Niice, was it a great disparity in trade in value and the price of this car ?

it's pretty funny that you didn't take the headlight off to do the AEs but took them off to do the Euro Stickers... to each his own. I would have lost a hand before I could get that bulb in there.

little more detailed updates:

Heres the old frankenstein exhaust the previous owner decided to put on, it was a left section of e60 m5 eisenmann, tips been cut off and re-angled to fit, also left tip was welded shut. Welding job on the exhaust was just sad




Stopped by at minute muffler and got that crap removed and stock welded back on, no regrets



found a great price on a set of oem 172's, cant wait to mount them

got my car tinted all around 40%, taillight tinted with their grey light tint, also the upper eyebrow on the headlights tinted with the same taillight tint, and rest of tht headlight/fogs 3m'd. Also added like before the euro stickers for the front corners to get rid of the orange reflectors

Also lowered the car a bit more all around, and got bluetooth enable/software updated from calgary bmw.

heres how it looks today





Still got lots of stuff planned, still need to find round airbag and side controls for my e60 m5 steering wheel. Will update as i mod.
