Some new mods

Got some new mods on my X7M50i

Wheels powder coated gloss black
Calipers painted red (came black from the factory)
Roof wrapped in gloss black
Headlights smoked
full front PPF along with mirrors, wheel arches etc etc.

Next Mods:
Wheel spacers, thinking 15mm all around
Painted front bumper reflectors
Front lip, haven't decided on which brand, open for suggestions.

Let me know your thoughts?

Looking good man!

Only thing I would suggest is painting the wheel arch reflectors.

Thanks and yes the painted front reflectors are in order to be installed with the wheel spacers

I just had mine tinted as well as all of my back lights. Much cheaper and easier than paint.

Yeah I don't have White, I have the Artic Gray and think it looks great. However my previous SUV was the Hyundai Palisade and it was white and I did a full chrome delete and tinted the lights and thought it looked pretty sweet.

You already have the black look so it would tie it all together.

Looks good! Spacers, reflector delete and tinting the tail lights would look good and set it off.

Thanks for the compliments, I can give you the shop info for quotes if you like. I had multiple things done (PPF, roof wrap, calipers etc) so it was all bundled into a total price. PM me if you interested.

It's funny you asked, when I was picking up the car I thought it looked lowered as well. I think getting the roof wrapped in gloss black gives you the illusion of car being little lowered and wider. It's on stock suspension.

I got it done at Speed & Tech Motoring, they should be able to give you a exact quote because I had other things done and it was all included in a deal.

Yeah the X7s in general just look to have a lowered look. Only thing I don't like about them. The mods look great especially the roof.
