Very nice. Looks exactly like a BS. However, all these shots look like renderings, not a real car. Is it really finished, or are these speculations of what it will look like?

^^ Yeah, I know. I read the thread. It just looks really bad in these photos. Doesn't look real!! The photos completely look like renderings. Also, there is a lot of bashing in this thread.
The car looks good and I'll leave it at that.

I'm thinking of doing a similar mod, but was curious black series has no daytime running lights. what did you do to the stock setup? Did you have them pull the wires completely, or just tuck them inside? And do you get any errors for the DRL missing?

I did a BS conversion as well. You can leave the wires inside the bumper (I just zip-tied them) but you will need to add a resistor to the end of the plug to put a load on them so that you don't get an error "replace fog bulb" on your dash.

How about tucking them inside with the bulbs then taping them over black.

Yes, even turned off you will get error. The BS overcomes this by not using fogs as DRLs. There are no fogs and if there is a way to re-program it, my technician couldn't figure it out. He was able to solve all of my other error codes (ie. parking sensors) but this was the one that he couldn't solve through a program so I just added resisters, it was an easy fix. That being said, tucking them inside and taping over them would be even easier so sounds like a good solution to me.

at least I have a better idea of my options when I get to that junction. I always keep telling myself if i'll mod i'll do the one that doesn't open up a can of worms but it always does.

When you had it it looked like this...
Now it looks like this! (Notice they put orange side markers back in, awful wheels compared to the ones you had and they even threw a BS badge on it -something I admired you for not doing!)

What a shame! I think the car lost its charm with these wheels. Side markers can be replaced anytime so no big deal.
