Anybody know a good (great) trustworthy, independent shop in Ventura or Santa Barbara County, Calif. that can install a SSK/DSSR? I'm still trying to decide independent vs. dealer install.
Thanks.

do it yourself...pretty simple. I'd suggest finding a dental tool that's like a hook so you can pull out the clip that much easier. and it is easier if the car hasn't been started at all...you're hands will thank you for it.

It took me almost two hours to do it, but having some experience...easily can be done under an hour.

    E39 M5 and E52 Z8 Discussion
    Hey guys - this weekend I'm planning on baking open the headlights on my 2001 and installing a fresh set of lenses w/clear side markers. While the headlights are opened, is there anything else I should attend to / upgrade / etc? I don't have any issues with my adjusters, but I've read of folks...

  6. Caramel Interior w/ Black Seats

    E39 M5 and E52 Z8 Discussion
    The caramel interior, mainly the seats, in my 2001 M5 are looking pretty beat up and it doesn't help that the previous owner did a horrible dye job on them. I've been thinking about redoing the dye job but in the meantime checked around for M5 interiors for sale and only come across black. I...
