Lumma Project - Phase 1

[krnnerdboy]

OP you seem to be a stand up guy from the way your reacting and taking your time to respond.....

to KLOOGY...you really seem to be emphasizing what others think in your statements. If thats the case "where I'm from" your mustang is either driven by prostitutes or wetbacks, even if it's got a 1000 whp. Luckily I don't feel the same and I respect all aspects of car enthusiasts, even the ones I don't agree with. Having such strong opinions and feeling that they are facts only causes stereotypes, racism, ignorant behavior, and supremacy groups(as we see here)

To the OP, finish your car already so that I can see what works and what doesn't. Because I sure don't have the cash flow for R&D

It takes soooo long per order. I've order mats, gas/brake pedals and door entrances last month and they are saying that I should have them by the end of this month. Generally, orders take 1-3 months to arrive.

I'll post pics once I put the bonnet and wheels on. All that will be left after that is the kit, exhaust, and side LEDs.

Been waiting for over a month on simply stuff - Lumma carpet, gas/brake pedals and door entrance borders. I'm stuck on wheels right now - been conversing with goodroads, amortech powder coating, coast2coast and RM Customs. Deciding on wheels and what to do to match the rim with my window surround is the HARDEST thing thus far. Its frustrating.

The project isn't a major priority right now. I work a lot further away from my house now (highway driving now, and I'm starting to see knicks after 2 years of blemish free paint!), so I've been looking for a eco car. And, it turns out that the good ole wifey is up to her arse in debt. After some stern talking, I'm accruing that debt on myself to give her a "bail out" (all I can do is shake my head about it and laugh to keep from crying). So, family matters has to come first for now. But, I'm still doing the project bit by bit - just waiting on parts.

Dont mean to hate or disrespect, but there are SO much wrong in this post where you describe some aspects of your family matters.

But seriously, if you are getting so much negative responses from here, if I was you I would just stop posting and forge ahead with my project, why is there a need for you to post every step of the way and get blasted every time?

I agree. I removed the post - can't think straight when I'm exhausted, and I was exhausted when I responded.

But, I'll continue to post phases because there are about 4 ppl who "hate" - they just HATE. It gets obvious when others comment on how much they hate on everything they don't like. I typically ignore them cause angry people stay mad at the world. There are others who who a mature enough to say that its not thier cup of tea. Then there are others who are supportive, even sending notes of encouragement. THIS forum is a strange one. I'm in other BMW forums and there are far more ppl who are modifying BMWs and there is nothing but mad love and support, not the immaturity that is in this forum. On a whole, I have far more support that the "hate" that is in this forum. So yeah, I'm forging ahead, and I'll post once the parts FINALLY get here and I have them installed.

Funny you mention wetbacks and racism in the same sentence. On some forums that kind of language would get you banned. I don't know where you hang out, but I've never seen a prostitute driving a Mustang. Maybe that's because I don't go out looking for those types of women.

Doesn't do much for me, particularly if the cost is considered, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you like it, that's all that really counts. Enjoy it.

You are so disconnected form reality it is absurd.

FINAL LOOK

If anyone wants to see what the exact final look will be:

YouTube - BMW X5 CLR X 330

YouTube - Lumma CLR X530

The ONLY differences will be:

1) my wheels lips will be color matched to the window trim/front grill/mirror assembly
2) I have the rear shaded tailights (with eyelids), but I'm going with the blacked out ones for now
3) my windows are tinted
4) I'll have the "Lumma" decal on the front bumper instead of the license plate

Bonnet, wheels, black mats, gas/brake pedals, entrance borders all pending arrival. All that is left is the kit, exhaust and LED lights for the sides.

Not my taste either. However, I do respect your enthusiasm and all that jazz. I'm interested to see how it comes out when 100% complete.
