Although, I'm biased; silver would look great!






Have you thought about some bmw colors?
like their blues?

im just using cans right now. i didnt have to modify anything... everything pretty much bolted right up. the front should sit about an inch lower in the next few weeks once i stop being so lazy. but thats just bc i gotta change out some bolts i put in for the front brackets.... im probably gonna do hydraulics... if installed correctly it shouldnt giv eme any problems. and i get alot more lift and sit a little lower lol. although i already can drag my muffler if i want to

I need more details. Manual or electronic vavles? How valves did you use? Air tank, How many gallons? two or one compressor? What company compressor? What lines did you use? How did you mount tank/compressor? Are you using gauges? Did you have to notch the inner fender well? Did you take out anything to slam it to the ground?

Thank you. =)

no i got rid of my old phone which had the pics.
this is not our work but this is what your suppose to do.. well the first few steps.
cut out templates and then make the sheet metal template.
weld in place all around
grind it the welds
duraglass it.
then bondo it and sand it till its even. your not gonna get it perfect at first.
i use a big ruler to make sure theres no low spots and such. its alot of work lol
