Hi Guys!
I'm new here. Second time poster, long time reader
It's been a looong winter, been waiting for better weather to start with the modding.

Finally had some sun and nice weather so thought what the hell, let the modding begin
Just finished retrofitting the oem m-tech kit and the ipod interface.
The next mod will be shadowline. Want a tint aswell but not sure, the law here is that you can't tint the frontdoor windows.
Not sure if it's gonna look kinda weird with just the back windows tinted.

Looks great!

Correct me if I'm wrong. It looks like the rear suspension sits a little lower then the front in the forth picture.

The diffusior is matte black. Thought that it looked a little flat with silver and always loved the look of the e46/e39 diffusor.

I have an E60, I was also concerned about tinting without tinting the front door windows. But now that 's it done, I actually really like it. I would recommend it, but never would have before I had it done.
