Cheapest place to buy mods?

Where have you guys bought your cosmetic mods from? I've been looking at IND but I can't see how a black M2 badge is $105? Or how the reflectors are $120. Have you guys bought these items for cheaper or just know of any good websites that sell mods?

There is almost always an "M" tax on parts for these cars BUT in this case I will defend IND. They buy the stock M Badge or reflectors and then paint to match. A large portion of the cost is the OEM part. You can take your car to body shop and have them pop your reflectors and badge off, paint it and reinstall for the just the price of painting and r&r. IND's paintwork is very good and they stand behind their work.

Is a painted set of $98 reflectors (I am sure they get a discount but this is about what you would pay if you want to replicate their process) worth $175? That is up to you to decide but the only much less expensive way is to use the reflectors or badges that you already have
