negative on kid grills, get that thing slammed.

How are M5 kidney grills different?

the armoral tire gel is the best... look at my thread thats why i use they look super wet.

i dont want something with extreme shine or super wet look because that stands out to much. i like the mcguirs because it has the shine but just the right amount

-the M5 grills are wider heres a comparison between mine and the M5
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y174/Ridgefootball80/CompareM5vs540i.jpg for $70 it gives the car an agressive look

+1 on the kidney grill
-1 on the tint
-1 on the tails

Keep the stock tails & don't go so dark on the tint. You don't want cops to think you're "one of those"

Thats nice and clean. Come and make my 5 shine like that, haha.

i didn't mean that as an attack... and yes, if you did it right it should be smooth... i'll tell anyone.. theres not a lot of skill in actually doing this... it's just knowing HOW to do it and WHAT to use... the products, the types of towels, etc... again i'm not knocking you...
