Truck looks great. Can I ask how did you black out the turn signal.

Sure thing!
And thanks for the compliment!
I had my auto painter just spray with gloss black
Exhaust tips, front and rear markers and even the side lamps" although I couldn't get used to them being black so i switched back to the stock clear ones on w the side markers"
None of the parts needed to be taken off the truck while painting and they have held up over the 6 months wife I've done the mod like a champ.
Exhaust FYI does not get hot enough to warrant special high temp paint just so u know. All The shops told me I needed it, but it's fine w regular automotive paint INMO.

Cheers and good luck.

I would also take the side emblems off!

EuroTra$H · 07-18-2013, 02:22 PM

Nice.. And I think it was wise to go back to clear side markers

Looks good! how did you get those front bumper reflectors off? I have a 2011 and they will not budge! i used a heat gun on the inside and the damn things will not come loose. I got the reflectors pretty hot and still nothing. I went thru the front fog light grill opening.

Nice and subtle, yet effective. I like it. I just noticed that you have those little "mud flaps" in front of your front tires. I don't have that on my M Sport. Strange.

Kzang · 07-19-2013, 02:00 PM

Sorry if I missed it but what kind of spray paint did you use for the exhaust?

You don't have to spray paint them. You can just buy them aftermarket from BMW like this.
