    Looks great! Not a fan of the smoked tails and I think it could use a drop, but everything else is sharp.

    I really like the roof!! and to go with the black and white 'theme' you might also consider blacking the mirrors. As with the ride height, you could stand to go down at least a couple of inches! Good work so far!

    love the black roof on the white car!

    I wish I could get the sound of a sub but I would never be able to keep one in my trunk, I've always got stuff to haul

    paint your trim black...it was obviously black stock because of the picture you uploaded that showed the trim. It also just looks better and adds good contrast to your already black/white theme going.

    what trim are you talking about, the bump guards on the doors and bumpers, it was white stock, and I will paint it once i get new bumpers

    and i haven't thought about the mirrors, maybe ill do them tomorrow

    The car looks excellent. How did you go about the de-badging? I'm concerned that I won't be able to blend any imprint left from the badge in? Was this a problem?

    I heated it with a heat gun then just peeled them off. then i just peeled off all the double sided tape and just waxed the spot it used to be. There was no imprint left behind.
    *The car has been garage kept since the day we bought it (with 7mi)

    I think the car looks really clean as it is, and it is hard to find a really clean car that has not been converted to look like an m5...with that said, i would leave the bumper as they are. And I would leave the strips like they are also, but like I said before the car looks great.

    Looking good. Amazed by the Plasti-Dipped roof. How is it holding up?

    Every time I look at a white BMW i feel it should have a black top on it...your car is nice especially the CSL's.
