Love the hotwheels! I think everybody needs one!
And that ///AVIN looks awesome!

I’ve been avoiding looking at the NBT since it’s soo expensive, but the ///AVIN is definitely doable...and it looks fantastic.

Thank you Brandon

Great pix and thread! I have to ask: Regarding the power dome hood, did you have to (paint) blend the fenders to match or did you just drop it in after painting?

as far as PowerDome hood goes, I ordered it from (bmw parts reseller online, out of state) and asked them to paint it for me, this way I ended up paying better price which included hood, hood insulation, paint, delivery and few other smaller pieces I needed for installation. So to answer your question I didn't do the blending with the fenders and maybe at the beginning it was somewhat noticeable (hardly) but now little over a year later you can not tell the difference at all! hope this helps!

carbon fiber mirror covers are on

these are covers not replacements, main purpose besides look is to protect mirror covers from scratches...

last picture with my friend's '14 SRT he just picked up

[Teh.brandon]

Are the mirror covers a kit? Could you share some more details?

checkout aliexpress.com and search for bmw x5m e70 carbon fiber mirror covers

be careful as u might find more items u want to buy on that site, prices are very reasonable but if u decide to order be ready to wait about a month for delivery!

Cool deal

Cheers

few days ago I showed new carbon fiber mirror covers I installed (stick on), so 4 days later I ended up removing them. I had no issues with carbon fiber material or the way they made but I didn't like the fit from the beginning (some gaps). On the day after the install the double sided tape provided by the seller started disintegrating as well so the corners started to come off.

After unsuccessful tries to fix it I ended up damaging the covers even more (some small and some not so small scratches)

I ended up contacting seller and they might be sending me new set (not sure at this point) if they do I'll try to be smarter installing them next time around (better tape etc.,)

so not to get too upset with covers I installed door locks covers (I think they look pretty good for $4)

well they promising first snow this Saturday but so far it's somewhat warm and sunny, I had a chance to stop by at Seaport in Boston today and couldn't refuse to take few pictures:

also at the end few test fit pictures for some cf pieces that might or might not get install later...

thank you
it helps to keep mods going without putting down $1000s at ones, I do enjoy new wheels, exhaust etc., but for some reason little things gives as much joy for much less money
