4.6 Tips + LED sidemarkers Installed
 
So I finally switched out my magnaflow tips (which were sticking out too much/not too appealing) to 4.6 tips (thanks jayjay04x5) and they look alot better. now I'm just debating whether or not to get the 4.6 exhaust plastic trim or leave it as is..:dunno:

I also got the Bimmian LED clear sidemarkers, which look WAY better than stock, and match my clear headlights. Very easy to install too.

Let me know what you guys think :thumbup:

Look greattttt.

how did you put the tips on? just fit it into the original?

Nice one mt, or should I say nice 2 mods.
BTW is the RHS tip a little off level or is it an optical illusion ?? Definately go with exhaust surround, finish em off nice n tidy.

Congrats, mtX5. Looks great!!!

mtX5 05-14-2009 09:58 PM

thanks guys!

mrbmwx5- now i just need a 4.6 kit and i'll be set. (then again it still looks nice as is)

askhao- they must be welded on

X Foomph- nice catch, they are a bit off. We decided to leave them a bit because, as you know, i have an aftermarket system. after driving a bit with the last tips, the tips started to become crooked. so we decided to wait for a week so that if they moved even more we could adjust them all at once.


next mods:

DICE kit on the way from Tom G.
possible subwoofer from BSW/JL/ or custom option
finally repair front passenger headlight because larger angel eye is not as bright as the rest (hopefully on the way next week? been waiting forever)

looks great! now u just need the black plastic trim pieces that clip around the rear bumper trim and hollow out the exhaust tips

jayjay_dee 05-14-2009 10:12 PM

good job Mo, they look better... yeah, you definitely need to get those finishing trim, less than $20 for a pair i believe...
