My e90 with Black mods

igotaweinerdog · 01-04-2009, 05:35 PM

I just got my 330i in november and so far I have added a matte black grille and i used BMW Shadowline on the window trim to black it out. Let me know what you think

How it started

igotaweinerdog · 01-04-2009, 05:48 PM

all of the pics of my grille fail when I try to upload them

Coming soon... Tail Tint and Black Roundels

SE3P_to_E90 · 01-22-2009, 03:03 PM

looking good thus far... but i thought shadowline was a glossy black finish -- this just looks like the black on my 325

igotaweinerdog · 01-22-2009, 04:44 PM

it is the shadowline vinyl cover from shadowline.com its more of a matte black.

gdspshing · 01-23-2009, 08:39 AM

looks gd!

neejkoob · 01-23-2009, 06:54 PM

Looks good.

How hard was it to install the shadowline trim?

igotaweinerdog · 01-25-2009, 12:47 AM

not too hard at all once you get the hang of it. they give you plenty of material so if you mess up there is margin for error

sd390r · 01-25-2009, 01:51 AM

yeah doesnt look bad... i bought the metallic shadowline from BMW and it was like 400$

jerrybajwa · 01-25-2009, 02:05 AM

nice touch

Gumulri · 01-25-2009, 01:58 PM

E92-Lighting · 01-25-2009, 02:03 PM

BMW MotorSport · 01-26-2009, 02:13 AM

KkSc · 01-26-2009, 02:22 AM

i love the shadowline!

igotaweinerdog · 01-26-2009, 07:41 PM

Thanks a lot for all the compliments. Yesterday I had the tails tinted. Im pretty happy with the look although I wish they were a little lighter. one of the pics below is with the lights on, and one is with one side on and one off still in the shop. sorry for the quality its from my blackberry. new black roundels should be going on tomorrow

spenny · 01-26-2009, 08:55 PM

Sorry I just barely got my 335i so I don't really know where to look but where did you get the matte black grill and the trim? Are there some good sites to get aftermarket stuff like this? I want to murder mine out. All black!

mJ335 · 01-26-2009, 10:20 PM

Everything looks good except the tails.. please get blacklines, they're worth every penny, trust me.

igotaweinerdog · 01-26-2009, 10:26 PM

the black trim you can get at www.bmwshadowline.com the grille i just got at a local motorsports store. They have them all over online. try some of this sites sponsors

igotaweinerdog · 01-28-2009, 03:03 PM
