Sweet!!! I love the RS kit for a long time but I know that they are very expensive. I have my driver side wheel cover rip off tooo. I guess i was driving too hard....i bet u drive hard too. Why don't u paint the mesh black? I thinik it will look even better. What exhaust are u running now than? So u have two muffler or just one? Love the new look!

thanks I love your car too.

I think the stainless mesh grille's the best part about this kit. It makes the lip on the bumper stands out as well. I'm running OBX R stainless exhaust for the BMW 3, but had it chopped and fit on the car with dual tip. I know it's product but I feel no performance lost and it sounds great. It's the same exhaust used on trust203's car. There's only 1 muffler.

Sweet, maybe if u remove your resonator it will even sound better. Btw, do you have the RS trunk spoiler or if thats the c55 spoiler? IS hard to tell in the picture. Keep up the good work.

I actually put my resonator back because it was too loud. My ear was ringing after a day. Now it sounds perfect. Louder and more throaty sound than before and not annoying.

that's the C55 spoiler. I was waiting to see how will this spoiler look with the kit before I decide if I want to get a RS spoiler or not. The C55 spoiler actually matches the RS kit quite well.

Only thing left to do are the hood and trunk emblem.

Hood......I wonder what are u going to do to your hood. So u are not going to use your HRE 448R? U had them sold or u still have them? I think your HRE will also look good with your new look.

Frank, did you have a body shop paint your grill or did you do it yourself?

Very Nice! I especially like the rear bumper and dual exhaust. It does look sinister. I agree with Nico, you should drop it lower cause it's damn hot! I am sweating your ride big-time… ...I'm still rollin’ stock.
