Jason: Everything is looking good so far. Did Mr. JR lower the price yet? As for the front bumper sag you can put two self drilling screws under where the fogs are and you'll be set.

As for the inserts, I am taking my stock Kidney grilles apart and using the chrome edged insert in the middle inside my new flat black grilles. Someone on the forum did this and I felt like it looked really cool especially since I have the m6 machined face on the side of the car. I will have pictures tomm, the car is getting everything painted today and then installed etc tomm. I pick the car up at 4 p.m. est.
Call me monday morning to confirm. I just gotta make sure I have everything here.

And for ur bill that u signed $950, that's what u sould go with. I dont see ANY modifications done. But quality does look good.

Went to pick up car today and here is the news. The car looks amazing, but it was not complete. The spoiler was still not installed and he told me that he will have to finish it Monday. He has reduced his price from 1750 to 1500 but I told him we were still 500 off. He is talking to the owner of the shop (his Dad) and we are going to work it out Monday. I basically told him I wasn't paying anymore that that and that I have no problem being billed for the difference and going to small claims court over it.

We will see what happens.

I am supposed to pic up Monday.


On a side note, My mufflers are now exposed on the car and they really look bad. Is there a different muffler that ships with e60's when they get this package? I do not want an exhaust, but what kind of muffler can I get that will make it look right with the new rear?
