You gotta train up some dudes in Cali to do the stuff before you leave.

Yes sir, it was great catching up with you the other evening. I am sure I'll see you before I take off anyway

After all, you have surprises under your sleeve, hehe.

Simon you are a great guy and have become a friend as well. And as Chris just said your work and knowledge is top notch. I appreciate all you have done for me. If I had never met you my car would be nowhere near what it is today. My bank account would look much better though. LOL!
Good luck to you with your new adventures and stay in touch!!
Haha, well Dean, your car is super styling right now. It is one of the cleanest E60 on this board. Not to mention every time I see it it's literally spotless!

and also once u will re-open the headlights can u add the fins?
can u also CLEAN my glass of the headlights and add that "special" protective headlight film that u wore tell about it from one of your vendors?
please pm..for a $$price
RESPECT
STELI
Yah, Steli call me or send me a PM. Let's move this forward quickly since I pretty much only have January and first week of Feb to do car mods for people.

Now I'm pondering just finishing up the entire retrofit, maybe get a LM2 and some Tails
Nice nice. If you get LCI tails, I can do the brake effects for you and help you through the process so you won't need LM2.

Nice, so that E70 we're talking about via text is your's! Nice, post pics!

I've been thinking about remoting coding and setting up my laptop to allow for this. Would you be open to the idea? I'll be in socal by the end of the month or before. I'll send you a message on FB regardless.
Haha, yah, unless you managed to get all the parts in Jan! I am generally not too keen on doing remote coding since most of the time the remote user has trouble setting up the software up correctly, and it just becomes a time pit for me. Message me, we'll chat about it.

Sure thing Joe!

Yup, no problem! Glad we were able to piece together that back up cam kit! Yes, kitties are family! Coming along for sure.

I stopped procrastinating and got a coding session in today before Simon left. In the process I saw the illuminated fins and other lighting mods he did on another customer's car. Nice clean work! Thanks Simon and glad to have finally met you!

Simon!

Best of luck to you brotha, sounds like one hell of a deal for an overseas gig. Take it easy, come back to CA from time to time.

Thanks man, we never got around getting you coded! I imagine I would be back in a few years maybe, haha. After all, this is where I grew up after all.

Hey buddy congrats and good luck on your new journey! I was wondering if the illuminated fins can be done one a pre-LCI car?
