like if you see a five series driving down the road with black kidneys, you know you can wave to them.

you could do it in plasti dip and take it off if you don't like it.
Absa-friggin-lootley agree with KB here. Black window trims would look sweet and black kidneys would complete. I had BMW here in Oz quote the window trims (I think they call it shadowline) and the transition would set me back $3,500 but a local wrapper with a good rep willl do it for $495. I'm sure the OEM would be the better option but will never get that back in resale value. Props to you for the work you have done to date Bud.

Thank you very much.

I definitely am not going to do the shadowline trim. Just don't think it's worth $400. the black grill, I may do. Since I can get them cheap and can always sell them if I don't like them.
ok, that's it. gonna order a set now.

Great job on your F10! May I ask a few more details on your rear bumper? I too have the non M-Sport bumper, and want dual tips. So, you cut the oem bumper to fit the tips and put that CF cover over it? Do you think I can cut it clean enough where I don't need to put that CF trim on?

Good luck on the sale of your parts.
