simple and cheap DIYs for E90

Ahmad11 · 04-15-2011, 06:36 PM

So far I have done:

-LCI facelift tail lights

-Matte black grill

-Golf tee mod

-License plate LEDs

-DeBadge

Is there ANY other easy mods that I can do!?

nope you dont need the whole switch.. all you need to do is make one little piece and cut a few tiny clips i used a pen cap and a nickel

Ahmad11 · 04-16-2011, 06:27 PM

Ok I might just try it! Do you know of anything else?

Can anyone share pictures of different pedals?

you can do eyelids/ambergones/ or lip splitters if they float your boat. just throwing some options out there :]

xoxoluvcrisxoxo · 04-20-2011, 12:23 AM

oh, and change the interior lights of your car to LEDs

jvxbimmer · 04-20-2011, 12:42 AM

if you have paddle shifters, you can rewire them to function like SMG.

I'm going to put a matte black vinyl over the ambers and the I'm going to do the window trim

yakev724 · 04-22-2011, 09:08 PM

...how exactly are LCI facelift taillights 'simple' or 'cheap'?

EDIT: I'm guessing the red vinyl, nvm then. lol

Ahmad11 · 05-02-2011, 08:41 AM

I put a vinyl over the amber side reflecters, looks pretty good. Needs some touch ups tho. I'm going to swap my oem angel eye bulbs for a 6k xenon white color bulb..is there anything else?

there are SO MANY things you can do to these cars without spending too much coin, but it takes a little know-how / skill.

ramirez330i · 05-22-2011, 08:27 PM

Can you explain to me what you did on your headlight to get those ugly amber reflectors to look better (black vinyl?)? did you have to remove the headlight or take it apart to do it and could you post a pic of how it turned out.
Thanks!
