Some updated pics of my E60 M5!

I appreciate the comments guys! I love the car as well. I am leaving for Vegas in 3 days for 2 weeks, and the car will be at my body shop getting some little tweaks and fixes, along with the wheels. I am so nervous because I can't make up my mind on the finish. I keep going back and forth with my opinion, and keep wanting to do them a deep Blood Red for some reason. I've had SO many all black cars, and I am just honestly getting over the look. When I see another car with it, I LOVE it, but when I go to the garage, I am just over going to an all black car. I've had an all black excursion, all black Cayenne Turbo, all black Cayman S, all black Jeep SRT8, and this M5 has been all black before.
How bad do you think it would look in a deep Blood Red? Can anyone do a serious looking photoshop on the car with that look? What are your thoughts?
Oh, and also while its at the shop the side grills are getting done in black, the top of the headlights are going to be solid black, and hopefully the brakes will be painted. How hard is it for them to do something like that? I have always powdercoated them in the past, but don't have the resources I used to. Do they just paint them on the car? If so I will tell the body shop to go ahead and do them in Yellow or red.
TIA guys,
Harris

If you are going to do the wheels, do them black with a yellow stripe and powdercoat the calipers yellow as well. Or just leave them alone and do the calipers yellow. When a car is all black, you can't see any lines, it just looks like a black blob. It needs some sort of contrast imo. Good luck with the beast!

Don't ask me, I suggested it a couple posts earlier!
I would complement the car with more red accents here and there.
