Got bored with the Pre-LCI tails on my E92 so I changed them a bit

Slow_335i · 03-31-2013, 04:55 PM

Used a clear red vinyl for the lower part of the lights to give them a more modern look.

Excuse the emblem less badge, cold winter made it fall off... (fail) New on on its way.

Start to finish took roughly 1 hour. I'm pleased

Best $15 mod, I think.

Thanks, At one point in time I had the car completely back to stock. I was planning on selling it for a Mercedes CLK55 but figured i'd keep the 3-series. long story short I sold everything before I made up my mind and now i'm starting from scratch.

ooohhh gotcha

btw that carwash pic that you took last year is my favorite pic of your car!

Hey Ant did that to his e92 awhile back. I think it looks cleaner on white cars though. the stock pre-lci red is too bright on a blue car in my opinion. Maybe if the whole thing was like 10% darker shade of red...

I like it. I had mine all red before I went LCI.

Btw, what's up with the emblem?

Yes sir

LACSTER · 04-01-2013, 10:41 PM

Looks great and I like to call these the poor man's lci.

I'm not calling the OP poor but it's such a cheap mod to change it up without spending $500 for the lci's
