    lol....
    very nice - u've given me ideas of what i can add to my car...

    where did you get the lip and the back spoiler?

    the blue angel eyes look divine - also what kit are you using for the yellow fogs?... ive been contemplating this mod due to less light after i blacked out my headlamps!

    gr8 going.. car looks very $eXy!!!

    oh yeah - i like the wheels in the first few pics... been toying with that idea too for a while - outer chrome - inner black!

    Nice 7. Love the angel eyes but not really feeling the eyebrows...

    The foglights look like the stock units to me.

    Very nice!

    Good work, but not a fan of smokes. Makes the car too hard to see.





    Totally stock 97 740iL except for SatRad

    Ditch the eyebrows, smoked taillights and get better wheels.

    edit: either respray your front bumper trim flat black or use some back to black from autozone cause the center piece you put in stands out bad against the faded side impact strips.

    The white one looks just like mine only its a pre facelift. I think w140s will be classic like the e38s. Makes me want to get another, those cars sure carried presence.
