I have a carbon fiber front lip, side skirts, rear diffuser, grills, mirrors and side vents coming, secondary cat delete, race chip and a custom steering wheel. Do want to do the Dinan Intake and an exhaust but it'll have to wait a bit.

Does anybody know how to change the color of the blue things inside of the headlights?

Awesome car.

I'm in the process of doing the same with my X5MC via Ben @ RG.

I'm going with DME for the tune tho. They worked on my Ferrari 458, so more comfortable using them.

Which side skirts and steering wheel are you going with?

Are you happy with the matte black? Wrapping my car and undecided on color still.

I'm ordering one this weekend! I've been wanting a flat bottom wheel.

Best of luck with your mods. Hope to share my story in a month as well.

I'm leaning towards satin white or chalk wrap. I have some aged bronze AL13's on order as well.

Cheers!

Have you seen the M Perf carbon front grills? Think that's too much? I'm undecided. Haven't been able to find a pic of them on the car.

How are you making out on the steering wheel? The google search results for "Bimmerplug Reviews" are concerning...

Coincidentally, I'm getting Instagram Ads from Carbon City Customs.

Also, decided on Matte Siberian Pearl (i.e. Frozen Mineral White) for the wrap.

Got the grille, lower inserts and rear diffuser in, waiting on front lip, side skirts, door handles and side vents, steering wheel should be in in a week and then the dinan intake and FI Exhaust and sec cat delete, slowly but surely
