Good job!

Is the trunk star glued on or did you have to fill in any holes after removing it?

you need to fill holes. I was gettinng the bumper and spoiler sprayed so I took the opportunity.

650rguy- there are several reasons I didn't buy an E55

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

SICK!!! Beautiful. Great choice with the color of the paint on the brakes. If I ever got a 911, Lapis Blue would be one of my top choices (lol, looking into one right now actually, but it's just a thought). IMHO, the bumper looks way better w/o the washers, cleaner look. Enjoy her .

kar don - center caps didn't ship with the rims. They're on their way. My front bumper was bought used, and it didn't have the cut outs for the washers. It actually worked out for me since I don't use the washers in CA anyway, so it looks cleaner w/o the cutouts.

Clayton - Thanks, Bud! Wish you were out here, so you, Eric, Winston, and myself could have a little photoshoot

Enrico - Thanks! Still waiting to see your car at SonicMS to get that drop...I know it's just a matter of time

To the people I don't know - Thanks for the nice words

Edit: Just got a message that my center caps have arrived. Gives me a reason to take a new set of pics

Man, the more I look at those wheels, the more I like them. I was gonna go with that style originally too, but the deal fell through. Glad I didn't now because those things just scream BBK and without those massive brakes, my car would've looked silly.

Love the way yours turned out.

I need an ELM.

C - sds + elm FTW! You need BBK in your life.

Not sure what kind of paint was used on my BBK. Sonic took care of it
