Stopped by JLevi's which is a minute away from one of our offices and picked up Tinted Side Lites & Matte Black Grilles.
Thanks to all the DIY'ers who came before me and gave great guidance on completing these mods. I installed both new mods in less than one hour!
No broken tabs on my OEM grilles and knuckles intact, but it definitely requires applying a little bit of your inner Chuck Norris.
Pix were taken with iPhone - I'll post better ones later...

Very nice. I love black accents on silver or white E60's. Looks great! Gonna do black emblems in the back and roundels?
