Thanks everyone. This weekend is going to be a relatively big day with Zaino and some interior + exterior mods.

First mod done to the car is Euro Fog Light Switch

Worked on the car a little bit that night and installed PIAA LED angel eyes, PIAA Xtreme Force H3 cornering lights, some interior LED bulbs, and black mats with red piping.

Here are two exterior pics s/p angel eye mod:

Looking good

Kev · 04-26-2008, 06:59 PM

Today, I spent a full day at Luxury Details in Framingham, MA working on my car. The owner Matt, his employee, Mike, and I tackled the following things today:

Exterior:
M3 Style Trunk Spoiler
Carbon Fiber Roundels

Interior:
Carbon Fiber Roundel for Steering Wheel
M-Technik Anthracite Headliner
Split Arm Rest
Full Interior LED Lights

We didn't get to do the Hamann style black carbon lip and painted reflectors though.

Next step would be to rewire the M5 black carbon SMG knob, CF e-brake handle, LeatherZ boots, and illuminated doorsills at Bavarian Performance Group with DIY

Stay tuned for pic updates tomorrow.

Yeahas · 04-26-2008, 07:16 PM

Will definitely try and see if the tech can snap some pics for me. If not, I'd still take pics of the finished product.

@ your headliner. SICKKK, how much did that go for?

Kev · 04-26-2008, 10:03 PM

Can't remember the exact total, but PM Evan @ Tischer for a quote. Their price for the headliner is UNBEATABLE!

Asclepius · 04-26-2008, 10:03 PM

+1 on the headliner.....very nice. I want this so bad! Did it turn out ok...any problems?
