GTF wroteThanks for the info and links GTF...I like the tray and cargo liner - thanks for posting!At center, the bin is about 6" deep. The shelf divides it roughly in half...3" lower, 3" upper shelf depth. Except for the cheesy "X-5" (IMO) rubber liner, the insert appears to be good quality and fit.

Marty in Bgm wroteLooks like it was wrapped. That's the impression I get. Something doesn't seem right. I don't see the bolts coming up. Is this photoshopped. I just cleaned mine yesterday.Has anyone done anything like this yet? Either changed or painted them?
X54TH wroteRight, Photoshopped to get the idea across, couldn't find any replacements via web searches. Figured by now someone would have done something, they stand out in the engine bay.Looks like it was wrapped. That's the impression I get. Something doesn't seem right.

GTF wroteGTF, curious, which color is that Lloyd's Cargo Mat, is it the "Euro Grey" or "Dark Grey" Ultimat? Really like the look and a carpeted cargo mat. Seems to be a fairly good color match to the cargo area trim.Lloyds "Ultimat" front, rear and cargo mats were around $300...have used them for decades. The cargo tray ($18) came with some cheap rubber liners that I replaced with the mat carpet. Also used an old BMW CD case for 1st aid case.

Jgc650i wroteColor was Black....lighting may have made it look a bit lighter. Got same black for the front mats (which look/fit great). The rear mats are a one-piece mat, which I didn't like going over the small rear "hump" as well as the two-piece, but that's what is available.GTF, curious, which color is that Lloyd's Cargo Mat, is it the "Euro Grey" or "Dark Grey" Ultimat?

LexxM3 wroteI installed this on my car in Dec 2018, holding up really well including car washes and detailing...don't worry about it.This was today. First time doing something like this. Used the wet method. Harder than implied by instructions and really no particularly good YouTube videos out there, but the learning cycle is rapid, I was an "expert" by the 4th foil (of 6) :-). I think it will end up being fine, but let's leave this here as preview and if it doesn't fall off in a week and survives a car wash, I'll post more details and better pics.

LexxM3 wroteWow looking good no great!!!!!!Well, the foils didn't fall off the first day, so a couple of better pics :-)
LexxM3 wroteFront side markers are now white and your mirrors are now black along with your door handles. Did I pass the test?Ok, last couple of black-on-white adjustments added and the last (and likely most dramatic) step left todo is black wheels. Can you tell what the last couple of updates are?

(LOL, edit to remove the exclamation point after the animated bow icon — that did NOT look right, use your imagination).I just scored some mint black winter rims today that fit over M Sport brakes and just need 10-15mm spacers for the front (to clear the steering arm) and maybe 25mm for the rears (for position). Last major piece left is 21" or 22" black summer rims ... and tires for both sets.
Added a roof rack.

Where did you buy them from and how much?
I've got a black X5, but i think it will look okay since there is a grey tone to it

There was someone on the forum that had put it on a dark car. Here is the post: https://www.bimmerpost.com/forums/showpost.php?p=24489938
If you/someone wants to install themselves, there are a couple of techniques/tricks that make this work well, PM as I don't have time or pics for a decent DIY post.
Got some IND goodies installed on mine today. Gloss black Roundel, gloss black lettering, , paint matched rear reflectors, and paint matched rear wiper black cover.
The iPhone is making the Java Green show up a bit more neon green than in real life. 😂 Although it isn’t too far off…
Also added the side cover with velcros for some more useable storage space in the trunk.
