Hello, as most of you know by now I'm a picture whore. Here is my latest. This weekend I put on my matte black grills, carbon fiber hood/trunk emblems/center caps, black chrome 530i badge, and painted my calipers black. I have to say that painting the calipers was a chore with that caliper paint kit!
It didn't help that it was 95 degrees out!
That's all I have for now...enjoy

Looks good,
Think you are now the only one here with 128's
Way to take the whole look thru with the CF/black (grills, center caps, and badges)...

I got them from this ebay seller.
http://stores.ebay.com/dongparts_BMW-Wheel...6QQftidZ2QQtZkm
The shipping was fast (3 days) and the quality is excellent. It looks like all of his prices went up $10-$20 in the last few days.
