My first mod!!

it's not that big of a deal. I'm getting the windows tinted (20%), I'm still debating if I'm gonna do any other mods. I've been thinking about saving for an 03'-04' E55 in a few years. Not sure though, that's why I want to wait on putting a lot of mods into it.

mods...huh?

I cannot help it...they have to go on the car!!!!

My windows went limo, then the springs went down, then rims, then pulleys, intake, exhaust and a chip!

Then I realized I did not need no stinking badges, then got the door pins and peddles. I think that is it

For my final mod...I lost that stupid piece in the front air damn!!!! WTF
