-18% carbon tint

-lower front mesh painted gloss black to match grills

-ACS Springs (no noise and rides better then I could have imagined with the perfect drop)

-550 debadge happening this week

-Tru Audio amp w/ 12" JL audio sub

All work on car was done by California Customs in South Florida. Amazing work! Thanks for all the help and advice in getting her up to spec. Hope you guys like the pics.

Looks great. Probably you need bbk for the next step 😃

Aggresive and stilish. Congrats!

Thanks guys. I wont be doing anymore to the car for now including BBK. I am pretty happy where it is. Only thing I have been contemplating is a slight SLIGHT smoke on rear lights and maybe the m splitter I have seen a thread on. Hopefully I will just stay put lol I need to start getting ready to do Christmas shopping!

Very nice and classy! Any pics of the amp/sub and details of the install?

This is all I have for it. They installed a beauty board to cover the ported box. I also had a gain control for the sub volume placed in that little compartment to the left of the steering wheel. Can adjust how much thump I want on the fly. I don't have a pic of the board covered with fabric but it blends in perfectly. When you open the trunk you don't even know it's there

Nice car overall but do not like the wheels, grilles, or debadge idea. Wheels and grills make it look like a teenage BMW racer car. Nothing wrong w/ sporty but sometimes you can go overboard with too much dark/black. Like it's trying too hard to say "Look at me! I'm sporty!"

Nice color though!

Couldn't disagree with you more. Not sure how you can conclude my car looks like a "teenage BMW racer car" but I have seen some of your other posts so I know you aren't the most eloquent when it comes to voicing your opinion. Regardless thanks for the thoughts but I am quite happy.

My 535i M-Sport shows up next week and I've been somewhat regretting that I didn't get Space Gray instead of Titanium Silver. Your great photos put me over the top! Beautiful!
