jive's breeze

well its been a year today. its crazy what i've done to it in such a short time but its really not even scratched the surface of what i want this car to be. i love this thing, which is weird because i thought i would hate it coming from my STi.

looking back, i'd do it all over again...minus the getting rear ended by a drunk driver part.

My question is why is nobody selling OEM paint matched side markers yet? It is the first thing you buy when you get a BMW. I understand they have a bulb in them and they are more than reflectors, but come on now. I have been wanting a set since I got my BRZ, I just haven't decided to buy a set and take them to a body shop.

This is exactly true ! even for benz's. I've been real busy and couldnt take a pair to a body shop and do it my self so i just talked to a vendor on the forums and made a deal together, they buy them, paint match them and send them to me !

Im positive its going to make the car look so much better

it looks a million times better without the amber, hell it looks better if you wrap it in black vinyl too. anything but this fucking amber. i love my paint matched jdm ones, they have that little bump in them, looks more aggressive.

[King Tut]

That is what I want from my side marker: Aggression. I actually hate the bump in the JDM ones. I want smoothness and goneness from my reflector.

i was actually going to shave them too...BUT there is a fucking clip in there that holds your bumper on, i was very annoyed and couldn't figure out a way around that.

[SmsAlSuwaidi]

I didn't state to the shop if I wanted JDM or amber ones painted and never realized one pop more than the other, guess I might shave it a bit if it pops a lot.

no mods for a while, but the more i look into it, the more i like resonated. just need to hear it in person!

Blue really limits our options. I wanted something different for my Z06, so I went with a Titanium center and brushed lip on my Forgelines:





The brushed lip doesn't show too well in the photos, but I loved it. Perhaps you could try and modify the finish on some of your spokes to a brushed look.
