i paid 100, i know it sounds kind of expensive for two pieces of trim but the quality was really good. U can probably find a place for cheaper or DIY with plastic dip

Spray paint kits sells at $80 (including primer sand papers paint n etc.) It seems like $100 from a dealer is not that bad IMO. Thanks!

I hated the silver finisher rods on my car too. Switched them out for the black 328 ones since I have a pre-lci. It really was a night and day diffrence.

Looks great , I just got into a front end collision with my e92 LCi
was pricing to put and M bumper on but once I got the list of things that needed to be changed do to the M setup it came to 2,800 in parts from the dealer.. so Looks like I will stick with ordering a replacement bumper
But the black paint will help on those " Fins "
Thanks for the idea...

why not just c/f wrap them?

:O oh mann, 2800?? Looks like thats outta the question for me too. Yea definitely paint the fins black it looks so much better.

How can you remove the right and left silver grilles behind the finisher rods on e90 lci. They are silver also, would like to paint

I just got done pulling mine off, I had to remove the bumper because they were too hard just to depress like the shortcut DIY says.

Such a pain in the ass for such an ugly part.

I just came across this post and just wondering has anyone tried or thought of taking out the finishing rod and putting in a m-areo front lip? If someone has tried please show some pictures and links to where you get the lips from.

Are they functional?

I actually like this idea best...well...next to getting an M-sport bumper.

Hey guys, I know this is an old thread but I came across this as I was looking for solutions to make my front bumper on 2011 e92 look better. I will probably try to plasti-dip the fins black and that will help but I was wondering, does anyone know if there are any lips that can be attached to this front bumper?

Ideally Id love to get the M-tech bumper with a lip but as mentionned above, this is a very expensive mod.

Thanks!

There's only 1 that I know of:

It actually looks pretty sick in person if you black out the fins, but personally I still like the m-sport + lip look more. I dipped my fins black for about a year before finally deciding that I wanted to go the m sport route instead.
