Before and After - little upgrades
Vinyled the roof, black trunk lip, 20% tints, black grilles.
Waiting on my black mirror caps to come in. Just don't know what is the proper way to swap it. Tips would be appreciated! |

Did you remove the model numbers from the rear, or can the car be ordered that way? By the way, looks great! Love Alpine White, what color interior did you go with?

The black and white combo is always a great look. White color matched front reflectors from IND would clean up the front end very well. IMO

I am sure he removed the rear badges. I did as well, I do that with all of my cars - simple use of floss gets them off. you can use a heat gun first to loosen up the glue/tape but don't hold the gun too close or for too long on one area. I didn't both with the heat gun, didn't need it. After you get the badges off, whatever tape remains can be removed by rolling your finger, not the nail, over it, it'll roll off. finish up with Goo Gone - doens't harm the finish at all, at least not for me

Removing badges is the way to go. Butt naked looks so much cleaner.
With manufacturers badges, dealer badges, and dealer license plate frames you look like a rolling billboard!

Where can one get those white plugs you used to plug in the holes from the license plate?
Hate that the dealer drilled my bumper without asking.

I'm with you it sure does, most people in the M5 forum seem to want to let the world know it's an M5 or M5C can't let anyone think it's just an M5. hahaha I'm thinking about debadging my M5 but on my CTS-V a few years ago I ended up putting a tiny scratch on it. The badge corner just poked the car although it was tiny scratch it still made me sad
