Great looking vehicle. Yep the complexity is certainly up a notch or two, especially with those packages.

This is based on personal preference, but IND sells from amber reflector deletes. I bought a pair and the paint match was perfect. I prefer the cleaner look while some prefer the contrast that the ambers offer.

I'll keep those in mind. Personally I've always been preferential to clear reflectors than painted, but I don't think anyone makes those for the F15. Too bad.

- Got the TPMS sensors swapped from the E70 wheels to the F15 and vice versa so installed the shoes on their new respective wearers. $160

I think we've taken enough of the femininity out of it visually now. Only thing I am considering is painting the calipers (burnt copper like all our other cars) and painting the front grille surrounds black. Going to leave the silver finish on the slats but the surrounding chrome doesn't match anything else. We'll see.

Next weekend the E70 comes in for its new transmission so the F15 will be out of the garage for the next 2 weeks at least I'd guess.
