It's sad that I feel like we are just sitting ducks waiting for shit to take place. Nothing can be done. From SF, Chicago and now New York. It's not about something needed to be done anymore. The real question is what the hell are those idiots in the offices doing. Body parts found in NY park then subway conductor' throat got slashed... It's ridiculous!

And to be honest this shit isn’t racial. As a black man *I* am scared to walk around in Baltimore and now honestly most of Washington D.C. I am a network engineer for MedStar, if you are in the DMV you know the medical group. A lot of the remote offices are in some questionable areas.

Shit is just fucked up all around.

This makes the above statement so much more comical and I am not surprised it’s coming from the likes of you. “Outside of Annapolis”….

And he’s lived in Germany for 20 years so that’s like me commenting on my hometown I haven’t lived in for that long….meaningless.

I said your spacers were ghetto. They damage your suspension over time and they do no favors to the handling of your car.


You are free to damage your suspension to get a (fake) wide stance, ofc.


PG County?

No they don’t damage your suspension Nassar. That was shot down in that thread and you used the term ghetto from a stylistic stereotype perspective and not an adverse functional perspective.

Making more friends around here?Remember my comment about showing humility? Have you looked up the definition in that dictionary/thesaurus you keep next to your keyboard? It would go a long way if you just ate crow every now and then when you put your foot in your mouth. This is the most kind, gentle and respectful forum (but still boys being boys) I’ve ever been on and you’ve managed to shit all over it.

Go ahead, reply with some snarky remark about spacers or star marked tires and ignore the feedback and your mishaps.

I agree, not racial at all. Blind hate comes in all forms and it's not just about skin color. There is only one race with respect to people - the human race.

There are haters all over and the hate is generated for many reasons that I care not to even think about. That being said, we must all stay vigilant.

All fixed

Got the fender fixed by Lauderdale BMW of Pembroke Pines, FloriDUH 😉.

They had to blend the clear into the door so the total cost was $2044.00

I think they did a great job. Color and texture matches and no lips from masking tape. They removed everything.

Before and after pics....

Actually, I always thought that plastic piece was purely decorative but it attaches to a brake cooling duct that has an opening in the fender well.

There's also an "intake" at the lower, outside of the front bumper, under the fog/driving light. I believe that opening in the fender is flow-through for aerodynamics. It would help keeping air from being trapped in the wheel well.

That makes sense. Thanks. I just didn't realize that there was a functional part of the black vent. Ignorance on my part.

Correct, in from the front intake below the pork chop trim and out the fender vent. Cools the brakes.
