Petter from Eurorev in Los Angeles by the LAX Airport (moved from Gardena) did the work and they did a great job! Blends very nicely. I've seen these on white 335s and think they looked nice color matched but, havent seen on a Black or Carbon Black. It turned out great.
Eurorev popped them out and I drove around a few days without them. It was white underneath in the molding actually kind of matched the clear reflector light on the other side of the wheel didnt look half bad that way either.
This is about as much as I will do for mods even though there were some pretty amazing cars they were doing work on and can easliy see getting into it.
Here's some pics:

I didn't realise that Carbon Black looked so 'Orient Blue' at certain angles - its growing on me.

I really loved the yellow reflector on the new M-Tech bumpers. I thought they looked amazing on the bumper than in the actual headlight. To each his own tho.
