I like the look because its very mean looking. I do have a couple of suggestions that I think will make the car look much better...
1) add some CF or Black BMW Roundels to the center of those wheels, it really needs them.
2) Mtech side skirts
3) Front lip spoiler or the M5 front bumper.
After that, it will be quite complete.

IMHO add silver caps to the wheels that match the silver highlights on the headlights and taillights. Powder coat the exhaust tips black and dump the red reflectors for the black inserts you have on hand.

Praise. I saw your original pics when you first mounted the wheels. Wheels look much better since you lowered it. I am diggin the look 
I would recommend smoke tint for the rear blinker, reverse, and side marker lights. They are just more obvious now that you did the shadowline, IMO. Thanks for the pics!

I am thinking of going the smoked route, its still a bit up in the air for me right now though.

I have an authentic breyton lip that is being painted as we speak. I looked into the mtech skirts and I am really considering them. I just want to see how the lip looks first without any skirts
illtech has some CF roundels that they are giving me to try out. Ill see what I think about them then.
Thanks for the compliment, its really coming together nicely.

Praise, we all have advice for you... cause we wish that was our car! Kinda like the crazy dad at the flag football game trying to revive his inadequate sports career, and live vicariously through his son. Do what you like bro. It's coming together beautifully!
Do what you like bro. It's coming together beautifully!lol that kinda makes sense but i guess we all do that with cars
When my lip and spoiler are on ill take some more pics then and see if im good or if i want to go any further, im almost $10k invested with my mods.
