Then i got some HID's:

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...6/IMG_7477.jpg

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...6/IMG_7479.jpg



Then i changed out all the interior lights and tag lights with LED's:

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...6/IMG_7473.jpg

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...6/IMG_7471.jpg


Then i got some LED reverse lights:

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...6/IMG_7497.jpg


Then i tinted the taillights (i was very happy about this cause it was the first time i had attempted this, did my truck and car and my buddies truck):

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...6/IMG_7456.jpg

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...ax16/FR-S1.jpg



I did wrap the gas door, but decided to take it off.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...ymax16/027.jpg

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...ymax16/028.jpg


Finally got my front LED blinkers.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...6/IMG_7528.jpg

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...6/IMG_7527.jpg


7/29 Well i have yet to decide what coilovers to get, but i wanted the car a little lower so for now i cut the springs. Let me just say this is a temporary fix!

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...6/IMG_7535.jpg

8/9 Painted the roof!

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...6/IMG_1501.jpg

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...6/IMG_1502.jpg

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...6/IMG_1504.jpg

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...6/IMG_1510.jpg

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...6/IMG_1521.jpg

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...6/IMG_1523.jpg



20$ Shark fin antenna (stock bmw shark fin)

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...6/IMG_1604.jpg

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...IMG_1599-1.jpg



So our stock antenna was a little wide so i had to shave a little off of both sides of the cover, and there was a dimple that i shaved off so that it would sit flush

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...6/IMG_1601.jpg



Then i just put new double sided tape on it,

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...6/IMG_1605.jpg



And then just put it on,

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...6/IMG_1608.jpg

Updated 5/3/14

Jeez talk about bringing a thread back from the dead. A lot has changed on my car since i have posted in this thread but i figured i would share its progress. Blacked out the interior, blacked out headlights, coilovers, fog lights, wheels, lip kit, spoiler, window visors and a few other odds and ends.

Thanks for posting the pics! The car is looking goooooood.

Man, you sure did smoke those taillights! Definitely know where you stand on the altezza issue! :D

srt4_night_rider 07-17-2012 03:29 AM

They look really dark in that picture but really they aren't that dark! But ya I don't like the chrome, ha ha!

yayforaddison 07-17-2012 03:34 AM

I like the path you took.

The gas door actually looks very good. Makes me wanna do mine!

Ft-86 Please 07-17-2012 03:56 AM

Looks good, but, for me, not sure about the gas door

alex86 07-17-2012 08:30 AM

i like what you did at the emblems :thumbup:

Itsjustjoe 07-17-2012 10:04 AM

Looks good bud. If it were me, I would take the vinyl off of the gas door.

ChrisOkc8 07-17-2012 10:23 AM

I would have stopped at the window tint.

Wigmasterflex 07-17-2012 10:28 AM

Wait ... You did your emblems while on the car? Seems all I have read people are removing them. Clearly I have never done either before but I love the black emblems. Maybe give me a little more insight to how you did them? Please and thank you. And ya... Not so sure about that gas door hmmm.

Hahah he just used Plasti-Dip on them man, Its a spray paint thats removable.. As in you can just peel away the parts that you didn't want painted.

Ricepuddin 07-17-2012 11:08 AM

Don't get me wrong, the tinted tails look good, but they are a safety issue.

I give it a month before you have a thread talking about getting rear ended
