Hi again. almost done with the car, got the body work and stance done and just need to put on some new wheels and exhaust. Tell me what you think about my progress so far and hopefully when everything is put together I can get a real photo shoot but for now here is a few point and shoot pics.
Thanks & enjoy.

Looks great man! What coilovers are those? How do they ride? Is ride height easily adjustable?

I went with nex coilovers. I got a deal on them that I could not pass up. To my surprise they run great, almost like stock. Ill have to have Olek(525it_feen) co-sign on that one since he was surprised as well after a test drive. And I can also go another 2inch lower if I want.

E39dream also has the Nex coil-overs.
Pictures of the coil-overs?
What size wheels/tires are you running?
Looks great!
Thanks!

looks very nice man! Do you have pics of the NEX kit you are running? Just curious if they look any different than mine, I think they changed the design so you can drop the front down a bit further than the set I have.

The 17s are cool but I think I will enjoy 19s more.
I also uploaded the pics bigger, that way the bumpers, front and rear lights can be viewed better.
thanks..
