***My 2011 X5 5.0 M package with MODS & PICS****

Hey guys,

This post is long overdue. I posted plain pics of my car last week and wanted to thank everyone for the help I got from here. I got my car last week on friday and just picked it up yesterday morning from the bodyshop after I got all my mods done. I did the following:

1. Blacked out kidney grills
2. Blacked out all emblems (X5 rear badge, 5.0 sid badge etc)
3. Powder coated the wheels high gloss black
4. Carbon fiber stickers on BMW symbols
5. Painted roof rails black
6. Tinted front windows to 35%
7. GP thunders for angel eyes
8. Rear LED license plate lights from Bimmian.
9. Painted from reflectors to white

The pics dont do it justice and I think it came out pretty well. Please do share your opinions and what you think. Thanks
Yusuf

Looks like you were at TGI Fridays getting 17 Pieces of Flair (from Office Space) . So, if you do all of those Mods I take it you are not leasing since you have to return it in a non-Mod state ?

Looks great - remember to clearbra your rocker panels, rear wheel flares and lower rear doors. They seem to do the job to prevent rock chips.

Very nice! Congrats!

Are you keeping the summer tires on or do you have a winter set-up?

I actually forgot to mention I did 3M just the front bumper (no hood), the rear doors and rocker panels-

looks great...did you give any thought to covering/painting the rear red reflectors (above the exhausts)?
