Ain't happening anytime soon. Aside from the financial obligations for a parent, I also just found out I need to pay for two sets of braces (my oldest son and my wife). I'm lucky to have the 335i.

Gorgeous house Tim 
Car looks great as well! It's amazing how small things like reflectors can change the whole look of the front end

Black floor mats in Beige interior? 
Just doesn't look right to me. Like when my dad ordered WeatherTech Digital Liners for his friend's Mercedes GL and the friend told him the wrong color. So the friend has beige liners in a grey interior'd SUV. Anyway, I like the mods on the car. Those painted reflectors make it look so much cleaner and those angel eyes are awesome

Love those pedals! I like the black mats in your car a lot. They pick up the black on the dash, steering wheel and center console really well.

The more I look at this picture, the more I think I'm going to have to figure out how to get those lower grilles out of the bumper so I can paint them black.

That is true, kinda adds to the contrast the trim puts to the dashboard. I'm still kinda pissed that where I ordered my OEM mats from specified the wrong color (they shipped me light grey, and me being so excited ripped the tags off and put them right in the car), and I don't really wanna go ask my Infiniti dealer how much the tan ones are, if any are even available. And as for the black lower grills: do it!

I was going to mention the lower grilles. Mask the bumper off and Plastidip them?
And the black mats look fine. I like cars with light colored interiors and a black carpet, it adds some much needed contrast and hides the dirt better.

Yea, it would be matte. If you put enough coats on, it should hold up. My grill on the CL has been fine since April of last year. I think I did 4 coats on it.
