Looks very nice, top detailing job. Probably a tad too much black for mine but hey it's your ride. How are the headlights and fog lights for brightness ??
Just one thing though, the close up of the front fender could probably do with a touch of Black Wow: Black WOW Exterior Trim Restorer Then it's a wrap.

oh it wasnt a detail, just a quick wash. but ill check that out! :)

brightness was significantly less, but if I drive with the fogs on as well as the headlights its managable. Im used to form/function so no complaints here

I can still see some aluminum through the kidneys ;)

Blasphemy!!:D

This is when we find out you're some 6'6", 300lb albino!

5'11, and tan florida native... wait is this a dating service or what?:rofl:

Very nice... where do you hide the drugs and guns? ;)

haha PM me for secret stashes :D

hmmm, what do the headlights look like when turned on the day time?

If you had DRL halos that would look sick with the blacked out lenses.

Are the headlights tinted or is it somesort of sticky film? The reason i ask is I would like to mask the ugly reflector on my 04' headlight.

Nice work!! Looks really nice!

You forgot to do the rotors....they are still shiny...;)

just got new brakes a week ago :)

Wicked! Nice job!

Looks good. I would have left the lights alone or not gone as dark, but to each his own.

Next time you need rotors. buy Centric ones. They come with a black coating on the hub. It will complete your look. :thumbup:

LOL:rofl:


X looks good..

im guessing you get away with tints out there.

here in jersey - if you were to get pulled over they would piont a gun at the X and with the intercom they would ask you to roll all your windows down and stick your hands out...

YES YES!!

they dont around my area.....

Im sure you have heard of the state troopers on the NJturnpike.

nice X, good job :thumbup::thumbup:

black WOW!

Great job :thumbup:

Looks Great! Are the springs plug n play? Eibach right? you got any info on them?

Thanks

Springs were a 6/10 as far as the install goes, the rear were quite a pain to do compared to the front, but if you are mechanically inclined its doable.:thumbup:



As far as the tint goes, its illegal here but there arent many cops out here by the beach and they really dont care much, its pretty laid back actually. *knock on wood* I havent gotten pulled yet. Im going this afternoon to get my whole windshield tinted in 35% so itll be really black.

Thanks again for all the nice words guys!:D

your so lucky.....


good job on your X

Thank you sir!:D

i would add the 4.8 kit on the to do list. looks good so far...keep it up

now that is a serious black-out! all you need is black/white emblems and painted trim. crazy awsome man!

Nice work!!

Please post a review of city driving on the KW's when you decide to pull the trigger on them.

All BlacK....

^^ as if your stock truck is teh awesomness:rolleyes:

I really dont care much about ride, its more of a look preference for me. ;)

I like it! :thumbup:

Clean! Very nice

looks great and unique...well done

Looks good. If it were mine, I'd feel like putting a splash of color somewhere - maybe a lime green pinstripe.

I don't see any rear pics. Did you miss some areas there? ;)

There was a guy here who tinted his windshield as well to 20%.

Windshield just got tinted in 35%, and I didnt post any rear pics bc I was lazy and didnt feel like blurring the license plate. Its all black tho.


I think I might put this thing on air. I cant justify spending $2500 on coilovers and only getting 2.5" of drop. I can lay it out on bags for like $3k...

I correct myself: he did 5% on windshield.
Xoutpost.com - View Single Post - 5% tints

I wonder what Z used Hmmm?

can you post some pics with your lights on??? thnx.

Way overdone.

I'd add some iBrights to your AE's to help with the headlights contrast, and think the $30 black and white roundel kit from eBay would look better on the hood/wheels. Especially the wheels, the solid black roundels wash it out, the black/whites would probably look better.

Actually, what would make that X the sickest would be to go through with the rear airbags and front airstruts and tuck some 21" ferric 215's in there! That would look wicked!

what seller do you recommend for roundels? i went with one from Taiwan, and after 3 months of wear&tear, the surface isnt soft, now its rought and getting foggy.

so yea....got any sellers whos quality can last a long time? full replacement roundels*

I appriciate the advice, I'll start looking into some different lighting options. I definatly think it would be sick to tuck some 21's!! Im gonna have to stick with my 168's tho. Money is kinda tight right now :(

Just looked on eBay, the ones I got aren't listed right now... but they are good quality and look/feel like OEM. I made sure I didn't get any of the cheap ones that are under 1/4" of soft crap.

if you remember the name of the seller just let me know :) ....im never going taiwann again...but there is a place in walnut, that if quality blows i can go give em' a verbal thanks....

nice it looks crazy my 99 528i sport 5 sp was Black on Black n i desides after i bought the car to go more black by painting everything black veryy nice mann i just thought the rims would come out a lil flater cause they are matte black

Looking good but too " Black " for my taste.

Anyway are those 20" or 22" ?

There's something you've done to the car but I can't quite put my finger on it......


BTW you need to add a Kitt-type red light to the front and maybe make it talk as well

Looks outstanding! A few questions...

1. Have you considered the Roundels? I had the Roundels on mine pulled by my Paint Guy and custom painted High Gloss Black and put back in. There is no chrome left on the Roundels, both front and rear.

2. Thoughts on doing the calipers black? That's my next project.

Love what you've done! Great job! :thumbup:

Thank you! Your truck as well is amazing.:wow:

Im not quite sure what you are referring to as far as the roundels?

I thought of doing black calipers just havent really gotten around to it. I stay so busy with school and work just not much time. I recently had BMW do a full brake job so I might try to get around to that soon.

Is that a racist comment??:confused:








Lol just kidding man, they are 20's

it came out nice..i'm just not a big black out guy. like the head and tail lights blacked out dont do anything for me..

Here you go. Take a look at the BMW Roundels on your hood and trunk. Notice the chrome around the circumference? Mine were painted a custom, high gloss black.

Here's the front. I held up a stock roundel so you could compare. See the difference? :D

Here's what the rear roundel looked like BEFORE it was painted. This is an old picture, when the car was VERY dirty, so please excuse the filth. ;)

Here's the rear roundel after it's been painted (2 pics). It's kind of hard to see in this picture, but the rear roundel on the X's have a lot more chrome, as the roundel is much more pronounced(see picture above to compare), compared to the front which is much more flush/flat on the hood.

Here's what the rear looks like from a distance:

Based on what you did to your car, you might want to consider. :thumbup:

you wernt kidding when you said blacked out

Ohh me likey:thumbup:

I blacked out the rear roudel allready, but the emblem is stock. As well as the front emblem is stock as well. I need to get those black ones that you have! :D

The rear roundel is actually one piece, not 2. You would think it's two, as it appears it would be the same as the front plus the additional, thick mount for the rear. Not the case. It's one piece.

I had my body shop pull both roundels from the truck, tape around the logo's and paint all the chrome, high gloss black, followed by a few coats of clear coat. Unfortunately, you can't buy it this way. It has to be custom done. But that's what makes it unique. :thumbup:

heres somewhat a twin of yours
