    Wait you almost bought an m62? I'm not sure if that is a wise fiscal decision for you, friend.

            agreed^
            i have the same shift knob and i also bought it from tischer.
            it feels great.

            the drop looks great.
            congrats.
            the front end looks good.
            it still needs the obvious but you already know that.
            keep us posted and take pictures.

              I got the e46 weighted ///M shift knob from tischer and love it! the ZHP was too short for me, it's a great shift knob though.

              You should get the 15mm drop hats to correct the reverse rake

                          looks a lot better mike, i think you could rock it white though, unless your going for the black look. i personally like the look of the volvos, there cheap as shit and if you rip it off big deal. your car is coming along very nicely, wish i could have the funds and time to get mine done, well mainly funds, money flies. just gotta get those maxx's and youll be set pretty much. ohh, and tuck in the sides of the volvo, itll look more flush with the valance

                            oh there is almost nothing holding that lip on. it's only mounted by 3 little tabs in the front right now. i think the volvo ones are too tall, i like that look better. i've got 4 possibly 5 r3v'ers in on the 521s, so only a couple more and we're ready to rock!

                              You might want to use something thicker than 10w30 in CA

                              seriously, 15w40 or 20w50

                                How so? 95% of my driving is DD, and the temp here is almost never above 80 or below 60. I've been thinking about thicker only to help curb my oil leak
