I have wanted to put a decent sized fire Extinguisher in the car and today took some scrap aluminum and made a bracket for it . I wanted it low in the car but still accessible so I put it at the foot of the passenger seat. It went something like this
Aluminum stock , 1' by 1/8
Final inspection by Crew Chief
test 1
Test 2
Paint
And we are DONE

As for what i did today, i went to BMW and ordered the OEM LED license plate lights, i want a small electrical project and figured this would be the perfect thing to do.
Also started spring semester in college but all the annoyance of starting back went away when all the cute chicks were pointing, smiling and breaking there necks as i drove through the campus
I also played around more then i should have today the sport button is quite adicting, and im pretty sure because it was cold out and i have sport tires on i was able to spin them in second gear while going (pretty impressive to say the least) i also shopped around to find a blow off valve and CAI
all and all, a good day with her

I remember my first few weeks of college. I spent them riding a 5 spd Schwinn around campus as I was finishing up a 60 day loss of license sentence for doing 72 in a 25 zone. Oh the good old days

now thats something that would impress the ladies nowadays 72 in a 25 in NJ would land you 3 years suspension and 6 months in jail with 6 months community service. they are harder on speeders then they are on DUI's
But thats why they invented radar/laser detectors

Finished. That 3m Dinoc is a nice vinyl to work with, but is super thick.
@Ricky, If i could just find time, I'm going to paint my brake calipers yellow too. As crazy as it seems, I'm trying to narrow down the amount of colors on the car from the factory (Yellow, chrome, silver, black, white, red) to Yellow, CF, and red.

Go with Red Calipers
Agarwaen- If your changing everything to Yellow CF and Red, I would go with red calipers. I know that red is rather traditional, so the Yellow would be different, but the yellow will show the brake dust a lot more than the red will. I have an '02 Liquid Yellow MCS and I painted mine red and they look great against the Yellow car.

So, it's lame but I got two MiniFini cupholders (AWESOME btw) and I ordered the tension tool so I can change my belt.
(I also went on WMW and put the pulley upgrade kit in my shopping cart. Not sure if I'm ready to bite the bullet and place the order...)
[edit] I was low on oil so I went and had the oil changed at jiffy lube. All went well, and including buying my own oil/filter it put me at just shy of $90 total. From what I gather, that's close to a $20 savings over the dealership, and I didn't have to clean up any mess.

I took off my stock exhaust tip to get the size of the pipe underneath. I found a local shop that can get me the Borla tip that I really want and they need to know the exact diameter. For the MC it's 2 1/4" for anyone who needs to know.
Of course, I didn't have the exact allen key and somehow got it off with a torx.
