(PICS) 2008 - M5 Sapphire Black, Silverstone II w/ Brushed Aluminum Shadow
I've gotten several emails asking for pics of my beast so I finally dug into the archives to fish some out. I hope these come thru OK, I've got a few before and after shots since I've been upgrading the beastie.

The only upgrade I do not have pictured is my 20" carbon fiber chrome Davin wheels - the main reason is that they are 2 months overdue!

Cheers, Sloppy

Looks gooooood tint those other windows though. Its just a ticket if you get one. Sign the ticket off yourself IF it ever gets challenged just tell the court that they guy at the donut shop said he was a police officer. They never check, been doing it for 25 years. Your signed off ticket goes to a 7.50 an hour court clerk, too many tickets to verif the signature.

I have avoided many situations in busy cities when you cant see into my car, for all anybody knows you have two pitbulls and a black guy named ben in the back seat. Safe and worth the added comfort. I went 15% all around, looks like you went about 35 to 40%. 15 takes a day or two to get used to but love it after that. I have the M5 sunshade option also, add that to the 15 and the back seat area feels like a refrigerator in the heat.

Looks sweet. I agree with BEMR on the tint though. Still looks great.

Sweet! Our cars have such awesome looking interiors, sometimes I forget (probably because I hardly drive mine!)


Also -- I echo the tint comments. That looks kinda awkward/bad...?
