nOOb Cosmetic installs

chilled_fire · 06-27-2012, 07:17 PM

Hello all,

I know most of you are great here with DIY but, I am new to BMW and new here in Jersey.
got my e90 LCI a month ago and was thinking of some cosmetic upgrades.
searched the forum and found some good stuff from jbspeed.
things i am planning to get
1. BMW Gloss Black Grills For E90 LCI
2. BMW M3 Style Trunk Spoiler (ABS Material) For E90 LCI
3. BMW Painted Reflectors For E90 LCI
4. Waiting for LUX Angel eyes to be available.

I know these are easy DIY setup but i would like to know if there are any shops around jersey city that would help me install these parts ?

Here's the recommended shop install, but I've even noticed there aren't too many body shops on there. I'd say contact ACM if you want to stay in NJ, but these are all ease DIY installs. The LUX eyes might be the only difficult thing you listed.

chilled_fire · 06-27-2012, 07:25 PM

^^^ that was quick

thanks.
Yeah i went through that list earlier today, most of them are performance related , this is as you said body shop + i am not sure which shop would entertain parts ordered from somewhere else.
Yeah Lux install looks slightly difficult. But they are out of stock now 3-4 weeks wait.
BTW, thanks for you help with coding got my angel eyes running and key fob setting tweaked last week

Do the research and do it yourself! Its really easy

chilled_fire · 06-27-2012, 07:48 PM

^^^ yo! coding expert

yeah i know they are easy ...went through the DIY section of this forum also. but still

I will oder these parts and then see if i can do it myself.

CJ421 · 06-27-2012, 07:57 PM

I'm pretty sure most enthusiasts here would install those in exchange for a six-pack.

Go to a local meet. Congrats on the car BTW, post pics.

chilled_fire · 06-27-2012, 08:08 PM

thats a good idea

as for pic find it attached..

benzy89 · 06-27-2012, 08:30 PM

AE's are lookin good

chilled_fire · 06-27-2012, 09:09 PM

thanks, would love to get the Lux , white eyes looks better.

jetblackcoupe · 06-27-2012, 09:38 PM

I was in the same situation when I first got my car... but then I decided I had to start somewhere and I installed the reflectors and lux h8 and a few other things by myself... it's worth it. if not, go to autocouture in fair lawn!!!

there is a good ebay vendor that sells the trunk spoiler painted for like $59, there is a thread about it, the vendor's name is sometimg like emotors2000 i think, quality is excellent and comes with the 3m double sided tape, very easy install

You can definitely do the yourself, but if you don't want to akmotorwerk in hillsborough has very reasonable prices. They're a supporting vendor on here. GL! Congrats on the car and welcome to the garden state

nyalpine90 · 06-28-2012, 08:46 AM

U need to remove interior to do all that stuff u posted

NJ330i · 06-28-2012, 09:45 AM

Those are easy things to do. You should really do them yourself.

Thanks guys ...but,
i had a few bad experiences with EBAY in the past so most likely would stay away ... plus there are some very good reviews about jbspeed here.
