i will be wrapping my car soon so kinda yes i guess lol. i will wrap everything except for the vents and the vent surround leaving the CF exposed there...minimalistic but still showing off the CF a bit. i cant wait! (just have to decide on color first)

i ran and got a quick car wash and took some pics...its night time but u can get the idea. honestly, i f#cking love this hood. ive adjusted it a bit already so the fitment is pretty smooth....not OEM flush but damn nice, nothing sticks out or is off to an egregious extent...

(def plan to change the vent screen from that awful aluminum to gloss black)

thanks man, i appreciate it.


right now its kind of out of place as everything else is stock right now. but after this color change, wheel change, lowering kit, lci tails, painting the vents gloss black, it will all come together like voltron and hopefully blow some minds!

Looks great man!

p.s. your right scoop looks a little off to me. It might just be the picture and/or my eyes but it looks like it needs to be adjusted a touch counterclockwise.. just lookin out

i just ordered the vinyl for my ///M Beast....

im drawing inspiration from these two cars here....the matte antracite allows you to still easily see all the body lines....the gloss black accents i have planned will cleanly highlight the design elements of the M5 well. i cant wait to get it crackin this weekend!

i also have figured out where im going to go with my headlights i think as well...but only time will tell on that one....ive got some more tests to do
