LCI looks much better but a lot more money.

Please note, I'm approximating on prices:
Karbonwerke Trunk - $1000
LCI lights - $500
Paint - $200-300
Labor - $100

Here's a picture of my ass (I have a LCI though; that is the stock LCI rear bumper)

If you have a ton of money to spend, get the LCI trunk + lights.
If you don't, put get blacklines and put the rest of the money towards wheels. You can purchase the LCI trunk + lights at a later time, and you can always sell your blacklines, and get a reasonable amount of money back.

The LCI e90 looks good. Definitely "modern."

However, for me, I love the pre-lci e90 with blacklines. Not because it's what I have, but I prefer the more "classic" look in general.

-BMW or AFE intake which ever one is suggested more
-Aero Lip-But id like wheels b4 getting the Aero Lip
-HID angel eyes- I didnt think the lights would suppress my hunger..

Any input would help so-Cal

Intakes are always nice for sound/hp if you are turbo. Not much hp if you are not.

I would not get Eibachs now and switch to Bilsteins later, waste too much time/money (see labor).

I<3Aero lip.

HID Angel Eyes or LED angel eyes are nice but I'd rather put that money towards wheels.

I like the look of pre-lci blacklines too. Been meaning to get a pair for the longest now~
