3rd BMW, 1st Attempt at doing Mods... feedback welcomed!

Current mods on my f10 550i xDrive:
-After market M tech Aero Kit from Umnitza (fits wonderfully)
-Painted rear reflectors
-Staggered Style 433M 20" wheels, replicas similar to M6 Gran Coupe (yes the staggered fitment works on the f10 xDrive)
-M5 rear spoiler (installing it on this weekend)

Future Mods:
-50% UV tint on all windows
-New exhaust; I'd like it with a deeper slightly louder growl
-Lowering springs (not sure on this one cause I like the way its sitting on the 20's)

Opinion: Should I change the front grill to the M5 grill with chrome around black slits?

Below is the transformation, the first pic is the same day I picked it up....

Nice! drop her and the car will look night and day difference! Definitely add the exhaust if u want her to growl instead of her being quiet. I'd go gloss black double slat grills with shadowline treatment on the windows/doors/fender trim.

Love your 443s

Hi:

Love the look of your replica 443s. Where did you purchase them? I am looking for the same set up. Also, what tire size did you go with and brand?
Thank you.

I would say since you plan on leaving the other chrome accents than black slats w/ outer ring chrome
