E90 Trim Swap Q

ljg335i · 08-03-2007, 11:41 PM

Hey guys,

I have the opportunity to pick up a set of black plastic trim from another e90 owner who switched to chrome. The trim looks slightly bent in the pictures, as I imagine it would look like when removed. It has slight bends in basically all the pieces. Just want to make sure it will work before I ruin my chrome bottom piece.

Let me know if you have any experience or insight regarding this sort of thing.

i wouldn't buy a used trim piece... i had to replace a trim piece and removed it myself. I am very careful, and still did damage that i thought was really unappealing to me. but if you aren't as picky as me, i guess is fine

Do you mean the lower black trim - 3 pieces for the bottom of the front bumper?

If so, the 3 parts together are like $35 new or less, and you should buy them as such, as are the silver pieces.

Yeah, are you talking about the window trim on the top or on the bottom?
