Thanks for the comments everyone,

To answer a few questions....

It's BMW Sparkling Graphite. I got the idea for that color off another member's car on here....his build is in the Pro Touring section.
The car is on air bags, all the way around....so I can pretty much do any ride height I want. :) In these last pictures, it's air-ed out all the way. The headers and front cross member actually lay on the ground.

I'm typically mixed on the low look, but you hit it here.

Loved it before but now it's over the top...even uncompleted.:yes:
The color and those wheels are a marriage made in heaven!:thumbsup:
That is certainly the poster car for AR CL205's man...no doubt...:beers:

Good job...can't wait to see it completed.You must be stoked now...;) Keep us posted man...and glad to see my wheels going to such great use.

John,

Thanks for the compliments! Good to know you're happy with where your rims went. I love those wheels. The paint is awesome too! I was just outside looking at it, and the metallic is rainbow colored...gives off some really neat shine. If you weren't so far away I'd say come over and check it out.

Bad Ass! We need to get together sometime when that thing is complete. (Dos Lagos monthly show or something.) I can't wait to see it all done. Love the stance laying down like that, and the color is perfect.

so is the engine in it or no?

I think the ride height in the front could go about 1 inch lower... but for sure looks sweet. very nice color

Very nice!

The car is on air bags, all the way around....so I can pretty much do any ride height I want. :) I figured that much... how is the rest of it set up? Spindles, A-arms, shocks, etc...

Again, looks awesome. :thumbsup:

McLovin, :)

I have 2" lowering spindles, shocks relocated in the front, and stock a-arms. Minus the physical air bag, and relocating the front shocks, the suspension is all stock. I plan on running some tubular a-arms, but only for a cosmetic purpose.

Thanks for the compliments.
