That's how it starts, what? If you mean adding stuff to your car, I don't want anything else now. I have plans to make the lights black and I'll do that once I pay off the rims. Once that is done, I'm done. I don't wanna change anything or add nothing.

If you want a good custom lighting guy find Mike Mamos with Clearcorners I think. They used to be in burbank, but i think they moved.
He made custom angel eyes leds, and amber/clear side signal lights for my bf's car. He does really nice work.
You can't see it that well here, but here's a link from their site to a pic of his car. They made the housing or whatever it's called black too.

^ That is so sick. My car didn't come with Angel Eyes because they told my sister it would take a month or two for them to get a 3 series with it, and since they gave it on my birthday, they didn't wanna wait. I REALLY want the eyes thought but it's $800.
Any idea how much he'll do it for? Probably as much though.

Glad your OK one way - sucks to get in an accident anytime - but particularly with a new car.
Yeah lots of add-on for the bimmers....clear corners being a popular one - and I can see why - they do look better. Doubt if I'll bother though (If I put money in it better improve performance - thats my philosophy!) - if you drive a stick i would deffinatly recommend a short shifter for instance..and upgraded wheels and tires - choose carefully - changing (plus sizing) changes driving dynamics - and not always for the better. If your ratio is off you may be promoting understeer - and for spirited driving you want to go the other way - more oversteer - easier to control with the throttle - etc. Ask folks (who know the car and what they are talking about) before you do it. You probably have the conti's I assume - yeah change them out - the Michelin Pilot sports I have on my ZHP are outstanding and thr Yoko AVS sports I use on my Audi may even be better.
Anyway - the one cosmetic do-up I would love to do is the 5 series lighted rings (is this angel eyes? makes sense if it is...when I first read I was thinking it was the eybrows thing/lip that some put on...I don't care for these. I don't know if are aware but there are abuch of different lighting methods that are used - some allow for color (but are not quite as bright as the others) - etc. I researched it a bit a ways back - because they are way cool...but didn't feel like dropping the $$$ to do it...

^ I want the Angel Eyes, but I don't have them.
Anyway, I got rims and tints so far and that's what I wanted the most. At the end of it all, I might get my backlights smoked (with the sticker though, it looks cleaner) and do the same to the orange part in my headlights. That's probably it. It's a lease, that's why. My uncle wants me to change the muffler tip to chrome, lol, but that's whatever. It's like a 5-minute thing and it doesn't really cost anything, so I don't know about that.
