I spent much of the day Saturday adding Shadowline trim, M-tech side skirts and black exhaust tips (come stock only on 550 Sport). I couldn't stand the chrome trim after I tinted the windows and of course the skirts give a much more sporty look to the car. I'm very pleased with the outcome so far.
Don't know what i'll do with the front end yet.

Looks great! how hard was it to do the side skirts? It is a nice stand alone mod even w/o the bumpers.

neat !
I'll be installing the shadowline soon as well - just tinted my windows and think now the chromeline is out of place..
how about you finish off the new look with the mkit front bumper ?

Keith, I aspire to have equivalent skills Bro!
Skirts weren't hard, (8) plastic torx screws and (5) 8mm bolts on each side. The hardest part was moving slow enough and having the patience to NOT scratch the paint on the skirts or on the stationary surfaces. MOVE SLOWLY or
I bought the trim from Garry @ Newport BMW in Rhode Island (g.romani@bmwofnewport.com). Very nice guy and he responds quickly to email. He give 25% off of all parts to forum members. *Edit: price for skirts was $185 + shipping.
