Bimmian Gripe / $200 Spending advice / Fog DRLS

So i bought an angel eyes upgrade on bimmian by accident. i did not realize i have halogen lights in my 07 e90. these are products that have never been removed from the box, and were purchased less than 30 days ago. Despite this, bimmian wants to charge a $30 restocking fee!

I wanted to put the $$ towards some OSS headlights but may have to settle for store credit to avoid the extra charge.

Anybody know what the best idea of what to spend the $200 in store credit i have?

I was thinking these to enhance the front until i can get new headlights with Angel eyes. too merc/audi? I would probably plastidip matte black over the chrome finish fyi.

Other thoughts? maybe an illuminated shift knob?

Already have:
Interior LED upgrade
CF splitters on front bumper
Emblem overlays
19" CSL Wheels (hyper black)
Piano Black Kidney Grille
Debadged

Considering:
LED DRLs
Sunglasses holder for ceiling handle
Illuminated shift knob
CF covers for side mirrors
Anything you guys suggest.
Error-Free LED plate lights (can find similar for $25 on ebay)

Definitely want eventually:
P90 Headlights w/ Orion V4 or V2mc Angel eyes & FX-R HIDs
Seat Covers for back seats (have a dog)
Doggie-barrier so the dog wont crawl into the front through the center console area.
Rubber Floor Mats

So, help me blow $200!

Judging from the selection of the store and $200 store credit, I'd get the CF side mirrors. Hopefully they don't have fitment issues like I had with their LED side lenses.

Bimmian has bad customer service. I purchased an item from them. After getting the item it definitely did not meet my expectations so I immediately emailed them and never got any response. I won't ever buy from them again. Anyway, since you are planning on getting store credit I would definitely consider the LED license plate bulbs and rubber floor mats.

As far as the lighted shift knob goes, I almost pulled the trigger on one before but after looking at it some more it almost looks out of place with the boot and the shift surround frame..makes the car look busier and the shifter sits kind of high up (at least in the E92). The car looks cleaner with the stock shift knob imo. Let us know what you end up with!

ive had good luck with their painted bits. i've only ordered from them for painted reflectors and spoilers and its been top notch.
