I personally prefer the facelifted OEM grills that you have. In combination with the LED angel eyes looks menacing in the mirrors of the guy in front of you.

Like mine? :p
I just put eBay set of halogen bulbs in bright white and coded the intensity to very high. The grill is dipped.

Drivers Side Suspension Detail
Well, this weekend I let my OCD run wild and spent the good part of today taking on the beginning task of doing a full undercarriage detail. Today's goal was to complete the drivers side suspension. Next up will be the passenger side followed by pulling off all the undercarriage panels and detailing those. The goal is to get a "like new" look of the suspension to make it easier to work on and track any leaks later down the road should one develop.

Materials use:
- Diluted Simple Green
- Sonax Wheel Cleaner
- Brakleen
- Assorted Brushes
- Scrubbing Pads
- Fine Steel Wool
- Adams Undercarriage Spray


Front Suspension:

holy cow.....great cleaning job......wish you live down the street so you can clean mine X5.....ha..ha...ha...

Socale39 09-14-2015 12:35 PM

Haha, thanks guys. Trust me this job is not one I enjoy except when I'm done and see the results. I was a dirty mess afterwards. Still have the passenger side to tackle but that will have to wait a couple weeks. In the meantime I'll have some small updates to share.

I'm also going to hit up my friend who has a shop to see if I can use it after I've done a majority of the cleaning to finish things off and reach the places I couldn't easily get to.

Lux H8 160 Angel Eyes Installed
Seeing as I don't have the all so desirable LED headlights my options were to spend the money for a retrofit or purchase some LED bulbs and save some cash. Obviously looking at the title here I opted for bulbs, at least for now. So far I'm pretty impressed and while they aren't comparable to OEM LEDs, they are definitely a step above the OEM setup.
