new pics of my modded e39 530i

, i just wanna hear some opinions. It was completely stock before this but I installed the m5 lip spoiler, carbon fiber license plate frame, carbon fiber roundel emblems, and ecis intake system. Thanks!

here are some before and after pics!

btw what else would you guys recommend? I was thinking matte black grilles and cf license plate frame on front bumper also.

overlays cuz my tech friend said they dont make real cf emblems for the steering wheel and the ones that are real are knockoffs on ebay from taiwan, so he told me to just go overlays instead.

I didn't know you had to "install" license plate covers . Really nice car, that is my favorite 5-Series body style. I would say CF Interior Trim, wheels, some headlight work with the angels and Xenons if you don't have them already, tint (maybe).

Definitely nice start. I kind of went the same direction with my E38, updating the lights and installing that same spoiler, before upgrading the exhaust and going with the 19" wheels.



On your car I'd probaly go with the blacked out griles, as your car doesn't have any other chrome, unlike the E38.

I'd change the bumpers first.

Here are some pics of my previous car.







I know, I should've changed the wheels.
