Facelifted VS. Pre Facelifted 7

Even though these 7 series BMW's were slightly modified you can still tell the difference in facelifted and pre-facelifted models.

Both cars are lowered, have upgraded wheels, asanti grille aswell as ACS spoilers.

Pre Facelifted is 2002 - 2005

Facelifted is 2006 - 2008

E66 meaning "Li" version

E65 meaning the "I" version

JL Audio UPDATE

As you know im working on my custom sound system. The box was done few weeks ago, all hooked up and working all I had to do is finish the final panel that has the plexi glass in it. Sorry for the cheap looking photos, didnt have my camera with me at the time so just used my EVO 3D phone to take them and it was dark in the garage.

Once the plexi glass was glued, I waited to make sure the glue cured really good so the glass doesnt fly out for any reason later on.

I used a few screws to hold the cover in place to see make sure it all fits right..

Once that was complete it was time to make the final cover to hide all the wood.

And this is what I ended up with. It was now time to cover it with grey cloth to match the trunk. It wasnt going to be a perfect match but close enough for me to like it.

To make that shape i first used thick piece of cardboard and kept cutting it to fit the trunk as nice as possible. Once that was complete I just transferred it all to the piece of wood and cut the wood to shape.

It was then time to use the adhesive and add the cloth material.

Once all that was done and 20 minutes later this is what the final cover looked like:

Also before I cut the hole I put this cover inside the trunk to show all you guys what it would look like if the sub was hidden in a box and there would not be any plexi glass.

Too plain in my opinion but im sure some people like that. Also notice how much trunk space I have left! PLENTY!! Here it is:

Here are just a few random pictures. This is with not plexi glass cover on the box so you can even notice the top neon light.

Pictures of the final result will be posted soon!

Here are few pictures of the lip upclose. They are for member Terek from bimmerfest to help him with his install of his lip.  Sorry the car is dirty so the pictures are not great. Its raining here so cant wash the car right now. The carbon fiber pieces were just black primered pieces and I wrapped the in carbon fiber vinyl. The lip was completely painted but I got the center wrapped in carbon fiber too.

Just wanted to post a picture with rear foot rests. Most 7 series are equipped with these and they will come in the color of your interior.  I know many 7 series owner didnt know they even supposed to have these in their 7's. I dont believe it was a standard option on all but some of the 7 with most options had these. I had mine and I didnt need them and was never gonna use them and I knew my passengers are not going to complain so I sold mine for $100 bucks.

CF wrapped grille

Just wanted to post some new better and updated picture of my custom carbon fiber grille. Its wrapped in 3D carbon fiber vinyl.

Just wanted to share quick update on the current system upgrade. We have cut out the hole from the inside of the car so that now the speaker is visible.

HERE IS A PICTURE BEFORE THE COVER WAS INSTALLED:

I will be posting more pictures later and I will take better pictures with my DSLR camera, these photoes are just quick shots with my EVO 3D phone.

Mud Flaps

My rear wheels have 15MM H&R spacers and the tires are 295/25/22. Rear wheels are 22x10.5

Since the wheels are pretty wide and so are the tires I was getting alot of dirt on my rear bumper. The biggest problem for me was the tire shine stuff. Everytime it was fresh and I would drive for a little bit alot of the grease stuff would be on my bumper and it was hard to get it off later.

Anyways the easiest thing for me was to get some mud flaps. I found someone who was selling rear mud flaps that were already painted the same color as my car. The guy was selling them for $100. The flaps came off his bmw 750. He had them on his car installed, didnt like the look so took them off. I ended up buying them and they were in really good condition, almost like new. BMW 750 flaps are a little bit different from the ones for a 745 but I made it work and fit my car perfect. If you guys not sure what you doing make sure you buy the 745 mud flaps, if you love and can rig something up to make it look good you can get a pair from 750 and make it work and look good. I love the look and if I found a pair for the front for a good price I would buy them too. I always keep my eyes open for new mods for my car!

Here are the pictures righ after bath:
(also notice the CF rear lip and deleted chrome bumper strip)
