Cool My Update Thread

Instead of making a new thread for each little thing I buy for my car I'll just keep updating this one.

Things done so far:
E46 projector 3K HID retrofit
K&N drop in filter
powder coated IS300 wheels (temporary)
3 resonator delete
black tail lights
BFI 3.4

and soon to be installed:
matrix leather steering wheel with is300 airbag

The tails are just fine man....what I suggest is smoke or vinyl them like I did to mine and you will like them a whole lot more. Heading in the right direction. Good luck with the modding.

The horn was strangely difficult on mine as well, it ended up not working for the first day or two. Just kept randomly pushing on it till it worked.

I had the opposite problem. I was all done putting the wheel and airbag on. When I went to connect the battery, the horn would stay on untill I undid the battery.

I'm assuming that since the airbag light isn't on that I did it correctly. Am I right?

Good stuff. You never see many of the teal ones. I hated the color when I bought mine, but I really like it now.
