Nother new owner

Got this a little over a month ago, just finished claybar and waxing it. 2010 DCT all stock, no nav, black interior, 57k miles but almost at 60 now. I paid 40 for it, it's pretty clean but came from Cali so there's the front license plate holes. Also the front bumper looks like it's hanging down a touch.

That gap you see making you think your bumper is "hanging" can be filled by opening your hood and tightening the 4 bolts you see closest to your grill.

Car looks good, congrats.

Thank you I don't know what % the tint is, it's fairly light and I need to get the front windows done to match. I would prefer it a bit darker but the tint that's on there was done really well.

This is my old E36 turbo. It was a badass car but too much trouble. When I bought my house I had to sell it, things were tough for a while and I drove a Cavalier for over 2 years. Then I upgraded to a G37 coupe and drove it for 2 1/2 years. Now I feel a bit more at home.

Thanks for the advice I had to use some washers to lift it up a tad, gap is perfect now.

looks great!

out of curiosity, where did you install the washers?

did you remove the bumper and install them at the bumper support bar?

or did u just put them under the 4 bolts nearest to the grill?

Congrats. Love the plate as well (might have to steal it - w/ 8600 since BPM Stage II! ).

If you're going to get a body shop to take care of the license plate hole, have them fill in the reflector holes, too, for a Euro bumper look.
