Aero Kit, Painted Bumpers / Plastic & Calipers, Smoked Tail lights, Xenon --- PICS

Well I got my car back and it looks GREAT... I had them paint the BMW aero kit and bumpers to match the car - then painted the titanium parts on the front back to black. Had the calipers painted red and the rear bumpers and the plastic pieces on the side painted grey as well. I installed xenon lights inside and out so you can see the license plate xenon in the picture below. I also had the Y-spoke powder coated black but I like the silver on silver look so I got silver ones again. Just on the ride home I got a compliment on the ride. The right hood isnt tightly closed in the pics, I realized after the pics were taken. The back looks kinda lower than its supposed to because I have the black 20" rims and tires in the back. Alright out to enjoy her new look.

Nice, looks good to me. They could not paint the door moldings? How much did you spend on the paint job if you don't mind me asking. Mine goes in on 29OCT07.

not bad!! i'm still doubtful about painting the stepbar to match... i kind of like the aluminum look instead... but your setup doesn't look bad...

also like the painted flares...and the aerokit is perfect!!

very nice..

Also - I guess you can just paint over the sensors - are they ultrasonic hence doesn't matter if there painted? Back looks nice with Aero kit...all uniform.

Why does everyone forget to black out the vertical bars behind the small grille right below the kidney grills? This is the best looking one I have seen yet of the mono-chromed models, but that little oversight is always the sore thumb of the modification. It does look better than the White and Silver ones I have seen. I think the darker colors look better with this treatment.

it makes your x looks bulky, not sporty. it looks like a huge metal ball dropped into a silver paint bucket. well, i want one like that too.
