Contacted Garry at BMWofNewport, 25% discount, he quoted $188.18 for all 8 parts. With approx. $20 shipping. I think it is a fair price.

51337072884 $26.21
51357072887 $31.84

I sent a PM to Quad M, he said he is only selling the shadow door trim with the M-tech body kits. He reason was he has no boxes to ship the odd shaped trim in. He didn't provide a price. I guess Garry is the best price to get it.

Found a local powder coating company that quoted $70 for gloss black powder coating. Thought that was a great price and compared to the shadow trim which is only flat black $200+. I will post pics if I end up going with the powder coating.

Did the shadow line upgrade, looks great. DIY very helpful. I had a lower piece that just wouldn't go in. Had to beat the crap out of it. Finally got it in. Top pieces just click right in, easy. I would post pics, but I think you guys know what they look like.
