Newbie here! Pics with FEW mods. x]

Well not really new, I've been scavenging the forums for about a year now just silently buying parts and selling them on the marketplace. but every time i come and pick up a part from someone, people are like.. whats your username, I've never seen you on the forum. so here, you cant say that anymore


Some of the mods I have on (I will be forgetting alot because I simply have a bad memory):
06 Headlights with 6000k bulbs
HID parking lights 6000k
Clear Turn Signals with 6000k matching LED bulbs
Black Grill
Carbon Fiber Hood
Mastergrade Carbonfiber trunk
kenstyle rear
20" gold rims
Kenwood Navigation unit
(I actually have the stock navi, but I dont use it because i want touchscreen)

Sorry, pictures are taken with the iphone. anyone near the 626 areacode with a professional camera wanna take pictures for me? hehe (i'm serious)





Also my daily car, 2006(?) E500.

+1. Why the monkeys? Rear is WAY too aggressive and get a black roof to match the front and back. It will flow better. And do you have gold rims? I thought i was color blind!

Welcome aboard Richbum....!

Your G looks like a work in progress, with good mods thus far. That KS rear
bumper is way agressive for the OEM frontend....like lemons & prunes. Go
back to the Marketplace and find a KS front bumper and sides, only then will
you have the "LOOK" your trying to achieve....complete the package
....Monkeys WTF is that?

rear is wayy too aggresive for the front/sides.. not to mention they dont have mesh in the holes.. i like the CF theme going, but you need to rock some skirts or at least an OEM lip

welcome! you got a lotttaa miles

AC controls are on the armrest in the middle. closer to my fingers.

as far as the mesh, I do have it, but in order to put it on I have to take off the bumper again, and I just havent had the time to do it.

the monkey is milo from the ultra-exclusive clothing company Bape from Japan. I'm an official Bape reseller in the US. its sorta like an urban way to get the name out.

yeah, i have gold rims with a polished lip. I want to lower the car a bit more, but with the 20's i have, it seems like i have to roll my fenders first.

I'm working on the front pretty soon. Looking to get a cf lip with a cf windsplitter underneath it. and once I have time, I will be getting a cf overlay roof aswell.

the bmw is more smooth and the interior is prettier on the eyes, but the power difference is pretty big. the car feels a bit heavy to drive with that tiny I6. I think i got rid of it cuz I was fustrated on the fact that i got the car first day it came out and a year later there was a 335i.

kenstyle rear was from klumzee.
