How will they fit a 10" lip on that wheel?? That is crazy. Does the center of the wheel bow out to allow a lip that big? The one thing I have seen with wheels like that, when there is such a huge lip, it makes the wheel look smaller than it actually is. I definately want to see them. It is a long painful wait for the rims, but well worth it.
It is crazy how much more attention the car/truck is getting with everything done. The look on people's faces is great, you can tell they have no idea what they are looking at. |

Nicely done. It looks just as good without the chrome window trim, which would have matched your ride even more because of the mods.
Thanks for the website.

I got them on ebay. The color from those bulbs is a little on the blue side. The angel eyes I have are really close to the same color as the piaa bulbs so they look good. If you just change the fogs they will probably be too blue.

Changed fog light bulbs
I changed the fog bulbs from PIAA 5100K to PIAA 4400K Northern Star. Much better color match. The 5100 was just to blue, and it cheapened the look a little bit. Now everything matches perfectly. I will get some more pictures of the new lights.

Painted your mirror assemblies? No one in this area will paint anything plastic in Florida. Say it wont last, etc. I had mine done in Germany. They do the same process that BMW does on plastic - coat with something, and then do whatever else after that. Did my window trim also. I tried to scratch it off with my finger nails, but it will not come off, so it's definately better than paint.
I think your eyelids are spaced out too far forward. Still, very beautiful X6. |

It was an expensive process to paint all of the black trim white. It was smoothed before it was painted which doubled the cost of the job. The eyelids only fit in one place, how can they be too far forward? Any further back and the hood won't close.

A few quick questions...
- Do you have any problems with the new angel eyes? - Have you had to replace the bulbs yet? - Does BMW say anything to you when you bring it in for service? Thanks |
