I like your vehicle with the stock grille b/c its white and i think the white cl grille looks silly...however, i think the cl grille looks the best on black!

and yes i think we can all agree that rollnnn has a sweet ride! and i still want those rims! haha

Ghetto slam? LOL that's a first.. As someone wise once said, "If you ain't rubbin', you ain't low enough!"

Looks good Roland! I miss my CL grille, but after my front end collision, I didn't have the money to get another.. Do what you want, either way it's gonna be clean as hell!

OT: FRANK you get your tips yet?

Formula1 Pinnacle is the Ceramic Tint, i hear its the one of the best, up there with Huper Optik. I talked to a couple tinters and they told me to go with F1 instead of Huper..

yeah, Gloss black, gotta find a good cheap place... any suggestions guys?

lookin good, Roland!

I prefer the stock grille over the CL as well. everything on your list sounds great, do it!

let me know if you find any place that does F1 for a good price. I've been looking for the M5 as well and the best I found was this shop in Huntington Beach (I'm forgetting the name).

rubbing tires has nothing to do with choosing to "ghetto-slam" the car. you can have tire rub without ghetto-slam.

got the tips. no car.

performance is one thing, however ghetto-slam also look stupid unless you are carrying passengers which does it naturally.

Hey the whole ghetto-slam is out anyway.

Get some 26" rims and lift that puppy so it looks like a 4x4 truck. Oh yeah, don't forget to hang something underneath it and put MasterCard or other corporate logos all over it.

Oh dear, maybe I have been working in an urban environment too long....

I dont know how much better it is quality wise, but for keeping the heat out, you cant beat it. You should check out the heat test they do with the ceramic tint. Id totally recommend it for Florida. I havent done it yet, im still trying to decide if i want to tint, everyone tells me not to. Now that summer has past, i might wait awhile..

Im driving to work this morning on the 710 heading north when a piece of metal pops up and gets thrown in front of me, this is some bull****!!!!!


sorry for the blurry blackberry pic..

It took 2 chunks out of my front lip, the big one is about 3/4 of an inch wide and 1/4 inch deep.... I didnt really check it out too much, since i was already running late, so hopefully it didn't do any other damage....
