Looks good Josh.

On the wheel topic, look at changing the offset and/or spacers.

I did staggered 19s with 10mm offset change (out) vs OE E53 19"s. put 25mm H&R spacers on the rear.

Really changed the look....

Thanks, yours looks great too. The larger wheels really do change the look. When I do go with wheels I am going to go with wide 20s (either OE iS wheels or some Niches, I have two different models in mind). I know ride will suffer, but I don't mind.
