Blackline install question

6SpeedMan · 07-20-2006, 08:21 PM

Should I pay the $105 for bmw to install my blacklines or is it simple enough to figure it out by myself?

looks great. alot of my friends saw the NA oem tails and the black lines on my car side by side w/ my friend's jetblack 330i and they were all like damn... oem tails look pretty bad in comparison to the black lines

Here's a pic on my SG:

Very simple to install; I recommend buying a plug-puller from Sears though, although people use two screwdrivers simultaneously and seem to have success. It makes taking out the trunk plugs WAY easier. It looks like a V-shaped prong tool; mine's made by Craftsman and cost about $9.

ksfrogman · 07-20-2006, 10:43 PM

You simply need a torx screwdriver, a flathead screwdriver and a metric socket set (I believe it's an 8 mm socket). It's very easy.

6SpeedMan · 07-20-2006, 10:52 PM

Alright it's settled, I'll put my money down tommorow.

Also I was thinking about getting an OEM rear deck spoiler, should I do it, or have you seen or heard of something better?

You have many choices here. For OEM, you have the one seen in my sig, then there's the OEM CF spoiler that a few others in here have.

There's ACS, Hamann (lip or spoiler), Breyton, etc.

Do a search on rear spoilers here on e90post.com.
