**PIX OF MY NEW MODS**

I finally got the Aero Kit painted and installed for my E70. I also had a custom LED bar installed under the center rear diffuser of the Aero Kit. A custom mount was built by my bodyshop and the wires were tapped inside the car, for when I put the car in reverse. Pretty awesome, I must say. This is an industrial/military grade LED bar and is brighter than many HID's. At night, it looks like daylight when I'm backing up. Being that the x is my wife's car, I now feel much better when she's backing up and relies heavily on the camera (I'm going to shoot a video of this light in action, so you can see how powerful it is).

I must say that the Aero Kit on this car is subtle and clean with Jet Black. I like it a lot.

Last mod will be to have the running boards painted matte black. That will be it.

Here is everything that's been done to the truck. Everything was either custom painted, powdercoated or sprayed.

(*Note: I dropped the car last year with the custom rear links and front H&R Springs. The wife absolutely hated how it felt and it went back to stock height 3 days later. LOL! Oh well -- you can't win them all. Hahahaha!)

I like. I think you need the black mesh grille in the front as well as black running boards to complete the look.

I've been thinking about that. The top mesh grill is easy to remove, but the bottom one with the PDC sensors is a pain.

You dont have to remove it if you dont like. cover all around and spray it carefully, it does look pretty good as well.

I don't know why but the first thing I thought of when I saw this pic was SRT-8

Loooks great, nice and clean. Paint silver mesh in the bumper and get M-sport roof rails.

Yes, except for the fact that the SRT8 is a beast and will destroy my X.
