#1. [E36M3] Where to get spoiler painted - from Dave DeBuhr

Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2006 13:16:44 -0800 From: "Dave DeBuhr" <debuhr@comcast.net> Subject: [E36M3] Where to get spoiler painted I bought a lip spoiler from an E39 M5. Looks like a perfect fit on the E36 M3/4 boot lid; Tasteful looking. I can't find a decent body shop that will paint and install it. They all say they only work with insurance companies. Anyone know a place that would do a job like this that does good work? How much should I expect to pay? Thanks! Dave

Where abouts are you, perhaps someone on the list knows of a place near you that doesn't charge that much, or where you can get a deal. Alternative route, buy a rattle can and paint it yourself. I did this on my e30 (ok, my wife is the rattle can expert, I just did the install), and it came out really nicely. http://www.paintscratch.com/ Installing it isn't quite as easy, since there's the added pleasure of drilling holes in your perfectly good trunk lid. But if you mess that up you can always use it as an excuse to buy a carbon fibre trunk lid....

#10. Toyo RA-1 versus Michelin Pilot Sport Cup & Hoosier R3S04 versus R3S05 - from Jeff Bjerke

Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2006 22:45:54 -0600 From: "Jeff Bjerke" <jbjerke@charter.net> Subject: Toyo RA-1 versus Michelin Pilot Sport Cup & Hoosier R3S04 versus R3S05 Does anyone have experience with both Toyo RA-1's and Michelin PSC's? What are the differences between them? Grip, longevity etc. Also, has anyone had a chance to try out the new Hoosier R3S05? Hoosier claims it lasts longer than the S04, but I'm curious if there's any real world difference. Jeff Bjerke
