Not mine, but after seeing it, I got the bug. I'm gonna do mine, not gold, just thinking of something brighter than stock. Be done it on my Cls55, it's super easy. I'll update.
I think what would look awesome would be the yellow color that's on the Cali legacy plates. It will look sick on a murdered car. Or Lambo yellow. |

What’s up dude! I left a note on your car, it looks amazing! As soon as I walked out to the parking lot I was like now way lol My girlfriend was like what are the chances there’s a car that looks identical to yours... and I was like I know that guy from the forums! Haha
Your car looks great man and your paint is perfect! Who do you go to for your details/ paint corrections or are you just a pro at doing swirl free car washes? Also after seeing ours next to each other I really want a read diffuser. It makes the back end look so much more badass |

I have a Chemical Guys kit for paint corrective detail, wife hooked it up as a Christmas gift years ago. Came as a package with a Torq polisher and everything. I'm about due for a round. I love my ride clean but the more you wash it the more it swirls. It's a never ending battle. Let's shoot our cars. I have a legit set up and I can shoot them. It'll be overcast next week, that's when you want to shoot. Anyone else in LA should get in on it! |

Yeah the whole thing was great. I pulled in to my gym parking lot and parked right where I like to park is another "obnoxious" X5M, in the same color combo slammed on wheels with exhaust. I mean, what are the chances? Seeing another one made me realize how special these cars are. You get all the performance of a large sport sedan but in an SUV package. And the just look so vulgar with that big ass and those stupid oversized rear tires. I love this ride for sure. Let's get a shoot going. Rev, I remember I read you have a good cam set up too, we can do some damage here. Let's pick a date sometime in the future and see if we can get a small group together for some quality shots. As far as the paint corrective detail, I'll do my ride in the next couple of weeks and document the process. There's a ton of you tube vids on it especially by Chemical Guys but it doesn't even need to be as intense as they're doing it. They get crazy because they're selling a product, my set up gets the job done with out all the micro details. |

None in the rear but the car came with the fronts. What's really wild is how much crap I have to clean off the inside of them when I do the car. To think all that stuff would be on the paint is scary.

Let's definitely get a shoot in sometime! I have a Canon 6d with a 50mm 1.4 lens that I shoot most of my stuff with. Nothing too crazy, but it takes some pretty sharp pics. I'm usually free on weekends so lets aim to get something setup by the end of the month, I think it'd be badass to get a few x5ms in there!
As far as calipers go, heres a close up pic of them. I've always liked to contrast colors on my cars, I think it adds more character to it. Black and yellow is a pretty classic color combo that never goes out of fashion in my opinion

Heres another of the full car. Unfortuantely here in CA we have to run a front plate or else you get bombarded with "no front plate" tickets. I think I had around 10 of them before I finally gave in and put a front plate on. Luckily we have the option to get a black and yellow plate haha so its all good I guess.

I'm working with a Nikon and I have a 10-24 wide angle lens that gets those crazy pano shots. Plus I can do magic in post so yeah I think we can get some clean shots. Sundays are best for me. November 4th anyone? Should be plenty of time for you local guys to get cleaned up by then. |
