Hello All,
Mark here. I just traded my 09 Challenger R/T for a 13 Patfinder. It was all stock when I purchased her, but now I added a few things and I'll be adding some more. Just little things to set it apart from the rest.
I'm 53 and still a kid at heart, I'm also a Moderator under the same user name on Bimmerforuns.

Very nice. I didn't like the style change they did, and think it needs a lot more to look like a mean off-roading vehicle, and you did just the right things haha.
Off-topic, is the 850 in your name for the BMW 850? Just a thought

My buddy's dad died of cancer and nobody knew he had an 850CSI. Drove it very conservatively but I loved it for those 10 minutes.

Need to get her up in the air a few inches, plus some wheels and tires and I'll be ok. Plastic dip to what? Body color?

I drove her daily for 7yrs. Had her to 176mph once and still pulling. Usually cruised her at 140/150 most of the time. The car was designed for the autobahn. Main purpose, cover long distance at high speed, she did that well. Car got a bad rep from the beginning. I had a lot of money in that car, lots of mods, the wheels alone were $10k. HRE Comp90 3pc Forged. Specifically made for the E31 chassis to run the widest tires front and rear. 19x11.5R 19X9.5F. 295/30/19's on the rear.
Sorry about your friends dad. 😞
