Thanks,

Here a couple pics of my taillights that we smoked this afternoon..

The red in this picture is just a reflection...it was getting dark but the color is a medium smoke...didn't want to go to dark as I personally don't think it looks very good on the lighter colored cars...


We taped of the top section of the taillights mounted to the body to give a nice contrast of light and dark (clear on the top, dark on bottom)



more pics of the interior swap to come tomorrow..

Car looks sick! Needs a CSL trunk lid.. Also, the only things I HATE are the different BMW roundels.. I prefer the regular blue/white roundels!

No I'm swapping with a guy from Orange County who really wants my Cinnamon (Tan).

It's actually not too bad of a process...pull the front seats, rear seats, all four trim panels...the only tricky part is de-trimming the trim on the trim panels (need to be very careful during this procedure)

Yeah I know a lot of people love the Cinnamon but for some reason I just doesn't do it for me on the white car...it looks great on the black car I did the swap with though.
