I've been thinking about doing the exact same thing. I don't really like carbon fiber and wanted gloss black instead. Please show us pics and link any parts (spoiler) you used!
I'm also interested in the sides (like the M Performance sticker but wrapped and with no text). |

Not sure if he is planning to freehand it or what. We were chatting about adding some other gloss black accents to the grill openings to create more depth in the front bumper as well. |

So after that I decided to just give it to body shop to paint gloss black. They told me to pick it up this Friday, so we'll see if it's ready. I'll post pics when i mount it P.S. This is ridiculous how much some local paint shops charge nowadays - one shop said $1000 I think they increase price when they see that it's for bmw x5 I bet if i came to them in some Mustang or Camaro - it would have been $150-200 max I finally found a indy auto shop that asked $150 - good thing is there's no need to match paint, just gloss black should look fine. I would have done this a lot earlier if not issues with finding a good body shop that doesn't charge arm and a leg |

Two of my good friends twelve535i and aw305 have done this mod couple of years ago. It seemed pretty straight forward but I think it requires two set of hands.

Just did Plasti Dip over a weekend. Took about 2 hours and results look pretty similar to the photoshop. Far from perfect but looks pretty decent. Probably will last about a year or two. Hardest part was getting the curves and clean line. Key is to build 4-5 layers and to pull the painters tape while it's wet.

I’m just waiting for the rain to stop so I can wash the car and paint the tips. I think it will look pretty damn good once that’s done. |

Yep, gloss black. I wanted it to match the other trim and future gloss black tips. He also only charged me $100 so I figure if I get bored with gloss black, it's cheap enough to just swing by and have him redo it satin or matte black to change the look

If I do end up getting the front lip I may actually just have him wrap that too, but I'm hoping I can find something different than the Mperformance lip. |
