Yay, LCI :)

Finally got my LCI tails and had Mike Benvo code them. Super quick!

Before:



During (It looked kinda cool):



After (I love the way they glow now):




The car has gone through lots of changes in the past 10 months. Haha...

I would hope so. I'd be pissed if they didn't at least pull the lights and exterior accessories to repaint my car.

Looks good BTW

Nice upgrade! A must for pre-lci cars I think, makes the car look as new or newer than some of the 2015 cars

Looks very nice, I am looking to do this soon too.

What kind of exhaust are you running? Those tips look badass.

Do you know what make and model the vinyl is?
I also had my jet black E92 wrapped in glossy white. After a lot of comparing different vinyls, I ended up choosing Oracal. But I'm still not happy with it since it's just no comparison between a glossy colored wrap and the real paint. It just lacks the "deep shine" and doesn't really reflect the light and so on.
I have it waxed which improves the look dramatically but it's still so far off

didn't pay much attention to E92 LCIs since I have a E90
but thought that only E90 makes big difference via LCI tails, E92 makes huge difference as well!
looking good

Depends on the shop and the amount and cost of the brand, etc.

Could be anywhere between $2500 - $3500.
