I wish you made that exposed section of CF - the "V" shape - wider; like, so that it ends on the next ridge. You could wrap the portion of the bumper too - to match the lines. IMO it would look 10x as bad ass... but hey, not like I have anything to say against this - your car is definitely in my top 5 favorites on the forum (and I don't even like the ACS kit!)

i was even thinking about wraping the bumper or paint part of the bumper black but i decided not to because i am getting mtech front and it would just look weird...
i just wanted to make it look like it was finished where the grills are...
idk i might paint my grill silver to see how it would look...
thanks for compliment!! hope i will keep in your tope 5

My Ride: 545 modded the F out
I cant believe I still haven't ran into you or even any other worthy e60's around my area. How often do you make your way up to DC? I really liked all the subtle mods prior to this, but Im eager to see how it all turns out. Clean tho.

Rims will probably have to wait till the spring - and that's, of course, provided I keep my car that long my biggest issue with this car has been the drop. On an Xi, ppl say, coilovers is the only way to make sure the car retains all of it's handling capabilities. Anyway, sorry for the threadjack.
