I've got an 08 535i black sapphire metatllic and trying to decide on what colors to use to mod my roundels. I'm trying to decide between all black, black and white, and black and silver. Any thoughts are appreciated. Current mods I've done myself are

smoked tails
smoked reflectors
Blacked out 535i badge and keylocks
blacked out the silver trim on the front bumper

I'm also considering pulling off my stock rims and plasti-dipping them to see how that looks as I'm a little ways off from getting new rims. Ideally I want something like the m166

TIA!

How'd you black out the key holes? How about the trim.

I used plasti-dip on the keyholes and the silver trim. Worked like a charm.

Not the best pics but here's the tails and bumper reflectors with the smoked film and the blacked out 535i and keylock (done with plasti-dip)
