Sounds like a nice build. Which wide body kit will you be installing? Will the wheels be wide enough?

[X5Brian]

Kit just got done

[X5Brian]

Waiting to get kit on and will get custom off set rims to push them out

[X5Brian]

These rims

[X5Brian]

This is hood being made … 22 days to make and 2 months to ship ugh!!!

[X5Brian]

Here's the mirrors and side vents. Easy install but have to be extremely careful when removing mirror caps. The clips can snap off easily. The side vents are 3m tape. I used a hair dryer to warm both car and tape and pressed firmly for 2 mins both sides. They are def. On and flex fender if you pull on them.

Carbon fiber engine cover should be cool. I would have bought it if it were available. LOL

looking forward to the build!

Subscribed! This should be a fun build to watch

You must also put LED headlights on that list. Without it, that front end will never look aggressive.

[X5Brian]

Don't worry, led lights are bought and coming with kit

Still jumping back and forth between 20" and 22" rims. It's my daily driver… and want comfortable and also tires that last and not be $$$$ that's my only concern with 22" tires are crazy expensive

[Infamous039]

I think 20's would look silly on this truck especially if your going wide body. 22s are a must for sure!!

[X5Brian]

eBay holographic lights. Can't beat 20$ for 4 lights! Beats 132$ for 2 from BMW! My dad put real ones on his new 2022 M8, they look great but I'm good with my cheap ones lol. And if mine burn out it's 20$

I'd compromise and do 21s. Actually, if it were me, I'd do 20s with some nice wide and thick tires. 22s are just too hooooooge for my taste. Reminds of donks or guys who run around with 22" stickers on their fenders.

Why do the LED lights look more aggressive than the HID lights? Don't they look the same minus the insides? I mean I think the LED lights are awesome, we have them and enjoy them. But I never thought of them as more aggressive looking than the bixenons.

Maybe I'm just getting old...

Good luck, it all looks good even not my type of build/mods, I personally care less about looks but more about functionality.

[X5Brian]

Well damn Red, looks like I'll have to put my VSRF 7" intercooler, painted with M performance stripes on and a stage 2 tune to keep you happy 😉

Just ignore me, keep doing whatever makes you happy.

I guess it depends on the width you end up at but if it's 295/335 than 22" tires will be about $1k. Not bad compared to 21" tires which has less options.
