Well, since i have had my car since Sept 4th, i have put in a new stereo, tinted the windows and replaced the front orange reflectors with painted ones. I am looking for some relatively inexpensive things to do to my car that would help with the appearance. Just give it a cleaner look?
Any suggestions of little things I can do in the $50 - $75 range???
Not much that I can think of, besides BMW valve cover for your tires, e-brake, shift knob, spend a little more and you can get new pedals, ring gauges, eyelids, and fog light rings. Not much really of an appearence thing, but that's only because of the price range. Maybe others know better deals or places to get things at.
