I dunno about the red badging, but the magnaflow might work very well. I think our board owner posted a video of his e39 with a magnaflow, it sounded very nice.

Very nice job on the trim, the red badge adds a nice touch.

Ditch the bottlecaps and get some 17" Style 5's.

i went to pep boys and asked what i should use for the paint, im pretty sure the moron gave me the wrong one cuz it didnt stick, i peels really easily, so ima see how long it last then redo it, go to autozone, well the one in my neighbor hood is alot better then pepboys...the autozone i went to after had like a pain specialist...just ask, make sure you dont get Krylon rust tough

first i bought the clear tails then went to a local auto shop and got them done with 3 coats so its nice and dark and then he put a clear coat ontop to give it that shine so it matches the body!


i dont know about the exhaust yet,ill let you guys know tomrrow, im so excited.

well first i wanted the euro clears but i made the mistake of gettn them off ebay so they sent me the wrong ones, what i got was those ugly plastic clear chrome things, so i figured they couldnt get any uglier so i sprayed them with what i thought was night shades

this one is the correct one i blv

from what i hear its pretty good, but i got the wrong one, so i sparyed like 3 or 4 coats of it then i realized it wasnt really translucent, and the little light you could see was pink haha...but its okay i already go my clears from Abrahams Motorsport so as soon as i get some new fog lamps, cuz i cracked mine, im gonna take them to my local body shop to get them smoked right like my tails and put those babys on!

and oh yea, no exhaust yet, maybe tomrrow or wensday, we'll see!



till next time

Freeform foglights (stock and most likely are what you have) have 9006 bulbs, the others are projector fog lights, (look similar to projector headlights and can be found on ebay) they take H1 bulbs. If you're not sure which you have, check the bulb.

Again you can find either sets on ebay..

wish I'd found out about them before i spent $120.00 on an entire new lamp just due to the cracked lens.There's always next time.I have a cracked from turn/corner signal lens now so maybe time to begin that smoking conversion.. I was this close to winning a set of smoked Hellas from Deutschland on ebay last week then the seller mysteriously ended the auction... I figure he didn't want to let them go for $60.00 it was a full set all around .It was an odd coincidence that i emailed asking if there were any duty/brokerage fees the carrier would demand from me over and above shipping when they delivered them and poof the auction was gone.. however another German ebay seller assured me emphatically i pay nothing but shipping. I wonder if he is just unaware. Isn't anything that enters the U.S. from another country subject to a Duty which the carrier usually pays then seeks it back from whomever the shipper designates? I'd hate to get a surprise $150.00 Bill stuffed in my face before i was able to take my goods..
