I love it!! The one thing that I hated the most on the E60 was the eyebrow lights that came on when I run my angel eyes and headlights, getting this will eliminate those orange LEDS and will add a smoother look that conforms with the hood. I looked at the website and it looks awesome on a black E60, I might order a set. Was it easy to install C's Bimmer, thanks man.

I had a tint place install it, due to the curves of the light. I suggest doing the same.

Don't think I like it. Seems like you're doing a mod just to do a mod....overkill. Get rid of it C.
You watch your tone!

You were doing so well with your mods but it looks like it's about to take a dive straight to rice racer hell. LOL!!

Give me back those wheels...that car doesn't deserve them. And I think you should cancel the RPI exhausts and get those HKS cannon launcher pipes. HAHAHAHAHA

Hey C, I think it looks great. I have a silver 545i and have been considering the same... to bring in more color to blend with the tints. I was concerned about film on the outside getting damaged. I can see that the headlight film has more risk of damage from stones etc. than the taillight film. I also like the black kidneys. Been looking for a pic of black kidneys on a silver car. I like it. What about the sidemarkers? Gonna leave those alone? If you really have the mod bug, I will make an even trade with you when you are finished with the mods. I'll take yours and you can have mine and start all over again! Let me know if you are interested, I am always willing to do a favor for a fellow E60 member!

C, Can you take a side shot of the whole car . Maybe if you put the fronts into play people will get a better idea of the scheme. Looks good tho. It mixes well with the graphite wheels.

I agree. So far, a bunch of E60 members have seen my car in person since doing the eyebrows and agree that my pictures on this thread don't do it justice. They love the look with the whole car in the picture. I'll redo some photo's with the entire car in the shot, so people get a better idea.

My kidney grills are actually the Carbon Fiber grills, not black. My side markers are also tinted. I got the smoked markers from EAS. I am also running the invisibulbs to remove the "egg yolk" effect.
