  • First time installing overfenders and making my E36 WIDE! I gave it my best DIY effort and it came out better than expected! (I'm not a paint/body guy) All it takes is a bunch of cutting, grinding, welding, and PATIENCE! Now I can fit my brand new wide (thicc) wheels and tires. She looks MEAN!

      technically yes, but for example, while the m50 b25 engine is a thousand dollars in the USA (thousand dollars = eight thousand five hundred TL), in Turkey it is 30 thousand TL, so everything is extra costly and illegal. Since most auto parts are not produced in Turkey, they are expensive here. So I am planning to come to America soon :)
