**PIX OF MY NEW MODS**
I finally got the Aero Kit painted and installed for my E70. I also had a custom LED bar installed under the center rear diffuser of the Aero Kit. A custom mount was built by my bodyshop and the wires were tapped inside the car, for when I put the car in
reverse
. Pretty awesome, I must say. This is an industrial/military grade LED bar and is brighter than many HID's. At night, it looks like daylight when I'm backing up. Being that the x is my wife's car, I now feel much better when she's backing up and relies heavily on the camera (I'm going to shoot a video of this light in action, so you can see how powerful it is).
I must say that the Aero Kit on this car is subtle and clean with Jet Black. I like it a lot.
Last mod will be to have the running boards painted matte black. That will be it.
Here is everything that's been done to the truck. Everything was either custom painted, powdercoated or sprayed.
(*Note: I dropped the car last year with the custom rear links and front H&R Springs. The wife absolutely hated how it felt and it went back to stock height 3 days later. LOL! Oh well -- you can't win them all. Hahahaha!)
