Hey guys. I used the shadowline trim tape to test out the look on my silver e60. Im trying to decide whether or not to order the real stuff or go back to chrome, the tape is just temporary. Let me know what you think. I know you all hate the roof spoiler, so lets leave that out of this thread haha.

Just search "bmw shadowline" or "e60 shadowline" on ebay and you'll get some results. It just comes in a roll, its not model specific. To install I removed all the trim pieces, applied the tape, then reinstalled the trim.

Since you want us to lay off the roof spoiler, let's talk about those wheels.

And as I said, this was to see if it flowed well before spending the $215 from Garry. Definitely not leaving it taped up, dont worry
