My 08 328i

kevbarreto · 06-24-2015, 12:44 PM

Hey guys! Here's my 08 328i. I've had it for just about two months now and could not wait to start changing the look. Here's a few updates with things I've done so far.
First thing I did when I got the car was ordered a pair of the gloss black kidney grilles to replace the chrome ones.
After a good wash and waxing I then took of the front license plate then got the front lip installed then painted.
Living in Florida there's no way I could live without tint so I went and did 15% tints all around.
Next thing I HAD to do was to get rid of the chrome window trim. I had it wrapped by a place called Carbon Wraps of you live in the Orlando area. Awesome place. He also went ahead and wrapped the Orange reflectors while I was there.

Thanks man. Next is going to be wheels and suspension. Still looking around to see exactly what I want to do as far as that goes. Also some smaller interior things that I would like to do that only I would really notice haha.

I was actually looking into the split arm rests. What headrest did you get?

I paid $200 for the gloss black. Worth every penny!
