These were posted on the "other" board but wanted to share them with my friends at BimmerForums too... here is the first of the batch!! This first pic is actually one taken earlier in the day on Thanksgiving with my younger brother's Black E46 and my cousin's silver E46 coupe. A nice side shot showing the newly molded bumpers... what do think ?

you need 1 more post to add pics. I know it sucks but it's to prevent spammers from showing us bad things.

That's beautiful, very tasteful! Just a quick (off-topic) question, can E36 M3 mirrors be put on anything? They're basically the best looking side mirrors on any car ever...they would be my ideal mirror.

That looks good as long as it stays like that and doesn't start cracking cuz then it'll look like shit. Just speaking from experience.

My fogs are my secret pride and joy of the front end... they are these fairly hard to find NON-fluted (aka totally clear) fog lights :buttrock Got them from some online parts store that specialized in German parts and they had a set for like $140 so I snatched them up. I like it when people pick up on those subtle overlooked mod's... good job! :D

And yes that is Rascemesh... technically. I got it off of the owner/founder of Racemesh back in the day when he just made like 3 or 4 of them for a few of us guys on Roadlfy and it was actually a while before it was ever called that.... just a lil' Mod backround story :laugh

Nice man. Care to provide a link? I got some non-fluted 96-2000 fogs off ebay when my OEMs broke because I figured if they broke, no biggie, because I plan on getting an M5 bumper anyway. The glass on both fogs cracked on install.

Oh ya well that reminds me... not because I feared breaking them during instillation but because I feared that road debris might break them while driving I purchased and installed this thick a$$ clear bra type material from some truck accessory website. This stuff would look damn disgusting on the paint as its soooo thick but you cant even tell they are on the fog lights.... 10k+ and no problems and still look like the day I bought them!!! :buttrock:buttrock

I don have it itemized but here is what I had done...

Hood repainted
Front bumper repaired (broken fog light bracket) painted and molded
Rear bumper apron cut and kit molded, installed, painted
M5 mirrors painted and installed...

Total:
$1700

The molded looks looks great, that line it had before was horrible.

What was the cost for just the molded work done?

I plan on it, as soon as it isn't absolutely depressingly disgusting outside :cry

Also I don't have my exhaust on yet so I am kind of embarrassed to have the empty cut out in photo
