I got it done @ Indys 101 Customs in Scarborough.

I got quotes from multiple shops and even though they were the most expensive, they were the only ones that didn't complain that the paint would come out textured since the plastic is textured bla bla bla.

Indy said that if I wanted it smooth he would make it smooth and it would have no issues, he was right!

Would highly recommend them for any paint/body work in the GTA.

Those look way better than the dull yellow lights. Cheap easy mod.

Which brand did you go with

Please send actual link to this. Cannot find in their website database. Thanks

I was a moron and didn't read the e-bay description as i bought the decal stickers only and not the emblem.

The ones that I have are only stickers are well. They go over your OEM emblems.

IMO they are better than the aftermarket ones.

They do not peel off and are super durable.

No, what i'm saying is i only recived all black stickers. Not the emblem sticker that has the silver BMW imprint on it with the lines like you have.

Yes, that's what I have as well.

They come in 1/4 circles that go over your OEM emblems.

All the other lines and writing stay original.

Car looks great I know what you mean about dealing with body shops that don't want to paint our bumpers

The tinted tails look nice! Almost don't need LCI tails.

Yeh, I was trying to avoid shelling out the extra $$$ for LCI tails...would have still been nice to have though

Am in the same spot, I am close to pulling the trigger but its not the cheapest and most "bang-for-the-buck" mod.

Looks almost like mine, been wanting to colormatch my bumpers and fenders for a while.

Hey, I see that you have magnaflow mufflers, how are you liking those?

I wanted to do some exhaust work but I'm not sure if I should just cut off the stock exhaust and get resonators or put in aftermarket mufflers.

I have the 4.8 as well and want to hear that v8!

I already cut out the stock resonators and put in an x-pipe, but that didn't do much.

Where in Toronto are you located? I would like to hear how it sounds.

I cut off the muffler and added pipes and it was loud enough to cause multiple car alarms to go off on cold starts in my underground lot. Thats why i put magnaflows.
