Just added M5 Lip and had dings removed.

Added an M5 lip spoiler today and I'm pretty happy with the results. Got it off of ebay for like $25. Paint cost me another $75.
I also recently had 7 door dings removed, only cost me $200, and I couldn't even tell you where they were it was done so well.

7 Dings removed for 200 bucks...>That's an awesome deal man!

Also is your car lowered at all? If so what springs do you have?

Gotta love those split 5-spoked wheels.
I'm looking some for my CL.
Some SSR GT1's sound nice!

Dent Destroyer here in the Seattle area form a guy named Mike. He does a lot of work for Acura Lynnwood and BMW Bellevue. Came to my office at work took him an hour and a half, no chips just dents. Dent Wizard wanted $300+ and you had to make an appointment and leave your car there for 4 hours.

Looks nice. The lip adds a lot. You should have asked them to debadge it as well.

SWEET RIDE , I let a spoiler slip through my fingers on E-bay just recently you probally out bid me

I would'nt Debadge because on a resale and a trade in it does affect the exterior condition of the car, anything a potential customer can pick at is the first thing they notice........lol..with rims like those who cares..........

Nice car.
I was looking at those same wheels; you're the first one I've seen with them. What are the dimensions on your tires?

I like the rims, remind me of the SSRs. Look liek hyperblack, would look good on my anthracite.
Sun Diego - unfortunately SSR no long offers the GT1s, but there are a few clones.

Was there any drilling involved to get to the dings? I hear that if they can't easily access the dents, they drill a small hole in some inconspicuous area to get their tools in there.

No, luckily he did not have to. You are right though. If you have dings in the rear quarter near the wheel well or the door seam they have to drill small holes in the wheel well or the door jam. I was lucky I guess. He said it was rare to need any drilling.

Yes 18's, and funny, I just weighed them when I put them back on. With tires they are about 7 lbs lighter each than the stock 17's with tires.

I was possibly looking into those too...are yours 18x8 or 18x7?? Wheelmax only shows them in 18x8 for our cars and they have a +45 offset...so I was wondering if they stick out at all from the side. Im afraid they would rub with an H&R sport (not OE) drop. Any enlightenment would be great, thanks!

18x8 and I have the H&R sport drop, nothing sticks out, and I have had no rubbing issues what so ever.
