Newbie, want to begin with cosmetics

I bought a SG 2007 e90 around a month ago, and i want to start with the mods, i do not want to go expensive because im still a teen, i just want a few things here and there. I feel like SG is the hardest to do things with.

Im thinking about:

Tint- 20 % or 35?
OEM BlackLines
OEM Spoiler

Can anyone help me out with prices of everything with the install ?

Anything else you suggest? Where should i look to buy things? Should i buy from a website, then bring it to a place to get it installed? Or by at the place and have them install it and everything? Im newbie and anyone who will be glad to help id really appreciate it!

painted reflectors and led bulbs are usually cheap mods...if you are going to be doing a lot of modding, then try to read up about them and try doing some yourself or find a reputable shop around your area..

you can always check around the For sale section in the Exterior/Cosmetics thread for used blacklines and the oem spoiler for cheap. thats where i got mine, and they are really easy to install your self.(just check the threads everyday, there's always someone selling blacklines and etc.) if you want to buy new i would recommend http://getbmwparts.com/

this shop has a great list of reputable shops:

true, if im going to be doing a lot of modding it is much less expensive for me to do them myself.

painted reflectors sounds good, and what exactly are led bulbs? what about angel eyes?

We've got the painted reflectors for you, check them out on our site or shoot me a PM. For AEs, if your car did not come with them, your out of luck (will need to retrofit OEMs)

SG is one of the best colors on the e90. Looks good with almost any combo really.
