I'm also thinking of getting mine redone by him. I think his prices are very cheap. For a 4-dr car, everything except the front windshield, he only charges $220. Everything behind the driver would be $170. Let me know if you're interested.

And congrats on the new car!

Thanks for the recommendation! I haven't decided how dark I want to go, I'd like to just dark enough not to get pulled over I'll PM you when I'm ready.

Also, I've been pouring over the forum about the motorized front license plates. I've only seen one example where it was mounted on an e60, but I'd like to chat with someone who has done this. Does anyone know who on this forum I could chat with about this?

I haven't had time to take any good pics yet, but here is one I got with my iPhone (it's a little blurry). I'll post more ASAP.

Not sure if I'll use the lane departure warning or the night vision, but they are cool to have. The only problem... it's night and I can't take any pictures! I'll try to post some tomorrow.

My black kidney grills are already on the way, now I just need a recommendation for window tint in San Jose!

Thanks to everyone who has helped me over the last year find my dream car. I held out for what I wanted, it took a while, but I got it!
congrats. The wait makes it even more rewarding. Enjoy
