My Ride: '05 545 Titanium Silver, Black Leather - Nav, Logic 7, Cold weather. Mods: Carbon filter removed. M5 iDrive knob. Umnitza license plate LEDs. MP3 40% 3M tint ACS Anti-Roll(sway) bars RPI Scoop G-tech Pro RR CF Roundels CF Wheel caps

I spent the afternoon at Impressive Auto in Maspeth, NY and look what I came away with!

(There is a few things that need to be finished off but I was missing a couple of things - my own fault. We had a miscommunication on the license plate but that will be sorted out next week)

Guess who I saw there? Member Advans + friend (Complaining about my lack of M-tech rear!)

Ok since the holes were still there I let them mount the plate

I almost forgot the ACS spoiler on the rear now! I'll take more pics of that when the car is clean.

The almost finished product!

Yes thanks again! I got them to change the air handling pieces just behind the bumper which took them a lot more time than they planned on, I still have a lot of screws and bits that they reused from the old one.
