Car looks GREAT! Just one thing... Did you put your winters back on yet? Hahahaha! You know you're going to end up putting them back on, right?

Do you have the aution link for the lip? Did you have it painted by the seller or by the shop? Price for shop to install? Paint?

I have heard some horror stories about having to do some cutting, sanding and a lot of filling!

Lip was a replica off eBay for $65-$90 depending on the seller. The part needed a little extra filler / primer before painting because, (its a replica), but the paint job was about $210 at a local body shop. The good news is the lip was a perfect fit and I'm really happy with it so far. Just do a search on eBay for ACS FRONT LIP E60 and the auctions will pop up.

I was about to throw my 20's on this weekend. That was until I learned that we're about to get 14 inches of snow tonight. WTF?!?!?!?!

Thx Trinity for the new grill. New mods I haven't shown yet are the ACS front lip, ACS pedals, new angel eyes, shadowline trim, and put the wheels back on, (couldn't wait).

All the rest are in the gallery here: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?autocom=ga...&album=2056


I knew I recognized that police car! Saw it this morning on my way to the train station.

Fantastic car btw.

ETA - Go figure that a few people from Barrington stumble upon eachother on a BMW forum. Haha.
