Needed a major car wash after hitting up Seabright beach in Santa Cruz for the 4th of July weekend.

Just a side note, Seabright is pretty weak -- NO alcohol, NO fireworks, NO sun, NO F-U-N!!! Rangers kept coming around non-stop searching in people's coolers and sticking their nasty-*** nostrils into people's cups checking for alcohol. People were getting kicked out and fined $1,000 for sneaking alcohol in! Just an FYI if anyone's thinking about going there.

And an update on my bent wheel, got it fixed but not completely. So at 70+ mph my car vibrates. I'm still waiting on CalTrans to get back to me about my claim.

Haven't posted pix in awhile, so enjoy!

very niice. Now drop it!

 

Great pics, man. G's in OB always look so damn good when they are nice and clean.

Have you thought about adding the factory front lip? I think that, and maybe painting your headlights would really finish off the front end nicely.

 

Wheels look small!! Are they 18"? Maybe with a drop they would look nicer. I love my Black Obsidian G.

 

yea ... a drop will complete the clean outlook^^

 

They are 19" DPEs. Yeah, since there's a lip, the spokes don't go all the way out to the edge of the wheel -- makes them seem smaller than they really are.

Oh well! I love the look more in person. I also went one tire size up from what was recommended to eliminate as much wheel-well gap as possible. Tires are TOYO 255/40 (F) and 285/35 (R).

Our stock ride heights aren't as nice as a stock 3-series, but I personally don't think it's all that bad. I love being able to get up my driveway without going completely sideways! Shoulda seen my 240 -- headache with every little bump in the road.



I do want to paint my headlight housings, but am afraid of condensation and moisture building up inside. Anyone know of a reputable place?

As for the lip, I'm still waiting for that $1,000 Access Evolution lip from Japan to drop in price!!! Or for someone to make a replica -- anyone, PLEASSSSE???

 

Check out either Limited Edition or 180° Custom for your headlight work, They do decent work and they both do a LOT of G headlights, so they know what they are doing. They both also offer warranties on their work. Limited Edition is located down here in SoCal, so since you are in CA, they may be your best bet.
