Update on the mods

Since I got my 4.6is about a month and a half ago I have swapped out the steering wheel for one with SMG paddle shifters, fixed control arms, replaced rack and pinion steering, Dension iPod integration, painted the calipers red with BMW decals, and resonator delete with x pipe. Definitely caught the mod bug, hopefully my bankroll can keep up with my addiction

LOVE the wheel, where did you find it? Did you source the paddles and install etc? Any links to where the paddles are. AWESOME!

Your BMW sticker is on the opposite way.

Nice steering wheel.

That's the first thing I noticed. Mods look great otherwise though!
