What else for the body?

I have a 4.6is that I've been attempting to black out. I've powder coated all rims, added colored roundels to match my enterior color, did a shadow/blackout to all of my rear lights, and I just placed an order for a black shadow grille. Any ideas on what else I could do or if there is anything else? On that note, what else can you do in the interior? I have the Imola red checkered suede option...

Where's the pix? Let's see that black and red beauty.

If you have the aluminum dash trim installed, you can always have it power-coated black. Strangely enough, we have another Imola Red X5 owner with a trim fetish - albeit titanium instead of black. Maybe he'll see this thread and come out of hiding.

Sunil - who's X is that?

I've seen another X5 just like mine in Newport Beach that has that same body kit. I love the way mine looks without the added body bit. How can I add pictures on this site so you can see my interior and full exterior? I still haven't installed the new shadow black grille...

Any idea how to go about finding a place that can powder coat the aluminum dash on the inside?

To upload your pictures, make sure each picture is sized no more than the following limits - 1400 pixels x 1400 pixels, 341.8 KB file size. Click on the advance button underneath the message editing screen. You'll see a paper clip on the top menu. Click on that, and a second window will open up. You'll see 8 boxes to enter the file location and names of the pictures to upload.

Here's 2 Orange County based powder coating companies; both do small jobs:

My X5

Ok, finally figured it all out, thanks for the help. This is my X5, I haven't installed the shadow black grille yet. When I do, I'll put pictures up of it.
