Lol. You beat me to Mugen's rims. Saw them on EBay then after finally talking the wife into it, he told me you had first dibs. Good luck. They obviously look sick.

Don't plastidip the grill, talking from experience. My bro in law did the chrome trim around th headlights o his JCW Mini last weekend, and road debris is already chipping at them. My advice, get the grill vinyl wrapped. I will be doing mine soon. I will take some shots and let you know. I definitely encourage against plastidip for anything on the front. In all fairness to pd, I gloss blacked the rear deflectors and matted the polished inserts nd it has held up pretty well.

I checked out the X6, but I felt like the interior was dated, it was too truck-like, and I didn't think the price tag was justified. Especially when I drove the ZDX!! Plus, I love the look - just like the title says, it loks like the Batmobile. Even more when I'm done with it (with inspiration from mugen_kid). Here it is, just as I got it from the dealer (it's a 2010 Advance):

...OTFLMAO......Got my black on black 2013 "Z" last month with 20" wheels and running board, tinted front windows. The official name we gave it at home is "The Batmobile"..hehe.....
You did an amazing job especially with the tinting of the red back reflector and tintinf the chrome edges. For some reason I can't seem to be able to embed images from Flickr.
