        So Im wanting to keep her and do some custom subtle mods basically go oem plus

        Absolutely nothing you are listing is custom, subtle, or oem+. Murdered out is the 2009 version of rice kind sir. Pat isn't saying remove the tint on the tails and leave them amber. We are saying remove the tint and use Testors Candy Red or some other translucent red to make the tail lights "all red".

        The boser hood idea (that is your facelift hood on a non-facelift since it covers the headlights) angel eyes, and m3 front fenders are all things that are almost always considered rice in the BMW world. They look terrible almost every time they are done.

        Wheels, a drop, and some tint removal is all you need. If you want those tails even in the least bit, get rid of this thing. Those need to be killed with fire

                You just brought up a point I was overlooking. Do ALL maintenance that is even close to being due. I know your bushings should be changed. You don't want to be part of the e46 subframe mount cracking statistic=)

                      I like black cars, but too much black is tough to pull off "well". I'm not a fan of just the tinted rear turns, do the turns all red. If going with dark wheels, shadowline the trim, if going with a silver wheel keep the trim silver.

                      I vote for simple wide silver wheels and keep trim "as is"

                      /opinions.

                            I do not hate black and I know I'm digging a hole when I say this but I think the "murdered out" look is kind of cheesy.  I have a friend with an all black 06 Mustang GT that looks villainous!

                              I could do a trans swap quickly if I wanted to too.

                              I go into much farther detail when I do things than most people care to. There is a line between poking fun at someone and shit talking, and you are crossing that line bud. I would appreciate it if you quit poking at my car taking forever to get finished. 

                              P.S.- The blacked out amber on your tail light makes it look like you did an eg civic sedan tail light swap.

                                Chill out guys,

                                consider this your warning before I change your member titles again.

                                the important thing we have to remember here is how much black cars suck.

                                  Guys lets keep this opinionated but civilized. As a side note lets tone it down on the Earl bashing, seems to be a lot of that lately. At least he consistently gets things done every weekend on his car!

                                    I am chilled out. I have never made any threats or made fun of anyone in this thread. I just stated that I would appreciate less trolling on me by Ramsey. Everyone else does it in moderation but it seems to be a constant on his behalf. I am sure it is in good fun but I am getting irritated and irritating me is one of the hardest things to do.

                                      You can chaulk up the uptick in Earl crap talking lately to me - I enjoy giving Earl a hard time (in good fun of course). ❤️

                                      I vote boser with angel eyes and underglow.
