I Want to see what kind of personal touches everyone's been adding to their cars to make them just a bit more "for them". Feel free to share!

I won't bother with things like my radar install, lowering etc. I did however paint my roof carbon flash metallic which is somewhat unique. I say somewhat because I'm not alone with this mod. Others here have done the same. I've still got to add the carbon flash between the roof and the rear window which may get done tomorrow.

Mr. Bimmerborn,
Has your friend entertained the idea of making evil eyes available?
Thanks.

Here you go.
Car came with the base Silver Wheels.
Powder Coated them, added the RPI Under Hood Kit and did my custom $4.99 Wheel Mod. Also covered the Airbag Warning Labels with CF look Vinyl and added the Crossed Flag Cargo Cover.
Waiting for my RPI CF look Painted Plenum Cover as we speak.
Getting close to where I want it, but close is a moving target.

The big black one in the center is removable and only in place when our club does a cruise. (looks a lot better without it!)
