Bad habits...got busted

ska///235i · 05-01-2014, 09:12 PM

Order some stuff for the 2 and was hiding it in the garage from the wife.....wife and kid went upstairs to bed so I thought it'll be a good time to check them out and snap some pics.

Bam!!! Just as Im laying out all the CF goodies. They came back downstairs ahahaha busted

Anyone else hide their mods?

///cpt · 05-01-2014, 09:30 PM

smoking is a bad habit.
cocaine is a bad habit.
this is more of a man cave starter kit.

..that being said, that is quite a nice bunch of parts you've got there.

looooool

M3 Esq · 05-01-2014, 09:47 PM

Nice I love it! I don't hide mods but I don't go out of my way to tell her either. If she sees it fine if not that's fine too.

Try the "it's my money" defense that one always works wonders

If you don't mind me asking. How much all that set you back Clark?

jstnstr · 05-02-2014, 07:17 AM

Yeah that cocaine or smoking habit may be cheaper than those M performance carbon fiber bits.

ska///235i · 05-02-2014, 07:33 AM

Exactly...its like crack

$1600 including weathertec floorliners and the cf trim for the auto lever

My EB/Black M235i arrived yesterday. I have a performance exhaust that's likely getting put on today. Wife asked me why I couldn't pick it up last night. "They're still *prepping it*", says I. <cough!>

To be fair, I don't ask any details about her shoes...

phoenixbmwlife · 05-02-2014, 10:53 AM

This is cool! But Dude you gotta find a better hiding place.

ska///235i · 05-02-2014, 11:12 AM

Wow recieved the other perf piece (auto lever trim) and to my suprise it is not just the CF surround but also comes with the alcantara...very happy

lbahoshy · 05-02-2014, 11:39 AM

Looks very cool. Please post pics when you get the bite installed on the car!

And yes, I agree, you need to find a better place to hide the goods!

By the way, does anyone know if these are made of actual carbon fibre and just a carbon fibre look material?

quickdrum89 · 05-02-2014, 11:49 AM

...she just see's the parts and asks how much faster the car is going to go now. *sarcastically*

quickdrum89 · 05-02-2014, 11:50 AM

The parts look great though. Nice addition!

I laughed my ass off on that one...

It's a good strategy - I am going to "borrow" it.

The only problem is that I do ask about shoes once in a while (after seeing several shoe boxes in the same month)

The CF mirrors are real. The interior trims I cant tell but it looks fantastic. Both are top notch.
