karriman · 04-13-2008, 11:14 AM

1- debadged
2- black stickers on Bmw emblems
3- painted front grill semi-black
4- painted side turn signal/chrome housing shiney black
5- painted front turn signal with silver high temp heat paint
6- drivers side key hole cover
7- painted front orange reflectors white (not installed yet)

future
- mesh on front and rear bumpers painted semi-gloss black (does anybody know how to remove them ????)
- remove muffler and install straight pipe
- drop it when dinan makes springs that work with EDC

Not bad. The turn signal is definately unique!

Mack211 · 04-13-2008, 11:27 AM

does light still shine through your side blinkers?

karriman · 04-13-2008, 11:27 AM

nah it doesn't

lucid · 04-13-2008, 11:37 AM

Looks good. I'd concerned with the front licence plate; it seems to be blocking airflow to the radiator although I don't recall how low the radiator is positioned exactly.

karriman · 04-13-2008, 11:39 AM

yea but i doubt its bad for the car

JEllis · 04-13-2008, 11:42 AM

Interesting approach

WCH · 04-13-2008, 11:42 AM

The side blinker looks better than I thought it would. Not my style but a clean job.

karriman · 04-13-2008, 11:50 AM

Likewise; besides the part of the main radiator, the engine oil cooler is behind there--not a good idea when the weather gets hot and/or you run it hot.

m3forever · 04-13-2008, 11:59 AM

What % is the tint

thanks

karriman · 04-13-2008, 12:01 PM

no tint on on it. my camera sux balls.

karriman · 04-13-2008, 12:02 PM

thanx lucid and greg, I'll prob. mount the plate on the bumper with double sided tape.

nusevad · 04-13-2008, 12:02 PM

Looks awesome, i think i am going to smoke my side blinkers too!

SHADY1 · 04-13-2008, 12:04 PM

zieglerc · 04-13-2008, 12:16 PM

Not my cup of tea, but it definitely looks like you've done an awesome job. Strong work!

MontegoblueE92 · 04-13-2008, 12:21 PM

I like the side blinkers, but definitely get the white reflector covers on ASAP!

bmwprince4life · 04-13-2008, 12:25 PM

batchelorc · 04-13-2008, 12:31 PM

fmquadri · 04-13-2008, 12:49 PM

by law you need one in Cali- but i've only got 1 ticket in my life for a front plate (17 years of not having a front plate) and that was when i was parallel parked in San Francisco OVERNIGHT.
