Ahh good old Canada pricing. $2000 hmm it does look quite sexy thought. I think it is worth it. Wrapping a car will cost you that much anyway. I might go this route next time.

Looks awesome, got the same

But looks fantastic when you don't need to put the front plate on.

that's a nice look tinting the lights, need to find out if it's legal here.

I have the same model and colour, can't tint the front windows but the rears are done.

What interior do you have?

Also you have that orange reflector on the front wheel arch, I saw someone change that to white, shame that you need to have it.

Technically you can tint it too to dull it a bit but it is Transport Canada regulation to have those from the factory. I have changed them in the past with colour matched reflectors etc as not something cops look at very closely.

The interior is basic black!

Not personally a fan of the frozen paint job when they first appeared; but have to say the Artic grey looks great on the 550 especially with the contrasting satin chrome accents.
Having seen an M5 last year in frozen Cashmere Silver (the last colour I would match with an M car) I guess I'm a convert now.
Wouldn't personally do the darkened lenses or full tints as I think that's less classy.
I like the Sun protection Glass especially with certain colours but not keen on the contrast with front windows from the side.
I know it's not a big deal to get them tinted as well , but here in the U.K., that's not a great look and gets you labelled as someone who's not keen to be seen....

I personally regret getting the Frozen Arctic Grey for my car so far. Rock chips are crazy since one day getting stuck in a bad weather situation on the highway. I see marks, scratches on the side which I can't tell if they came from an act of vandalism or just random shit rubbing on it. Unless you're gonna 3M the entire car it's virtually impossible to keep it spot free and if you're OCD like me that shit's gonna bug you like crazy. It does look great, no doubt about it but just the upkeep and longevity is not quite there.
