Looking for some cosmetic mods

Hi guys,
My car was recently rear ended and it's in shop now.
I haven't really thought about modding the x5 but it's getting a M performance exhaust while being repair, so I might as well throw some stuff on it.
I was thinking of kidney grill, side marker and roof rack upgrades.
For the kidney grill, I looked at dual slat option like X5M but of course without a badge, and just simple black side reflector to match the body paint. Should I go for the dual slat grill or just simple single slat ones? I thought dual slat fills the space nicely. Is there any other simple cosmetic mod I should consider?
Also, what's the typical source you guys get your mods from?

Does anyone have a black car with dual slat and roof rack?



Thanks!

jlstyle , Feel free to take a look in my Instagram for pictures.
I personally would go with dual slat.

Dual slat and body colored reflectors are a must and are the simple mods you're looking for.

Thanks guys, and I agree about a body colored reflector, but I see that the swapping process can be a major PITA. Is there any lay over version for this mod?
Also, what's the name of the slat piece on the lower intake grill on front bumper?
It's like a flatten out Nike logo in silver on the front lower air dam or grill piece.

Yes, a PITA, but has such a huge visual impact IMO. Def worth it. The piece you're talking about on X-line cars is just referred to as the T-piece/bar. Some people just paint it black or Plasti-Dip it. DuSh recently had a post about it IIRC.

Found it.
