Started adding small stuff

Just started adding things to my 2011 x5. Tinted the front windows, blacked out the front grill (although i dont have a picture of that), I have black and white bmw symbols which i might add, haven't decided yet, my lux head lights are on back order along with the bumper reflectors, and i changed the license plate lights. has anyone changed the exhaust? If so , did it improve the sound any?

I went to high tech in jersey city on the blvd. Just tell them to match the factory tint and they know which to use. Takes like 35 min and your done.

Painted Reflectors are a must if you're changing "small stuff". Makes a huge visual difference for a little $$$.

Your white X5 just looks so clean. Does anyone make the clear euro front fender reflectors for a 2011 X5? I've seen them on the older models and they look great.

Some small new additions. Changed all the bmw roundels to black and white on vehicle and rims, intalled the white bumper reflectors (why bmw put those orange horrible things , i have no idea), Added LED license plate lights, tinted the windows, installed the all black kidney grills.

And the best mod on the car, is the PBA license plates
So yes, I'm that guy doing 100 on the parkway

Its pouring here in jersey so the car is getting dirty. Im cleaning out my garage today so the car is out getting filthy lol

Im seriously considering going the OSS route for my head lights.

Fitted the AC Schnitzer rear box and dual tail pipes bought from G.M.P. Performance - great sound and looks good.

that is the exact page where you can order everything. as for the tint, im not sure what the percentage is, i just told them to match the rear factory tint and they knew what to do. Im sure most good tinting places can do the same for you.
