Is it possible to remove the 3 body colored strips on the e90 sedan lower bumper? I like the black mesh thats on the coupe bumpers, and maybe I could paint them matte black or just remove them. Thanks!

This is probably the easiest way to do it:

True. I'd wait until I was ordering a few other things as well to save on shipping.

Yeah, what other mods would you recommend on a cheap budget for exterior? Id like a lip spoiler, but being arctic metallic nobody stocks that color...ugh

M3 deck spoiler looks good as well, blackout kidney grills would def go good with the black rods. I actually did the opposite - got the grill and then noticed how out of place the rods looked.

I bought a set atthe dealer. Was about $40 and they only came in flat black ( which looks great on my black 335) but I wish i would have seen that link first, woulda saved 20 bucks...

I did the same you did, got the matte kidney's and looked directly at those out of place rods! I have the bmw 197 style wheels coming, the ones off a 328i coupe. I can get a m3 lip spoiler painted for $120 off ebay, have you seen one cheaper? It's a pain having a rare color!

LOL just noticed your sig - I just assumed the original pic you posted was your car. Ebay is hit or miss it seems like - paint match could also be a problem. It might be worth it to just get a primered spoiler and bring it into a reputable shop

Yea same...I'm kinda waiting/browsing classified for deals, I have one in place for blacklines already, and I can wait around until the right deal comes. Graphite is more popular though idk how much stuff you're gonna find there in AS
