well we have other cars and projects we are working on so we havent been able to hit it with 100% of our efforts lol....usually working on it at the close of the day. i would say like one more week. i sure miss driving her tho lol

the LCI headlight mods i have planned are KILLER! i will probably PM you for some ideas and im hunting down some SMD LEDs for the eyebrows...

add to that ive decided to swap out for an LCI M5 front bumper and add vorsteiner style front splitters that i will personally mold in then wraps....should be killer...but time consuming.

anyone want to buy and OEM pre-LCI M5 front bumper with PDC???
