You're going to have to take the bumper off to remove the lower grilles.
And I like the black mats. I have black Weathertechs with my tan interior.

I have black OEM all-weather mats in my TL. I love how they tie in together with the dash and the black pieces on the doors.

The LED Angel Eyes look much better. Reflectors made quite a difference for such a small part. Pedals look great. And I agree with everyone else, paint the lower grilles black. I really like where this is headed.

I decided to make an effort at painting the lower mesh grilles; used this method (figured, if it didn't look decent, I could always spend the $60 on new ones from BMW) - http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...62&postcount=6

Thanks.
You have no idea...storing a bunch of my Mom's crap until she expresses a willingness to actually go through it and get rid of some of it. Suggestion - don't get old; apparently it makes you unable to part with 50 year old junk that no one wants.

I don't plan on getting old man. I told my wife already once I'm past my 40s I might disappear and never return going out James Dean style. Already at 35 and sh*ts going down hill lol.

I replaced the windshield twice in five years on the TL, and that was a pretty good record.

Looks great! Take some outside pictures when you get the chance.
I think a very subtle tint to the tail lamps (taping off the clear parts to remain bright) would really make the car flow better. I did mine and really liked the results. I'm sure a shop wouldn't charge much. They just need to scuff the lamps and add a little black to the clear coat before respraying.
