Not sure how Dale Doback and Prighozin made it into the pictures but okay.

Or the AWACS

Forgot about the plane too. Needs a screaming bald eagle too.

What about a C7 GS? Or are they too. Obviously less power but you still get the Z looks

You always say this. That doesn't stop a 1967 L72 427 on skinny bias ply tires from being a kick ass car, a 69 L88 Corvette from being a kick ass car, etc. These aren't dds, nobody puts 100K miles on them, they are made to get in, start it up, listen to the powah, and maybe get a little sideways, h...

I kind of wouldn't be surprised if the dude decides to ghost you ... also given the number of issues you've had with his work. I don't think there is a snowball chance in hell he won't fuck something else up in the process. I think it's time to cut your losses and find a super detailed PPF shop to ...

Yea honestly I don't know the level of detail these guys are supposed to get to. I have had PPF'd cars before and I would say that type of stuff is just "normal". The bubbles however... :nope: I do get that you've special ordered a special car and want it to be perfect. I just don't expec...

Correct. And it will only get worse over time. That's why pro's pull emblems and badges and tuck the ppf behind them.

I thought about that too. I’ll reach out to them directly depending on what he does to fix this stuff. Or maybe I should anyway because of all the specks underneath the film. I mean he’s tried to fix 5+ times at this point. I’d call them and see if they have another shop in the region they could wo...

Since it’s been raining cats and dogs here the last few days I went into the garage to take a look at the fender badges.

That's a good idea. Covrgard is the brand of film but the problem is they're pretty new and based in the UK. And maybe I'm blind but I can't find a dealer locator on their website. I figured since most of the film nowadays is kind of the same, you have to buy the installer. I chose poorly. :facepal...

I'm already about $2800 in the hole with this dude. Pay another shop to remove + install more film. Woof. It would all add up to be about the price of a full car ppf had I gone to a good installer the first time around. :( Probably. The bmw bros have pretty much said this stuff is unacceptable. Nev...

Chalk it up as a loss and have it redone by someone competent maybe. Could call the local high end dealerships and see who they use. They likely contract that out.

Aaaaaand I just noticed another bubble on the driver side b pillar.

Carboner race seats are ridiculous in a car that is supposed to be some kind of executive/high end vehicle. Anybody have a wife/girlfriend here who is going to approve that option? One of the reasons the M3 got approved by your superior officer is that it is somewhat double duty. I mean, fuck it, s...

Look for a local :dillerman: that has a car with them to try. Looks like you lose the ass whistler's with the carboners also... :notsure: if you got that option. But on the IX it was really disappointing :( Yeah, you lose the :knot: coolers with the carboners. I have them but haven’t tried them yet.

I'm sure I'm extremely :wrong: , but race seats are probably the most comfortable seats in a car. I drove the C5 12 hours to CT and on many other long trips with a Sparco QRT-R which is racier than pretty much anything any OEM puts in and it hurt my back way less than any other thing I've been in. ...

I do. Was just curious as I'm sure a lot of them have had it done. This ppf guy had great reviews too. :disappoint: So did the PPF guy who ghosted me and almost made me miss a fucking flight :disgust: He was even PPFing a Ferrari when I came by the shop to meet him. :ohwell: :disgust: One thing I l...

I do. Was just curious as I'm sure a lot of them have had it done. This ppf guy had great reviews too. :disappoint: Yea... you're talking to someone who may have had an entire brand new car lemon flawed by a shop that has 4.5/5 stars on yelp. :disgust: It sucks. At least you're out of it :doe: :not...

No one is DD'ing an M3 :ban: Unless of course you're made of money. That said I am pretty sure I had em on the track and I don't remember them being super uncomfortable if anything they were quite nice. Similar to the porsche buckets... Hmmm But that was 2 years ago.. Isn't GBerg driving his to wor...

Hey question did you ever try out the bmw carboner buckets ? Are they worth it? Aren't those the seats with the weird crotch pinch point thing? They are. I think they look great but I never considered them because they're a $4500 option. I'm probably too :fatty: for them anyway and there's no way t...

Break in service complete. Idle is definitely smoother but the car was still a little warm so we'll see how it is tonight after it's been sitting all day. Spoke to the genius again and he walked me through how to code the lasers on an M8 in the showroom. I'll order the obd2 adapter and buy bimmercod...

I used the pressure washer on all the cars today to wash the pollen off. It's pretty rare I physically touch a car with a sponge anymore. Most of the time a rinse, Obsessed Garage foam cannon, and another rinse are as good or better than a touch less wash and I can do both cars in about 5mins. Buuu...

You pressure wash your car ? First question … Second question … he knows about it ? And final comment. What a dick he still doesn’t own up to it I’m sure I said something about how I wash the car to keep it maintained. It’s just a cheap karcher pressure washer BUT I bought the accessories and whatn...

Detailer of doom is blaming my pressure washer but he’ll fix it on the house.

I don’t have some super powerful pressure washer but whatever. I’ll make sure to keep an eye on the b pillars from now on.
