Otis - car looks great. What did you do for the X7 emblem? Satin, polish, matte? Vinyl wrap paint?

Cost $25.

For the exhaust tip, I used stick on exhaust covers. X7 uses the same exhaust tip as X5. Just search for "Exhaust covers for BMW X5 G05" and you'll find them. Unfortunately these exhaust covers only comes in quad pipe design.
Cost $40.

For both options, I can revert back to original chrome design fairly easily. Just need to remove the wrap and exhaust covers.
Can you share a link to the vinyl wrap you purchased? And do you know if the vinyl wrap leaves any residue if it ever has to be removed?

Thanks!

Finally Dual (Non Quad) Black Tip insert

Always thought the quad one looks awkward and was hoping someone would make just the regular Dual black exhaust insert. Upon searching again last night and found one. Ordered instantly... haven't received it yet. Hopefully it's good

They look and fit better than the quad ones. Only had them on a for a week so don't know if they will hold up. The paint on the quad ones started peeling after 6 months.

Do certain models come blacked out? My 2020 Carbon Black MSport came blacked out from the factory.

If you are talking about the blacked out trim and front grill, that is the Shadowline Trim package which is an option on any X7 with the M-Sport Package. Shadowline Trim is not available on the Luxury Line package. But if your M-Sport X7 did not come with the Shadowline Package, you can purchase the pieces separately - specifically the grill, tail gate trim and exhaust tips (which is what I did).

The “hockey stick” trim pieces on the side of the M-Sport package are always black with the M-Sport package.

Sorry, I was referring to the exhaust trim. Mine is black. I guess this is also part of the Shadowline Trim package?

Im planning to put a layer of ceramic coating on it, hopefully that will make them last longer
