Simple Mods

SeanS54 · 02-13-2011, 07:17 PM

Picked up a set of matte black grills from Jlevi. Got the matte vinyl window trim from Modprojekt. Got the tinted headlight corners from bluebatmobile. Diy-ed the silver bump trim matte black.

Cheap/simple mods that makes the car look a bit better and more aggressive.

GREAT start. How was the installation for the vinyl trim?

e90injrz · 02-13-2011, 07:22 PM

wow, didnt realize how bad it needed black grills until you did it, Classy.

JGMODS · 02-13-2011, 07:49 PM

Car looks great now, the trim really made a difference! Glad you like it.

are those headlight amber covers a piece of vinyl or is it a little thicker, like a plastic piece?

I got it done through a local group buy held by Modprojekt.com. Installation for me was just grabbing dinner and waiting.

It's tinted overlay, not a plastic piece. It comes pre-cut and you just have to do some minor trimming to your liking. Apply with soapy water, a squeegee/credit card, and a blow dryer.

Verbiage · 02-14-2011, 08:38 AM

Dope! I feel like all E90 pre-LCI's NEED those black grilles. They look like they should have been there to begin with. The chrome just draws way too much attention to itself.

hipnotic · 02-14-2011, 09:19 AM

makes a difference

sn0pea · 02-14-2011, 11:56 AM

Yeah, go for the rims bro. Make the biggest difference!
