FINALLY an actual update on my car! It isn't about my wheels either (I haven't even started on them yet). A huge thanks to Warren (absence) for my beautiful OEM .:R32 rear bumper painted BMP with tinted side-markers. The paint is flawless and actually looks better than the paint on my current bumper, so it might look a little silly once on. I am going to put it on tomorrow first thing and take it to an exhaust shop to have some new tips welded on to fit. The box was HUGE and I had some trouble fitting it in my car, so I ended up putting it through both rear windows and drove it home like that in the rain. On to pictures.....

The rear bumper is installed, not too hard at all, that's why I LOVE OEM parts, too easy. The paint on the bumper Warren sent me is much nicer than the other paint on my stock bumper haha. The only issue I ran into was once I was putting the new bumper on I forgot to replug the license plate light wire back in. 

The old bumper and taillights are out:

I had a Menieke cut off the old suitcase muffler and weld on some cheap tips I found, I am not 100% happy with how the exhaust is sitting so I haven't taken pictures of it yet. I am going to try and have it fixed before pictures of that. I might even wait until I find some nice looking tips online before pictures.
