Bro!

Those flat wraps are SICK! I painted my boat Flat Black back in 2008 and I thought that was sick! These new wraps are on a whole new level!

Looking sweet so far! Those 21's are the biggest I've seen on an M5! Are they staggared? How do you have those door handle lights programmed? Coded in with the parking lights?

thanks man, im glad you like them....they are 10.5 front and 11.5 rear....i just got the final specs on them lol

as for the lighted door handle....im sorry i cannot divulge the secrets on that one....took me like 6 months to perfect and we offer it at my shop now as a custom service....but honestly if you take your door handle and door panel apart with some determination and your thinking cap im sure you can figure it out

I'm not that confident in my DIY skills yet, but maybe one day! How is this 5'er treating you compared to the Goblin? Any reliability issues thus far?

i LOVE it.

realibility issues...some here & there but then again it is a 6 year old V10 luxury sedan over engineered to the max. so i am always prepared for the worst in the back of my mind but never let that keep me from driving her like she's stolen!
