Just got the painted side markers - how difficult is it to install, especially with the front-side camera so close? Any tips?

I think its a great DIY even though I didnt do mine myself. I had mine before my F10 was delivered so I asked them to put them on when it came in which they did. Let us know how it worked for you, good luck.

Thanks Kruzn335 - I looked under DIY last night but skipped the first darn post - it was a total breeze to install - just removed 2 bolts in front of wheel well and as able to get to it. Probably took slightly longer as I was super careful - I also installed the gloss black kidney grilles - looks so stealthy all blacked out....
caribz - got the markers from **********s.com

So what color did you get, I have a graphite metallic and I don't see that color on the **********s site.

I had to call them - you right - it's not on their website, but we got the color off BMWNA and they had to 'special' mark it - not sure why it's not on their website..
