Congrats on the new whip and I'm not going to lie, my jaw has been dropped for all of the mods you are doing and plan on doing. ....I'm not on here much but came across your thread and I'm hooked to it. Cant wait to see the full transformation and the progress along the way

Yea, I know exactly what you mean. When I first installed it I had to add the disclaimer that I knew it looked out of place until the other design elements come to fruition. Once I add the lowering springs, yellow calipers, completely redone headlights, LCI tails, gloss black wheels, etc the hood will effortlessly tie the whole theme together

More updates to come, I'm a busy bee in the garage this wknd...

i got everything done today except for the front and rear bumpers now...
i took some time and tried out an idea i barrowed from a member over on M5board who had his grills done white to match his alpine white M5...it was a little loud, but unique. i figured here w/ the matte anthracite it wouldnt be as loud but still very unique. took a long time and attn to detail to wrap those little fins with vinyl but i think its very clean....

its either going to be this or gloss black....but i think im going to leave it color matched like it is here...
can i get some opinions?

Truthfully, it's such a subtle accent that I wouldn't have noticed it unless I was looking at your car in person. But since I know it's been wrapped I like the idea. I say leave it
