Another 'mod'. Dynamic carbon fiber overlays. Did the trunk, hood, steering wheel yesterday. Got to the wheel center caps today (man, my hands froze off by the time I was done. It's COLD out there).

What are 'overlays' if you don't mind me asking? Are they stickers?

bmwbonehead,
I'm seeing a lot more M5/M6 folks over on e60.net i.e. yourself, ALTERnative, V10beast, InterlagosBlueM5. Are you recruiting them here, not that I mind.

Haha. No. I think most or all of them were actually here before me.

Si, senor. Yes, I know. Kind of a cheapy thing to do on an expensive automobile, but since I didn't know exactly what it would look like, I wasn't sure that I wanted to go whole hog and buy brand new CF roundels. But now that they're on, they look kinda cool, although they don't FULLY cover the blue portion of the propeller. Plus, I was told they may start peeling off when the car is washed, so I may end up getting the CF ones eventually.

hey where did you get that roof spoiler? I think its a perfect mix of the ACS and Hamann.. The Hamann being very noticeable while the ACS being a bit to discrete.. this one is just pefect

yes where did you get it?
How much?
It looks very nice

I have real silver overlay on my trims too and I know they will never come off cose there is a think layer of coating on top of the CF, just like the wood trims.
If they where stiker then yes they will comm off within 6 months time so never put sticker fake CF on only real CF overlay.
makes the car 100% sporty looking and hitec

35% Solar Gard from The Art of Tint. Love it. Could probably be even darker, but I like to see at night and don't like getting pulled over by the popo.
