Been watching you guys for a long time on here while as I've been tinkering with my '06 550i. Thanks for all the inspiration, hope to pick my car up today from having the M-tech kit put on and the matte black wrap finished.
Thanks!

The body kit was a ViS Racing kit purchased through Octane Motorsports. It needed a ton of mods, and I would recommend the kit from Trinity if anyone is considering the non-BMW kit. Trinity is complete and made of resin, and has stock grills. I had to buy those separate. The ViS grills were hideous. Full kit was $800+ but the grills and ducts necessary to make it all work put the final cost just over $1k. I should have just bought the BMW kit complete! Live and learn.
Wrap is being done at Iconography in Los Alamitos, CA. Talk to James, he was so helpful in selecting the product (3M) and I highly recommend their work. The final wrap and install of the kit will be appx. $2400.
I'll post more when the car is done. Hopefully today!
