I like everything but the tinted tails. Clean car. What are the stealth amber bulbs? I don't see them

^ I was wondering the same. I think they're white bulbs that light amber? So it doesn't reflect amber in the housing.

Very nice! I actually like the tinted tails... kind of takes away from the huge tail light look of the previous gen M's.

Thanks for the kind words, guys.

As for the bulbs, they are chrome but light up amber. Very subtle difference in appearance.

I should be picking up an exhaust sometime this week. I will post pix as soon as I pick them up and install them

love those cars, and yours is tasteful.

i dont mind tinted tails when they are done with a glossy finish and not entirely black.

the matte black look kinda cheapens the look of them.

I wouldn't even replace those wheels. Those are by far my absolute favorite OEM 19's ever produced!!! If you decide to sell them when you get new wheels PM me.

Nice looking M. And it seems to have the sport package, but I would add a touch more sidewall for those wheels (19" I think. Maybe a half size up 235 vs. 225), basically filling the wheel well without a drop. Bigger whees would look stupid. Just an opinion.

Over here I see a few of them and they are really nice.

Nice M35!

BTW if you haven't ordered your Medalion Touring exhaust, let me know. I used to work at Tanabe and i'll see if I can get you hooked up with with a good price.

Thanks for the offer. They should arrive tomorrow. I don't think anyone will give me the price I am getting them for if they are looking to make any money.

I'm really impressed, I haven't dug this car in the past, but you're doing it right. I would stay away from blacking out the emblems...I think it looks super classy. I actually am not a fan of the blacked tails either and the headrest pillows...but I get it...JDM!

I wanted to be different and vinyl the tails. You don't see many M's (maybe any is a better word) with blacked out tails. Also, only a portion of my tails are covered with vinyl.

I bought the neck pillow out of boredom at work and come to find out, they are actually quite comfy. I'm 6' and I recline my chair a bit when I drive these pillows give me extra support.

I was breaking in the exhaust yesterday so I can't give you a full detail. The exhaust sounded louder after my 1 mile drive around the neighborhood. I think I need to break it in some more today.
