Talking Finally got my 4.6is kit and Running boards installed! Lots of pics!

Hey everyone, as some of you may know, the past month has been torture for my X. She got in a hit and run on 11/1, causing a cracked taillight, 4 dents right below/along side the taillight, and a huge crack, and many scrapes along my rear bumper. The accident even caused the rear shock absorber to pop out, and push the bumper out on the driver side (I wish I took pics). I would have never guessed this accident could have resulted in my truck looking like this! When I took the car to our shop, we also fixed the passenger side rear dent (which also was a hit and run that occured last year) and my shop only charged $400 to fix it (it required painting the rear door to color match). Also, at this time, I decided to pick up the 4.6is kit and running boards from Morristown BMW. It took a while to get a hold of Nick and Mike, but when I did, they sent the parts out, and in 2-3 days I got my packages. When the parts came in, we dropped off the car, and got the car back within a week. Again, my shop gave us a great price for the install ($500), which included painting the kit, and installing the kit and running boards. All in all, I am VERY happy! The car is finally coming together, and looks awesome. I still have a lot left to do to the car, and in the upcoming year, the car will hopefully be finished.

I'd like to thank the following:

Ledyard St. Autobody - I owe you guys for doing such great work, and giving us the best price possible. My family will be going to you for all our future repairs, as well as my friends.

Kirill: Thanks for the great pics.

Thanks for reading, and now enjoy the pictures.

That's definitely on the list. I think I'm going to go with SS, I love their tips.

Yeah, the kit really set-off the car. And don't worry, the brakes will be upgraded next year.
