So - I was unfortunately one of the many that didn't get my hands on the euro stickers. My question is this - is there a demand for more products like these? I am in conversation with a guy that I've used for a previous car, an Infiniti G35 Coupe that produces AMAZING overlays for a variety of different applications. Most of which are for headlights, tail lights, diffusers, etc. Is there any interest in him developing some products for our cars? He makes a huge variety of overlays for G35's, 350z's, and Japanese imports but hasn't ventured into German..... He will be calling me later this morning asking for specifics so if there is an overlay or sticker you'd be interested in voice your opinion please!

This is a very popular option and something we do for the 3 series folks all the time. We have it available for the E60 in clear for the headlights and fogs already if you are looking for protective film to prevent chipping. It applies right over the factory headlight and is a pretty straight forward install. I definitely recommend this to people who spend a lot of time on the highway and want to prevent chipping of the lenses over time.

Ah- he does overlays that are flawless for tinting of lights, removing the orange or other undesirable colors, etc. Here - go to www.bluebatmobile.net for an idea.

They are very highly in demand. Only to rid the small orange part. I have been messing around with some ideas myself to get rid of this and will be trying a few things. It would definetly be proitable as every single person who owns an E60 here would probably buy it. It saves a lot of money by not having to purchase euro headlights. PM me if you have anything ill be a guinea pig

I'm on the phone with Andrew (owner) now.... He's located in San Diego California and needs a donor car for an afternoon to take measurements and what not. He said he has been working with e90 members extensively for all sorts of overlays for various parts of the car. Is there anyone in San Diego area that would be up for talking with him and meeting him? His product is FLAWLESS and I've had nothing but good luck with him in the past. His name is Andrew Mercado, phone is 619-246-5207 - reference me (Adam) and the e60 forums if you contact him so he knows what we are talking about.

Where in San Diego is he from and how long would he need the car for?
