Mod Happy E90ers: Share which mods are eating dust

So this is for those lazy E90 tuners out there.

What mods, how many of them, and how long were they sitting in your garage or your closet or front of your desk eating dust?

When I mod my vehicle, I have tendancy to receive the item, and then wait forever before I put them on.

so this is a thread to make me feel better about it. or for you to feel better.

Mods eating dust: 4
-Hartge Lip(its been 5 months, trying to save $$$ to get the cracks fixed & painted, but buying other mods while trying to save $$$ doesn't really work)
-Longtran's HyperWhite PMBs (few weeks, waiting until I install the foglight bulbs...?)
-MTEC Super White Foglight bulbs (few days, waiting until I install the PMBs...?)
-H&R Sport Springs (few weeks, and I don't know why)

I'm sort of feeling your pain. Got the blacklines, but having second thoughts about whether I really like them or not. The've been sitting here in the box for 1 month and counting.

But 4 mods that you haven't installed? What's the hold up for you? Some of those mods you got I bet you could knock out in a couple hours.

It would depend on the mod, but most of mine were done the day I got them. The day my new trim was supposed to be delivered I actually took off from work. I popped the old trim out before FedEx got there, and then sliced open the box immediately and waxed it, then installed it.

Bring those blacklines along at our next meet/group install to be held at FrankoQ's place, we'll help you install them. I know Bavarian19 (AJ) can do these with his eyes closed.

Will know date and time as soon as we get our order/shipment of mds82's LUX rings (angel eyes mod). Will update on the DC chat thread or DC metro Lux install thread or will PM you.



Btw I have my RE spacers eating dust as well. Was gonna try them on with my current setup but been telling my lazy ass to wait for the wheels and do them at the same time.

BK - go ahead and install them. It just takes 10 or 15 minutes. I have TiAg too. It took two days to "adjust" to the new look, and now I really like it.

Is the thrill of the new toy wearing off? Send me everything and I will send you a photo of what it would look like. I have plenty of time to spare.

Two mods eatig dust. Splash gaurds (1 month) and sunglass compartment (2 weeks). many reason for not doing them. These are the ones that top the list: Finishing flooring in a bathroom, then my tires came in. I had to mount those babies up on my CSl's right away!

It's a deal Donny. Can't beat an offer like that.

Hey did u guys do a group order on the LUX rings?

Also interested in spacers on the rear. What offset did you get and how much?
