My Ride: 545I SMG
Its been a long time due. I bought the car in Jan. and knew the stock bumpers had to go. Didn't want to go over board with the modding and wanted to have a OEM look close to the M5. I ended up going with the M5 rear, Mtech sides, and M5 Style front. As you'll see the exhaust has yet to be finished (soon).
Those who were involved in my project and I'd like to say thanks to:
Joe @ Trinityautosport - Wheels
Mountain View Tire (Rancho Cucamonga) - Tires/Mounting
Mary @ Ceres Auto Body (Fontana) - Painting
I'll also be doing a photoshoot soon so more pictures to come...
I bought H&R sport springs and debating whether to drop it or not. Mind you the Mrs drives the car too....
