I haven’t poked the screen of a new BMW to check yet, lol. The dial isn’t too bad to use, but I do prefer just taping the screen.

haha I was getting to it then forgot to post it…

window trim, side vent, door trim, roof rails, trunk chrome, emblems, grille all painted a black/dark gunmetal color (gloss, or maybe have it all gloss but the roof rails satin) and my tail lights tinted black and headlight housings black/darkgunmetal  
and I need my GTR wheels photoshopped on (yes they are at my house but I’m at school so can’t just throw them on to see) and lower the car a little.

Basically, all chrome/alum color changed to black/dark gunmetal, to go with the dark gunmetal GTR wheels I have from the 35

here’s one that was already started…GTR wheels on, but I want the tail lights tinted BLACk, etc. I dont have my editing stuff on the computer anymore because I had to reload windows…

so if somebody could do all of this that would be amazing, If it’s somebody who knows what theyre doing I would even shoot them a few dollars on paypal.

Like I said above, all the chrome stuff a black/gunmetal, lowered with the GTR wheels…

While this is a nice SUV why are you driving and modifying a SUV? I’m somewhat confused here, what are your final goals? DONK?

I’m sure he could ask why you continuously buy POS domestics.

Why does anybody drive and modify their cars? Because they have the choice to. What’s the difference If I “drive and modify a SUV”?  
Why are you confused?  
Where did you get the impression I was going DONK? Have you seen my last FX? probably the opposite of donk…  
I’m surprised how ignorant some people on a car forum can be, you sound like the guy who called me a ricer…  
p.s. a stock c5 vette is not much faster than my FX50 stock v stock, to put it in a way you would understand.

I’m a student right now so I got something that is a bit more practical than a two seater domestic…and I still like to modify it.

Exactly. It’s a choice.
