u should really browse through a different sub section on m3post. i know its a lot of material to go through. but no one person can help you out with what mods to put on your car cos what maybe nice to some (a loud racing exhaust for example) is ridiculous to others.

matte black grills are relatively easy to get. see the vendor section. tons of them carry it. just have to compare the pricing thats all.

angels: you can either just change the bulbs, which would cost you very little of go for one of the new LED based systems which would cost a pretty penny (usually above $250).

some other mods to consider would be wheels/tires?

as for tints, i have seen cars with 35% all around that looks great without being too dark. personally i have 50% in the front and 20% in the rear windows and back windshield... chose 50% because the cops here are quite strict on the front tints. search in the e90post section for "tints" and you'll see a range of threads with different % tints on various cars. this should help u decide what to get.

chip for an m3 ? not sure i have never heard about it, the tint law in CAL. states that in the rear you can have any tint your heart desires and in the front it can't be lower than 35%. Black or CF grilles you can paint them your self or contact LONGTRAN or **********s.com
