Nice 
, car looks great, You will really like the Sprint Booster didn't believe how much a difference
it would make until I installed it. The ACS replica rear deck spoiler is hot.
When I was over in Germany last fall I saw almost all the BMW's were de-badged is
this done from the dealer or just a common change the owners make?

Thanks guys!
dbusiness, you are right. Most of the German owned BMWs and even a lot of MBs are de-badged. As I understand it, it is a common option the owners order...

Wow! What a transformation! Great job. Not a huge fan of the wheels, but everything else looks awesome!
Unreal when you look at the BEFORE and AFTER shots.
