Oh def removing all the stripes prior to wrapping.
Looking at doing a color shift vinyl red to black on side skirt indention and one similar to the one on car now on upper body line, just to add a little color and break up the pearl. Then ceramic PPF whole car

Haha thank you for removing that striping. Very autozone esk. And no the stripes are indicative of M. There is no such thing as BMW "performance" outside of M. All BMW aftermarket mods are called M Performance. From tunes and exhausts, to cf trim pieces.

Yeah, just for fun to do some stripes. 98% love them… 2% make it a point to let me know how much they hate it lol

Eeehhh I dunno, some people are just more polite than the rest of us, I say how I feel, good or bad lol I've said it before and I'll say it again, less is more. It doesn't need stripes to stand out from the rest, it's a wide body X5.

I would imagine that far less than 98% like them tbh, but do you regardless.

Haha, I must say I'm surprised by the light, did not see that coming. Did you end up painting the front bumper or is that a wrap?

X5Brian · 12-31-2022, 10:01 PM

All white is wrap, it’s the 3M satin ghost flip.
I’ll post more pics when I’m done making carbon fiber front splitter, diffuser, and skirts. The new wheels came out perfect!
22x11 front and 22x13 rear … wish I could find wider than 335/25r22 for the back…
A 345 or even 355 would be better

X5Brian · 01-09-2023, 06:18 PM

Hand made CF diffuser done and on!

Maverik259 · 01-09-2023, 09:27 PM

I applaud the effort but you have definitely lost me on this one. Good luck though and keep it going.

Definitely an "A" for effort. Let's see some more pics!

X5Brian · 01-14-2023, 08:26 AM

Front splitter on …
Was a pain in ass due to needing to be frame braced and not much room!
Hope some of y’all like … I’m sure some will be negative (enjoy your stock cars, I like mine different)
