Where did you pick up the eyelids?
Sorry it took so long. They are actually a wrap.

That really looks nice. My 7 is this color and my wife wants me to go back to this color once I order my car. With the car being that dark, do you sometimes think the black accents and wheels are washed out. I am having a hard time deciding to go with bkackbwheeks or a brushed silver or graphite similar to what I have now.

It's all personal preference. I tend to look at the overall clean lined silhouette of the car as a whole so all of the dark colors working together are appealing to me but I can easily see how people would prefer some contrast in colors.

Also, It's hard to see in the picture but my front splitter, rear diffuser, spoiler, mirrors, side skirts, and side vents are all carbon fiber so in person in the light you can see the transition from DGM paint to carbon parts to black wheels more clearly.

At the end of the day it's your hard earned money paying for the car so go with what works for you.

I was thinking it's the lighting also. I wish I were able to see in person to get a good feeling of the car. Thank you

Recently picked up my newest BMW and I love the DGG.

Planning a few cosmetic modifications with carbon fiber before starting performance mods. I'll keep you all updated.

Well it took me 3 months to get my grill shipped but it finally arrived today. It's a carbon fiber dual slat grill from RW Carbon. Here are a couple pics of it along with the other trim pieces I have replaced to match.

The spoiler is actually the Autotecknic extended high kick version. I specifically wanted that one because it is like the BMW-installed one from my 2015 F10 535i.

Link to the webpage - https://autotecknic.com/collections/...hst=collection

I only have this one picture from the side right now. I will try to get a better picture or two in the daylight.

Come on, there must be someone that has an LCI in this colour, known to me and my fellow Europeans as Sophisto Grey.

I've just ordered one and now have to wait until March, so need some pics....

Mine is in order, but saw this at a local dealer. The shadow line package makes the color pop.
