Perfect....but no Umnitza front?
I had a choice either buy the Umnitza bumper myself and have it painted I install it myself for about $650 or let the insurnace company install a new OEM bumper, new PS cooler, AC Condensor & Radiator along with the clear bra in 30 days for only $500. So I decided to let them make it like new and they did. Its not an M5 look but looks good stock and a lot less work for me. I have 3 other cars to mod and prefer to leave this one as is for now.

Hey Johnny.. I can't believe I missed this thread when you originally posted.. It was good meeting you on Saturday! I think we did a great job getting the BBQ grille going!

We had a great time meeting everyone. Tony & Vickie did a great job organizing the event. Thanks for the great food. We need to do this again next year or sooner.

My Ride: My Bimmer's info is in my sig, so I'll tell you about my garage toy. It's a 1997 Porsche Boxster. The car is black on black and I have replaced every single thing on the car (interior, exterior, drivetrain, suspension) except for the sheet metal and the convertible top (both of which will be next I guess). I love my Pcar more than any other car I have ever owned and will probably keep it for the rest of my life. Porsche. There is no substitute.

It could have been a lot worse. On the Porsche board I frequent, these shots appeared....
