Probably got the stick on's cheap with his Auto Zone employee discount....Funny thing is that he was probably excited that someone was taking pictures.

Looks like he probably scraped his front bumper on the cement parking block as well.

Maybe all the stick-on studs, etc. are used to cover dents and scrapes.

I would love to send these pics to a few BMW owners I know.

Someone is not taking their AutoZone employee discount seriously.

The sad thing is that the owner actually thinks he has made an improvement. No matter how I try to re route my brain, I can not find any path that would make me look at this in a positive way and wonder just how sick the wiring in the owners brain actually is.

I guess I can't throw stones. I put some stick on rear brake vents to see how a Z06 vent kit would look. And since the paint tries to peel when I try to remove them, they are staying for now...

If you peel them off anyway, you don't need to fix the paint, you can just CUT THE HOLES and make them real.
