here is my new ride just after getting it home from having some fresh tint installed and the first major mod of the Cowmouflage Car Seat. Next week having the front brake ducts, scuttles and mirror caps painted orange. Along with waiting on my black belt line and rings.

first Absolute Black post

Picked up Sargent yesterday. Today I had the windows tinted 20 percent rears and 70 percent for the fronts. Had the shop install clear bra on the headlights and fog lights to avoid that yellow cancer from the sun!

Did you also have your "4" done in red?!

Looks great!

I ordered the "4" from Vinyl Styles and it installed it as soon as I brought the newborn home.

Tint looks great, what shade did you have installed?

After a grueling nine week wait we finally got the car today. We drove it straight home from the dealer (less than 10 miles) and immediately popped on the new 19" wheels and stubby antenna. The BMW wheels make it look kind of like a smaller X5. We'll probably put the NM lowering springs on it as well.

Looks great. What model BMW did the wheels come from? Did you just bolt them on with no problem?

Yes, no problem, no spacers needed. Tires are 245/40/19 Potenza RE760 Sport.

They are replicas of the e46 M3 wheels. I've always loved those wheels, probably the nicest OEM wheel ever. These are made for the BMW 1-series, which has the same specs as the CM for wheels. We'll probably replace the BMW M-power center caps with MINI ones.

Great service from TireRack, wheels were shipped out a few hours after I ordered them, mounted & balanced complete with TPMS sensors.

Both cars look great, but those wheels look great on the CM. I had found a great setup from a 135i but passed cuz I was not sure if they would fit.

You have tint coming I assume... Probably more judging by your car. Keep pics coming.
