Replaced front and rear sway bar endlinks. No more knocking over bumps! 
Only ran into two snags with seized bolts. 2/8, so overall not bad.

Old clutch out, it seems the flywheel need to be machined, and clutch pad still got 35-40% thread left.
Anyways, install new Exedy stage 2 clutch with new lightweight flywheel.
Car is back on road.  Now I am waiting for Carbon Fiber parts to arrive @ custom.

I downloaded a free photo editing app and edited yesterdays photo of my car. Not terrible for a phone photo and phone edit of the photo.

Had my b-pillars on my 750i wrapped in gloss black.
Thanks to Jeremy + friend @ MW Studios Group for coming down to place to do the wrapping, the wrapping looks excellent and saved me $800+ to go down the OEM route.

They will need the actual cylinder from the car to copy or code a key to cut it. Lets not forget too most dealerships will need insurance papers to shown to prove that you own the car and aren't trying to get a key for someone else's car. In his case either way I doubt he had his insurance papers on him.

I was at my gf's house and didn't have my spares on me. Would've just bussed home to get them but was running on a tight schedule. Oh well.

Whats wrong with a traditional key nowadays? Seems like the safer way to go..

installed some HOEN xenonmatch h11 foglight bulbs to 'somewhat' match the HIDs of the TL-S. Although, in the next few days depending on weather, I'm going to swap them out to my Nokya hyperyellow fogs (for the winter/rainy season) and then switch back to these next spring.  | |

Prices can exceed 400+ dollars.
