I ended up doing the oem kit, since I have a 50i, I didn't need to swap the tips. My shop color matched everything.

Here are a few more shots.

IMHO, color match really gives the pop. If you want to save some $$, I would do the $600 Ebay kit vs $2500 for oem. My shop guy got one after my oem job, he was pleased with the fit and finish of the replica kit.

I pulled the trigger and got the eBay front lip. I ordered cans of my paint to color match with the body.

The install was somewhat challenging since I had to find angles for unscrewing the bolts.

I came out great!

It's and online store, they mix up oem paints. The mineral white is a 3 part. White, pearl and clear on top for shine. I ended up using the entire can for this project. I plan to order again for the rear bumper.

I love this! I've been looking for a non m sport lip that looked great. I'm also super happy that more than one person has had great success with it! I will definitely invest in one.

Anyone find something for the rear bumper?

Yes, look at my photos above for the rear and side pieces. I believe the eBay $600 kit comes with rear and side as well. Or BMW OEM kit for $2500.

My rear kit is coming in this week. Does anyone know how to remove the rear lower section? The BMW instructions are the worst.

Would the kit work with a 35i? Our rear exhaust is different (small wimpy lookin circles instead of the beefier lookin exhaust tip)

Also, do you know of anyone successful with a conversion away from the wimpy circle exhaust tips?

Yes, you will be happy to hear that either kit comes with the large tips for 35i. Everything you need is included.

A few members did it for their 35i.

Correct.

Also, eBay has 13% Ebay bucks back until the 13th. Google for details.
