My Ride: 2006 530xi angel eyes upgrade, 5% tints...more to come
Well I picked up this '06 530xi two months ago and with the help of this forum I have transformed it into my dream car! Thanks to everyone for putting up with my newbie questions and thanks to everyone who posted DIY threads, I did all of these mods myself, without your help I would have had some real headaches!
Oh and I know I have chrome trim, and yes I hate it! I will be getting shadowline very soon!!!!!lol
mods: -20" Beyern black mesh wheels (non staggered--xi)
-Mycarr Ice angel eyes (trinity)
-smoked led taillights (umnitza)
-debadged
-black and white roundels (trinity)
-black and white carbon fiber wheel caps (trinity)
-5% tint all around ( rethinking that one lol)
-matte grilles (trinity)
-led liscence plate lights (trinity)
-charcoal filter removed
Future mods: - shadowline, 6k fogs, H&R springs, breyton front lip, rpi exhaust
-----here are some before and after pics.... I'm sure you can tell the difference
enjoy!
