I dont usually do this but im giving up. I put two of the trim pieces on and they were easy but the back ones i cant seem to get the rubber weather seal off. Im scared to rip/tear and ruin it. Therefore im going to put on what i can and then take it into the dealer and have them put on the ones i cant get. I painted the grille's as well. They look intense in all black...cant wait to get those on!!! Im going to have some dinner and a night out. I need to relax! Here are some pictures of my black pieces. Also my e60 clings are on, thanks Lomang for fast shipping!

ps. im going to do the bottom chrome trim pieces and the only two i wont be able to do is the two rear ones that are oddly shaped. Comments, thoughts, let em rip. Lovers love, and haters hate.
