Mine is black saphire also and CarLab did the paint and install. They actually did all the paint and installation for my whole kit, the trunk finisher, the ACS roof spoiler and ACS diffuser, and the Hamann splitter..... Awesome work. I might be going there today to get my V1 hardwired. If you're available maybe we can synch up a time to check out the place.

I can't make it today but I love to check out your ride some other time. I am sure we'll run into eachother sooner or later. Your car has all the things I want for my car. Do you park the car outside and where do you live...... hahahaha

Yeah, if you want to do it by a third party, check out www.carlabms.com. Darwin installed several kits for members of this forum include me, freed0m, millhouse24..etc... They're right off Trimble and 101.

Welcome to the forum btw! Any chance you get your car in time to drive down to San Luis Obispo next weekend for our E60 Meet? haha

Below is the quote the dealer gave me. Can a third party do it for a lower price?

"The body kits would have to be put on at the
port when the 530 comes in. It would cost $3269.00 before it gets
here and $5200.00 after it arrives. Would need to know if you want it for
sure to schudle it when it hits the port."

I live in the houston,TX. Does anyone know where is the best place to go in Houston? Also is it going to be that much cheaper than going to the dealership? I was quoted 4400 by the dealer. What are most people paying in the Houston area?

I've seen on the forum about the average price paid was $2300-$3000. I think the $5200 price is a little high. Do a search on the forum and you'll see. I think third parties could meet or beat the $3200 cost. Call RJ's in Pleasanton and CarLab in Santa Clara. Also find out which body shops local BMW dealers use to keep the dealers price "honest". EastBay uses RJ and Concord uses Haws Import Auto Body. Don't know who Stevens Creek or Fremont uses. Hope this helps.
