Quick pics and a list of mods!

Definitive · 09-20-2009, 10:30 PM

Alright, so I got my X5 about a 10 days ago. Its my wifes car and it has already been through a lot.

Kids car seat is in, and the crumbs are all over already. Not to mention I was glueing something on the car seat, somehow ended up gluing my kids Croc to the seat!

That was fun. got the shoe off but it left a spot of blue croc stuck to the seat.

Guess Ill have to buy a new seat cover some time soon. Any one know any BMW salvage yards in LA?

Anyway on to the Mod's.

V1 Hardwire
Clear Corners
Matte Black Wrap - Chrome on the grill and the gray blades in the lower grills
Light Tail Light Smoke
Front Window Tint

Here are some quick pics from in the garage. Ill post up proper photos soon.

Thanks for looking

And you're sure your wife wanted all those mods?

Vintage · 09-21-2009, 11:00 AM

where did you but the clear corners? - I love the black trim

Definitive · 09-21-2009, 05:09 PM

Thanks! I got the reflectors from EAS, $25

CyberDude · 09-23-2009, 08:38 PM

Do you have a link to the web site with the clear corners and part numbers? They look really nice!

datbimmerdoe · 09-23-2009, 08:48 PM

Nice! I was thinking about painted reflectors, but the clear looks clean...

Any better shots of the rear with color? I'm thinking about smoking my tail-lights...

Definitive · 09-27-2009, 04:28 PM

Thanks! Here you go. Is this for your e92?

D

Definitive · 09-27-2009, 04:28 PM

I went pretty light on the tint for the lights.

///sniper · 09-27-2009, 07:48 PM

Appreciate the pics! This would be for the E70. I like how yours looks, but don't know how light or dark I want to go. Also, I don't know if I want to tint everything or leave the reverse lights exposed. Regardless, your wife's car is coming along nicely!

Definitive · 09-27-2009, 09:48 PM

Thanks a lot! I am debating trimming out the white strip as well. But after that you cant go back... So I dont know. Ill do some photoshops.

Is your e70 AW as well?

Definitive · 09-27-2009, 10:02 PM

So here it is with the white cut out. What do you think. First is how it is now, second is photoshop'd.

D

///sniper · 09-27-2009, 11:03 PM

Every Bimmer I'll ever own will be AW. HAHA!

As for the photoshop, it looks great completely covered as you have it now with the light tint. If I leave the white though, I think I'll go darker. If it doesn't work out too well, I'll just have them filled in with strips of the tint film...

davidy1688 · 09-28-2009, 11:27 AM

darker looks better. how much it costs for tinting on taillight? where did you order it? thanks.

Definitive · 09-28-2009, 12:08 PM

I had the tint done with the front windows here in Camarillo. It was 150 total.

Jason · 09-28-2009, 12:15 PM

Very nice!!!

J-boogey · 11-08-2009, 04:15 PM

have the same truck just need to get the clear reflectors. Do you know if they make a clear set for the rear of the bumper?

Definitive · 11-09-2009, 12:27 AM

Hey Boogey, The reflectors are cheap too $25! You wouldent want clear on the backs. Either tint like I did(or darker) or do matte black. Im thinking of doing mine matte black soon, cause I just dont like the red down there.

D

J-boogey · 11-09-2009, 10:55 AM

Once you posted the link for the reflectors i ordered them asap haha. Yeah i guess i'll tint them the red is fkinn ugly! Were did you purchase the black grill and body blades?

Definitive · 11-09-2009, 12:00 PM

I actually wrapped them myself! Got some matte black vinyl from a local car wrapping place and went to it!

Takes a few tries to get it going but the end result was amazing! All you need is a heat gun, scissors/knife and the material.
