Very. Just remove a couple of covers near the headlight housing and you're in. Helps to have small hands, though.

By way of contrast, changing the AEs on my M5 required pulling the headlight housing out a number of inches from the body of the car.

I'll buy it from you for $35.00. You'll have a 17.25% profit.

I should have mentioned - Jesal and IND hooked me up with an excellent deal on the reflectors (like the best possible price). Thanks again, Jesal!

Two of them, attached to each other Veyron style. I'm taking out the passenger seat to make the turbos fit.

That's right! I currently only have one layer of TINT, so I need to add another layer.

No. I promise I ordered actual parts for the car.

Packages have begun to arrive.

First, the painted reflectors from Jesal and IND (HUGE thanks again to Jesal; note the top notch packing in LOTS of bubble wrap and a micro-fiber towel. Very nicely done.):



Next, all but one of the items I just ordered this week. Black kidney grilles (gloss this time, instead of matte like I had on the M5), and new pedals:



Still awaiting the arrival of a replica M3 lip spoiler for the trunk (color matched). Should be here by Tuesday; will look like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/230833697806...S:3160&vxp=mtr

One of our dogs (Rocky) saw me taking pictures and posed for a little attention:
