It should get here at the beginning of next week. WOOHOO!

Anyone want to help with the install? lol

Now what to do about my wife? The pulley story won't work on her...she knows cars. (that's for you e60 forums veterans )
Tell her the parts help make your car run more efficient. It does... LOL.

I received my order from RPI yesterday. I already dropped off sec 3 of the exhaust to be powder coated today. (matte black) It should be ready by Monday. I'll be installing everything at once next week!

Tint goes on tomorrow. Still deciding on wheels...

I love my beast!

The key to dealing with the little woman is this...

If what you spend on toys has absolutly no impact on the household then do what you want / when you want. Dont ask. Notify.

If the $$'s are an issue - dont do it. It will justify compulsive female spending.

Big ass boats, Racecars & Costa trips all apply.
