New pictures of side skirts and lowered. Another reason to color match is that the 22's look almost too big visually next to the black trim. I think color matching will bring everything together.

Yes sir!
I finally got the D to the bodyshop to colormatch.
While it was there, I had them fix a small dent in the right side passenger door crease where it was impossible to do PDR. This guy specializes in doing paint repairs on high end cars.

Pics from the bodyshop yesterday;









...also installing LCI headlights that I got from Gatoz, swapping in my pristine taillights from my X5M and doing LED fogs!

That's gonna look so much better and cleaner all color matched...I'm glad you posted pics of the door w/o the molding, I've been thinking about removing them for a cleaner look as well but now that I see they're not just glued in place I'll abort that plan

Gatoz is our very own private parts dealer...his prices are insane!

Agreed.

I would not have went to all this trouble if the truck were a darker color
...or if I had chosen a different wheel.

20" 214s would have looked perfect with the black trim, but I went with a 22" wheel instead. The larger wheels looked great on my buddys' white X5M, but didn't go so well with the original color scheme of my truck. They just looked too big instead of just right. Lowering the truck with H&R 1.2s helped alot, but the black trim still created an illusion of too much space for such large wheels.

This is why I decided to paint the trim.

While I'm spending money, I might have to swipe my buddy's wheels and put them on the "D"





and buy another set of these to match the LCI headlights I got from Gatoz;
