Before and After

I got my E39 Dinan 5 series almost 2 years ago. It came with the Koni adjustable shocks. Dinan strut bar, sway bar, dinan intake, exhaust, and dinan throttle body. It's the sport package and a 5 speed. The guy before put a horrible wing on. There's a body kit all the way around. The guy before me painted the molding silver to match the car. It was done how it looked, Cheap! Some paint was chipped off. My dual tip dinan exhaust tips have been off set forever, which drives me crazy.

A lady hit me two months after I got the car. My driver side fender was creased and the front lip had been ripped off my bumper for about 18 months! We didn't call the cops because they would have said it's mutual, plus I only have liability. The last thing I need is a wreck on my record. My AC went out last summer so there's where I lot of money went. I didn't want pour money into it until I could get it all done at once.

Keep in mind I'm a full time college student and it took me selling a lot phones for Sprint to fix what I can so far. There is a lot of work still needed. Here's what I've done in the past 6 months:

HID 8000K headlights HID 3000K fog light
M shift **** that lights up
Fender Fixed
Wing removed
Front lip back on
5% tent
New black molding all around
Exhaust centered
Clear side markers

Carbon fiber roundels all the way around

Powder coated wheels. A chrome like base was baked on followed by a liquid black. At night they look blacked out. When the lights hit the wheels at night they reflect all the light and look crazy. During the day in the sun light they look like a dark gun metal. I wanted something different and took a chance on the color. No two tone. The whole wheel a solid color.

I debadged the back. I took the Dinan badge off the back. If people see that they might think the car is fast.

I agree. I would like to take all yellow lenses out and make them clear. I forgot to add that I had done the BSW speakers and tweeters done. I have a custom dash kit for my Eclipse cd player with Sirius and ipod hardwire kit. The custom dash kit I bought from a previous e39 owner.

I've been looking for a custom sub setup firing through the ski pass. Two twelve’s would be nice.
