Big Thanks to Chapparone Auto Body
I just want to publicly thank Mark Jr. and the crew at Chapparone Auto Body for fixing my e55. I had planned on having a simple e63 front conversion done, but my plans were expedited after an idiot side swiped me (taking out the two passenger side doors). The car looks great and Mark was stellar through the process. I will post pictures later today, but suffice to say they did a great job and the car looks killer.

Also, big thanks to Gary / Suvneer for a nice front bumper and rear diffuser ...

The back needs some work. Run a thin strip of black silicone sealant where the carbon meets the body. Smooth it out and it will look more natural. Also have your exhaust pipes brought out. I always hated when people just put on the carbon and leave the exhaust stock in placement. Other then that, car looks clean brotha.

There is no gap with the rear diffuser - it is just the shadow effect. Thanks for the guidance though...

Yeah me too lol...the exhaust was moved / extended, but to each his / her own...Some like the exhaust tips extending way far out, I don't and as such did it as so...the tips are aligned right at the edge of the diffuser...

The purpose of the thread was to thank Chapparone for doing a great job (you should have seen what the car looked like before), not to brag that I have the best e55 on the block lol...

E55 w/ goods, Z32 Project underway
Looks good, even the rear looks good, and I'm a picky *****. Tough to tell how well the paint came out, I can find fault on 90% of body work, but that is me. Dark is easy to blend so you have that going for you. Car looks good, glad your happy with it.

Love the work done to the car and I love the black opal paint. I have the same color on the S.

If you like it bro, thats all that matters. I was just pointing out things I suppose I would change. Doesnt make your E55 any less of a bad ***. It looks great.
