new CSL wheels and TAKATA 4pt harness photoshoot

ballamike · 10-20-2008, 07:59 PM

so i just got the CLS wheels from EAS and i think they were a great addition to the 1. I also took my Takata belts from my last car and added them to the 1. I was off today and had some extra time for a shoot so i snapped some pics. Hope you enjoy them

:thumbup:

VERY clean, you smoked the tails just right IMO. Those Takatas are a very nice addition also, are you looking to get bucket seats later on?

arrutled · 10-20-2008, 08:06 PM

you need the performance grill for the complete package!

135i_TT · 10-20-2008, 08:06 PM

i didnt "buy" it anywhere its actual tint spray done by a pro. Film sometimes leaves a red outline of the lights so i didnt want to go that route.

S54dan · 10-20-2008, 08:12 PM

Wow!!! Excellent job. Next you should set off the front with either Matte or Gloss grills!!

Very tasteful :thumbup:

M3Newbie88 · 10-20-2008, 08:45 PM

I think a drop will be good but overall very hot.. CSL rims are always nice..

wow sick!!!!!!!! we should meet up sometimes since yer in OC

larryn · 10-20-2008, 09:11 PM

Nice job! Three questions though... :smile:

1. Where are you mounting the rear anchor points for the harnesses,
2. and do you keep the rear seat cushion in?
3. What size front tires are those (and rears too, for that matter)?

gatorfast · 10-20-2008, 09:53 PM

Looks great!

sayid_jarrah · 10-20-2008, 10:10 PM

those photos look like shit

brokemywallet · 10-20-2008, 10:31 PM

LOL

.....I love brutal honesty!!! by the way, you have CSL reps, not CLS.....

Looking good BTW....

Robert · 10-21-2008, 12:04 AM

ballamike, you are in my neck of woods! Where you at?

Slick_M3 · 10-21-2008, 12:20 AM

car looks sick, are those matte black?

Justabanana · 10-21-2008, 03:31 AM

Could you take any pics with the rear lights on?
The blacked out rear lights look all right but... can anyone see what's happening in them? I mean, it's quite the cost for the looks if you get a pickup halfway the trunk if it's driver doesn't see you braking.
(Quite the far-fetched theory I admit, and the brake lights are bright, but anyhow...)

And as others have said; Shadowline grills would fit it perfect. Sweet looking ride anyways.

hbiscuit · 10-21-2008, 05:08 AM

i would not want to be in that car in the event of a rollover.

ptack · 10-21-2008, 05:32 AM

Nice, but I honestly don't know what the point of the harness is. Do you track this car with those wheels?

ballamike · 10-21-2008, 10:46 AM

thanks everyone for the nice words....
here are some answers to some questions...

*The belts are connected to the rear seat bars under the plastic tabs so no seat removal. The side parts are connected to the bar on the floor and the last bolt is connected to the actual seat where the belt connector was. Sorry if thats kinda confusing to understand, i'll see if i can snap some shots today.

*These are CLS Reps, sorry i forgot to add that.

**The wheels are matte black and the tire sizes are 245/35/18 all the way around. I will be getting a small spacer to give the rear a better stance.

**I do plan to track the car with these wheels.... Any reason why i shouldnt?? id like to know before i go out there haha....

arok · 10-21-2008, 11:38 AM

nice, what offsets are you running in the front to get 245's in the front? Nice color choice. what track to you plan on hitting up?

congrats, fellow previous G owner lol

c Doval · 10-21-2008, 11:54 AM

did u paint the CLS reps yourself or bought them matte black. I've been searching and all i find is reg black or matte silver.. nice 135i nonetheless and your tails lights came out smooth unlike other people who attempt blacking out

Coach · 10-21-2008, 11:58 AM

Do you use those belts for normal driving? If so, isn't it annoying not being able to lean forward to push buttons, etc...
