Beautiful car man!

Looks like you're in the Cinco Ranch area? I have a Highland Home similar to your neighbor across the street.

Where do you get the wheels done at? I've been thinking about black or gunmetal for my 220m's...just don't know how it'd look on SSII.

That's cool, nice car! My bimmer has a twin out there! I debated the CF mirror for quite some time and decided just to do it. I will post pics after I receive and install.

Thanks! Good guess. Yes, I'm in Cinco Ranch. I had wheels painted at Southern Product Finishing in Pearland. Very happy with the results.

Thanks! I have had the AiB v4.5 since they were released and they are working well. I installed myself and installation was pretty much as described in EAS vids. My only complaint is they are not as bright as I expected.

One gripe I had was the lack of a notched handle on the rear of the bulb assembly.. It was definitely not as easy as "twist with pliers" solution as shown in EAS vids I ended up having to figure out my own way to utilize the heatsink piece as my leverage to get them locked in place..

Are you having any issues with the colour not being uniform from the inner and outer rings? (Inner: White with blueish hue as advertised / Outer: Slight greenish hue?)

Actually, now they you mention it I remember having difficulty tighten one of the bulbs with pliers. My rings vary slightly but not that noticeable. Here is a pic immediately after installation.
