Uninstalled Mods in your garage

BlueBimmer · 03-04-2013, 03:01 PM

I know many people have done this before including myself.
You read or hear about a mod somewhere and think - that's too expensive/aggressive/loud/bright/weird/unsafe/ricey/or just too hard to install/what about warranty issues ....and the list goes on.

But sometime later, the mod bug comes along and you decide you can't live without it, now to find the best deal - is anyone selling? Would you want a used one if you found it/ what brand/color and who's going to install?

I spend some time doing research and then finally buy - next is tracking the shipment, it's the shortest time but longest perspective time because in my mind - I should have this on the car NOW!!

Then - guess what - its been days/weeks/months - and the thing is still sitting in the garage!!!

Mods in my garage:
1- Mr.5 intake
2- Carbon fiber eyebrows
3- Carbon fiber mirror covers
3- rear lip spoiler
4- LED corner lights
5- Euro Rear Fog light switch
6- lots of untouched detailing products (not a mod but I should've used them by now)

7- coming soon - BMW performance exhaust - I really hope this gets installed right away.
....... so let's hear'em - what are your uninstalled mods?

For the F30 I have the Forgestars and Michelin Super Sports.

For the E36/7 I have VAC blower cams, amps, speakers and head unit.

1. Kerscher lip
2. BMWP lip spoiler
3. Procede
4. Brake pads
5. Modified CDV
6. Various small things I'm unsure if I will put on
Downpipes currently on their way...

I find I'm always "waiting until I have everything to get it installed at once". Then when it gets close to install time, I just buy more lol.

+1000 - that's exactly what I do too, sometimes (recently) - it's the weather but even when it's nice, I'd rather go out for a drive with the top down that take apart the car and not!
