You too Nerwyll! Good times :thumbsup2:

And thank you all, it seems a lot of M5 owners aren't into exotic colors unless they paint the whole car, so I thought I'd throw some yellow in there.

I have some different wheels in all black coming and some exhaust fun too.

I'll update as soon as it happens!

[John Beckham]

You're not on K dubs yet? Your stance is perfect with the 21's, I imagine you're on H&R's then,

[FASTDAD702]

:thankyou::thankyou: guys!!! gonna try make it happen asap H&R are great i want it lower :devillook: you mention CF truck and hood? who you planning on going with in the future on that mod? i was thinking of the ericson cf trunk :drool:future way way in the future hahaha

[John Beckham]

You're welcome :)
It would look unbelievable lower.. so make me a believer :D
I'm kind of over the CF hood considering our hoods are aluminum, unless I made my own that would be lighter.
I would only do the Ericson trunk if i did a CF trunk, so I might just have to make a spoiler in the meantime that gives the OE one the same look
