook my head because she's not a bimmer freak like me, and I raced to get up the hill for a closer look.  
 
Sadly by the time I got yer attention I was already passed and couldn't give you a thumbs up 

Those look amazing Pat! Like Chris said, it wasn't the easiest layering these up, but I am glad you made use out of them. If I had the ability to print decals it would be a whole different story, but the equipment to do that is way over my price range for something I do as a hobby/side thing for fun.

I just picked up a 2003 Ford Escape XLT last night as a 3rd vehicle for us.  This opens up so many possibilities for a summer car!

As a side note this is where I dream about my garage plans, some of these guys have amazing builds. http://garagejournal.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=7

Currently trying to buy my first house as well! Hopefully will be moving in this saturday. 

Important notes- It has a 24/36 heated pole shop that is nearly brand new, and it has a 200 amp service.  

Side note- Square footage of the house is smaller than the shop=MY KIND OF PLACE

Congrats, this looks like an awesome space for a first house. I am jelly!! I only rent, but I have my feelers out for the right garage with a house attached too 
 
 
 
 
 
Nice Chris,Congrats! Sun Prairie isn't far from me, as you know. Don't be a stranger and I would love to come check out the new shop when you are all moved in!

On Lake Dr. in Shorewood.

Time for an update.
Dropped off my oil pan and baffle at the welder yesterday. I should get it back in 2 days.
This afternoon I will order new ARP rod bolts. Then track down my Snap-On guy to get a degree torque tool for measuring the 55° after the bolts are torqued to 25 ft/lbs.
I've been pulled away from the car due to a job change. I'm officially a Realtor for Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage! I've been doing rental properties for the past 4 years and now I will continue the rentals as well as adding sales into my routine.
With that being said let me know of anyone looking to buy/sell/rent a property and I can give referrals to other agents, if I couldn't effectively help myself, nationwide. As an incentive I will let anyone drive the e30 if the leads are solid!
I want to go fast, fast!!

Some pictures don't need it, but the one above needs it bad. You can play with the sliders til it looks good.
I couldn't help but to snap a picture while your car was all wet today.

Awesome touch, looks like they turned out well.

So I had an idea last week to make center caps out of the WI BImmers logo so I contacted Chris (CYoung) to ask permission to use the logo and after some ideas being thrown back and forth he volunteered to get the vinyls cut for me by Dave (bassboy3313) and send them to me.  Well I got the vinyls in the mail this week and spent this weekend making them.
 
Well I though this would be as simple as taking apart my old caps and putting the vinyls on... not so much.  First of all, the vinyls don't stick very well to the plastic even after scuffing them up so I had to put my thinking cap on.
 
I ran to Advance Auto and found emblem glue.  It worked great to stick the vinyl to the center cap and did so without disfiguring the sticker when it dried.
 

 
This is after it dried on the center cap.
 
I was concerned about weather proofing them so I shot them with 2 medium coats of clear and I still wasn't satisfied.  I drank some beer and thought about it.  Flying dog sampler pack and KCCO Black Lager to be exact.
 

 
After drinking said beers I had an idea!  I needed some kind of clear epoxy that would dry hard so to Hobby Lobby it was... The next morning of course.
 
I found Jewelry epoxy and thought I would give it a try.  And this was the result...
 

 
 
Voila!  The OEM look I wanted!
After 3 hours they were solid but still a little tacky so I let them sit over night and they are solid!
 
On the wheel.
 

 
I also did a city light mod.
 

They just did right now haha

mukwonago is a shit hole. everyone there is a dumbass. the cops there are not fun people. one of them robbed the old M&I bank, and he was our school liaison. i only go there to go to walmart for deoderant and hand sanitizer. its also filled with a bunch of red neck hipsters.

They failed to mention that 2 of the M3's were wrecked...both are sitting at Concours BMW right now.

Spotted last night in Tosa.

Spotted on Hwy 41 southbound today...

I actually have a set of spring compressors from a previous e30 project, along with a newly acquired impact wrench and I'm hoping this project goes a bit quicker!
