Some minor modification to my Black F10 550i
So i've decided to make some minor modifications to my 550i.
The car's original color is black with black shadowline trim, and since it's not an M-sport, exhausts are chrome and reflectors are all stock. So i am going to have my Exhaust tips painted in gloss black just like a car, and while car is in the shop, we'll have reflectors sprayed as well. The shop i am using to do the job is somewhat famous in GA, Zintar's collision. The guys does an incredible paint job. In the future i would like to get a trunk lip and roof spoiler maybe. Yellow fogs and European license frame in the front ( since we don't have front license plate here in GA) Am i missing anything? should i do anything else? |

mine is a 2011 year model non M sport, so it has different looking diffuser and in order to put quad exhaust, i will need to cut old ones out, and it has that vacuum exhaust opener which i don't want to mess with. On the top of everything, my car has warranty, and i don't want to find out one day that my warranty was void because of some innocent exhaust tip change. |

the tips look nice actually, and so if your not really not looking to mess around with exhaust, IMHO i think you should just let it stay stock..because it looks good nonetheless

How is your tint working for you, is it hard to see the blind spot detection lights in the mirrors, or is it difficult when backing up at night, what % did you get?
