I have been wanting to do this Mod for awhile. Really simple mod, but makes a big change in appearance I think. I also never posted decent pictures of the smoked sidemarker so I included one of that as well. Next mod will be to smoke the White portion of the tails. Tell me what you think!

I think it looks MUCH better then chrome. I have this mod on my ti-silver 525. IMO, I think jet black or metallic versions of black....look best completely debadged. That is not to take anything away from your mod, b/c it looks great!!! It's just my personal opinion. Great looking e60 and thanks for sharing
