Looks awesome. You gonna do the 3rd brake light as well? How well do the headlights shine through?
And what state do you live in? Is it legal to do? I feel like it wouldn't be here in NJ lol.
Yeah I forgot the 3rd brake light. lol And they are still extremely visible!Supposedly the tint is MOT approved but I'll find out soon enough! lol

Thanks! My buddy Erik has been doing vinyl work for over 7 years. He's good! lol Same guy that wrapped my trim.

Plasti Dip yes. Spray paint no. lol You must not be familiar.
I want to get one soon, but I'm trying to fight a misfire on cyl. 1 and 8. The CEL is gone after the tech reset and I changed my plugs, but still slight misfire at times randomly so ordered all new plug wires to get that out of the way since I'll have the engine exposed anyways. Want to correct the problem before tuning and getting that excitement like you haha...keep up the good work man
Same reaction I had too man hahah. Thing was, I was just trying to make an aggressive pass in traffic, and I said, "whoa." Immediately, best bang for buck on our M278 engine for sure.

That sucks about the misfires! And I honestly feel she's faster than my E55 was even modded. And the Audi it just straight murders. lol

For what you can get these things for and how they react with little modding it's bonkers! lol
Got the H&R springs in today! They go on tomorrow. Mainly went with them because if I go coilovers I'll be stuck in sport mode forever. lol We'll see how it turns out. Might have to do coils regardless.
Nice work, just need to powdercoat the exhaust tips in gloss black to complete the blackout ...
Thanks man! And yeah it's on the list. Lol Ordered some blacked out Texas plates too. Gonna be a few weeks before they come in. Up at the shop now dropping off the car for the springs. Wish me luck! Lol
Got the H&R lowering springs installed today. Came out perfect! Love the fitment! No rubbing at all either amazingly. lol Really happy with the car. But I have more tricks up my sleeve
Whelp. Had to order coilovers. Lol Now that the springs have settled I get rubbing with a passenger in the rear. Should have left it and told people they can't ride because of the way my car is setup. Lol
Got the coilovers installed. Little bit less comfort but this thing loves corners now! Overall the ride is still really nice. Still debating on getting the KW module. More pics later.
