I will once its finished, hopefully by this weekend. On a separate note, whats everyone opinion on putting on the Black sport wheels? There are a set on ebay for less than 4k with tires. I have the turbo'2s and have insurance on them. But think the black sport ones might look better with the new look.

Can you please help me to figure out how to make that money on one day? That said, I'd vote yes on the headlights as well, but it would definitely be a "no" if it was me paying for them!

Car's coming along great BTW!

Front bumper done, with the silver accent bar. I like how it looks, even on a dirty car!

You can also buy the headlight washers in black along with the front fender side vents. I did both of these when I added the sport design kit.
We decided to go with factory parts instead of painting over chrome, the parts alone cost 2k, just for the window surround.

Our quote was 1439.36 + 445 Run channels 50 rivets including overnight shipping. regardless, the shop said to throw in free install because that was over the original estimate.

Great look on the bumper. I'm waiting for John to order one for me to do the conversion. If you pick up on Saturday I may see you there. I'm having some work done on the M3.

The factory paints over the polished aluminum, its not chromed, the factory finish is much thinner and the clear coat much more fragile.
