What Minor Cosmetic Mods Can I Do?
I just recently purchased a 2009 x6 5.0L white on red. I was wondering what kind of cosmetic mods I can do that won't cost me an arm and a leg but is noticeable. Was thinking about changing the chrome grills to black?
Any recommendations/links? Thanks guys |

I changed out the entire front grill set on my 50i to black and like it a lot better. This link was for pics of some LUX lights I Installed but you can see the black gives it beefier kind of look: http://www.xbimmers.com/forums/showt...&highlight=LUX |

Second is lighting - upgrade the angel eyes to lux LED Third - swap out the grills to BMW performance gloss black versions - will look great on the white IMO Last - rims. I would stick to OEM rims or a reputable brand like HREs but this is going to cost more $$$. Im selling a set of gloss black 214's that would look amazing on your ride. PM me if youre interested in those. |

Turner Motor Sports sell vinyl decals for all of the vehicles "BMW" emblems. Any color you want and really makes your car pop. Like $15 for a complete sheet to cover all of the emblems.

I am thinking about getting the lux angel eyes as well but the thing is I don't know how to install them and I'm worried for error messages as well as voiding of my extended warranty?
Black grills I think I am also going to get but would I need the matching mesh etc? Here are a few shots of my car don't have much. The rims need an upgrade for sure IMO. Thanks guys!!! Not my car but exact rims and what not! |

In case something does go wrong with your lights, easily switch them back before you claim something warranty like with the service. Congrats on the ride. |
