providenceleaf, hey i know you from the E60 forum. we have some wicked rides on the e60 forum. they are younger and they would spend their last dimes on mods but very expensive and good mods over there.

Thanks for the complements everyone! I'm looking forward to having this completed soon.

I was considering it until I picked the 128's. I'm leaving a few things like the clear side reflectors, and door badges to complement the light wheels, and I don't want to paint the wheels.

Matte black. I bought the set on ebay.

Good choice. Full black out would just make it look like an FBI van or something.

Nice... I'm also thinking of painting the silver / titanium cross pieces on each side in the lower grille... anyone seen that done ?

I was thinking of doing that as well, but I think it looks ok with the headlights and fogs being clear. Plus I think it may actually take away from the look of the front since it would get lost all black in the front.

Someone should try it...maybe it will be me I'm sure those silver pieces do not cost much since they are separate from the lower grilles. It might be worth the $30-$50 experiment.
