My Ride: 2004 Mystic Blue Metallic 545I
I went to my paint guy and dropped my body kit off on monday.
he painted all four pieces for me for 400$.
I spent about 7-8 hours installing the whole kit by myself.
And I had no idea what I was doing.
with a little help from a few DIY guides on here (thanks BTW)
I got it all done
heres some pictures

Sweet! Doesn't it feel good when you do something like that on your own?
When is the exhaust coming?

Once I got started it all went real smooth though.
It will be like 2 weeks before I get the exhaust.
I need to get a dent fixed on my drivers side rear fender first

If you don't mind me asking, which exhaust are you getting? I have plans to do the quad exhaust myself and at the same time change out the bumper for the M5tech... The hard part for me is deciding which.

most likely I'll just have a dummy tip for the other side fabricated.
I dont think i can do two mufflers without loosing power?
Any insight on this anyone?

Well, this is what my friend Waco did. I am leaning more towards this kind of setup. I just don't know which exhaust/tips to chose from.
