Poll: to vipstyle a e39 5er... what kit would you use?

[nezumimaru]

just gathering some opinion on my future plans for the 5er
this kit will have to flow nicely with genuine 19" VIP wheels
I am thinking work euroline DH or fabulous profound... that kind of wheels

which of these two will you choose?
let me know if you have better ideas... :)

my thoughs on HM5
pros
- low sweeping and fat... the car should look a lot lower with this kit
- very noticible change
con
- not a VIP company product
-not as unique

thoughts on AC nobleline
pros
-rare and unique
-made by a VIP tuning firm
cons
- not really that extreme for looks

i vote hamann, the AC kit looks alittle to much like stock :-\ only a trained eye would be able to tell

i would choose the profounds to go with it

hey nezu..juz 2 options?what bout other kit?ever thought of custom? ;)
i would vote autocouture with fabulous with kherazy fitment :D

[allstar]

hamann kit. molded front and rear lips. red/clear tails with LED. 19s with low offsets. SLAMMED.

well custom is serious work and money for me... as i am not technically inclined to DIY
I've always fancied on the thought of having those Fabulous extended long front bumpers with huge ass foglights
but that is way out of my budget range... and requires shops with decent skill level
so I am pretty much thinking the same thing as allstar right now... molded hamann skirts
but due to the adaptor spacers, I could only run the wheels at +30 minimum (my guess after oneton's insightful input)
which is still somewhat decent (imo) at 9J front and 10J rear, but not to the extreme spectrum

sux with the adapters..hahaha not interested in flaring if u decided to go wider?go to those bmw forum, i'm sure they'll be able to help u better in terms of maximum offsets u could go with certain size of wheels..m5 stock 10 or 10.5 width at the rear? :D

[nezumimaru]

nah... irreversible changes are not an option for me
but I might ask the shop to stretch and camber it for the wide look tho ;)

[TrueslideXL]

Get an Mtech bodykit and a Schinitzer lip.

[Xotic sC]

I would say Auto Couture kit because I am just too biased with it but damn...that thing looks like it needs a front lip!

I would say Fabulous Profound with AC kit...maybe if you slam it on air it'll look much better.

btw, does ANYBODY know where I can get that chrome Auto Couture plate?

outta those two, hamann. "not as rare" = ive still yet to see that around here. i mighta seen it on ONE car somewhere. modded E39's arent that popular, here at least

[shawnthemonster]

auto couture nobleline....just make sure you slam it with some nice wheels.

[555]

so nezu?decided yet?haven't heard from u for awhile here..

[nezumimaru]

well it's still pretty much a dilemma for me
as much as I dig hammans for the aggressive look
AC nobleline is very tempting still... being so rare and exclusive brandname factors
since i am thinking of getting those used 19" SSR viennas from memoryfab... might as well as make it in one shipment?

so if i get coilovers early it could be AC nobleline after all

[555]

DO IT!! No more dilemma :knuppel2: :laugh:
