Ehh, not my style at all. The mirrors look too small for a vehicle of this size, the color is terrible and I don't like the body gaps with the aftermarket fenders. The gap between the bumper and the the plastic trim just under the drivers side headlight is very uneven. Also the bumper gap under the drivers side tail light appears to be larger than the one under the passenger side tail light. It seems that aftermarket bumpers never fit as well as oem. The gaps are always off or wavy as is the case here. Not digging the body colored interior trim or the aero kit or the wheels or the tail lights... Sorry man, I know you probably worked very hard on it, but it is about as opposite my taste as it gets.

At least you did the right thing by removing the BMW badges.

I think it looks pretty good as a finished product. The only things I don't like are the clear tail lights, the mirrors and I've never been a fan of the rear bumper from the aero kit but over all it doesn't look as ricey as I thought it would. Good job.

I think the main problem is the paint. The color anyways, the quality looks nice from the pictures.

The wheels would look not to bad on a stock black X.

That rear valance needs tips coming out, preferebly quad or even the rectangular ones on 4.6/4.8's. Not that you'd tow with it, but is the center piece removable to access anything like a euro hitch? The size of the mirrors is acceptable, but the lines on the front of them don't fit anywhere on the car. I've always liked that burnt orange/bronze color, I thought about going something similar on my bike.

I never understood why some people seek public approval

Since your probably seeking comments and not opinions, there are a few words that come to mind:

Fugly
Ghetto
Tacky
Barrio
Cheap
Afterthought
Overspray

Flame on-

Was that a customer build or, a spec job, or your own?

I haven't been feeling well lately but I actually like the new look!

Clean and simple and I can see why you went with the clear tails, the OEM just really wouldn't cut it...

How about some engine bay shots.
