Thank you! The roof has some damage on it and needs to be resprayed so i figured might as well paint it black. I'm familiar with vinyl and had few of my previous vehicles roofs wrapped but on the bimmer, i'm not really concerned with the resale value due to having many younger cousins in my family who buy all my cars from me after i get bored with them lol
btw, how do you post pictures on here? i tried through flickr but it didnt work..
Hmm interesting... do u have a link to the retrofitting? Is it as simple as taking out an old bulb and installing the new one? And honestly, i know the oem bulbs are 4300k but mine look pretty damn blue still.. more like 5 or 6k maybe because my car only has 30000 miles on it..

I have to make the DIY still...I think I'm one of the only people who have done the retrofit. Its a little more involved then just swapping bulbs..you need to tap a couple wires and drill a small hole. Its pretty easy though....maybe 1-2 hours worth of work maximum but totally worth it.

Welcome to the forums! Looks like you've got a great list of mods so far. I can almost guarantee that you will be adding to it. Modding is so addicting. Please do post pics when you get it all figured out. Send me a pm if you need help with it.

I usually upload pics to Flickr and then just use the IMG BBcode on here to include the image within a post. You just need to make sure to link to the actual image and not the Flickr page.
+1 I came here to just change my angel eyes and ended up spending way too much money. lol

ah okay that makes sense. Then painting is the way to go.
