Yup I know, but need to heal the cuts on my hand before the next mod, guess I'm not as handy as I'd like lol.

Took a few shots of the car today from my iPhone even the weather is not ideal.

Where did you get your MPPK installed? They would do ours at the PDC so I have to find a dealer to do it. I am picking up my Msport end of Feb.

For the OP beautiful car! Alan's car made me mirror some of his build too lol!

I installed mine at Elmhurst BMW, I dropped off the MPPK and MPE to them a few days before delivery.

How hard were the black tips. I'm planning on doing that to my X5, but can't decide if I should do it myself or pay a body shop to do it. I can tape the hell out of the bumper, but how do you ensure the paint looks good? No drips, etc. I'd love to hear from those who did it themselves. Tips, etc

The key is be patient, and don't be lazy on prep work.

Don't be greedy on each layer, it takes a lot of thin layer to make a nice finish especially you are painting it while it's installed.

I have the MPE, so it has a separate tip which I painted it before having it installed.

Search for the thread from Blackhawks .
