I think next on the agenda is fix the cracked 3rd brake light. I bought a smoked vinyl overlay for it, so I gotta see if that's gonna look cool or ricer, but it was $20 so I'm not worried either way. Hoping it'll match the smoked sides and eventually blackline LCI.
Also my friend who sold me his headlights also has a "CF" spoiler I stuck on my truck just to see how it would look, and I think I'm gonna get one. Spices up the rear nicely, but it needs a diffuser to compliment it!

Good work! Modding a BMW on a budget is possible if you're willing to be patient and not always buy new haha. For the spoiler and diffuser, don't be afraid of eBay. I got both of mine on eBay and the quality is way better than I expected. Also decided not to do a CF diffuser and instead got a gel coated poly one and am very happy I did. Sanded/painted it with some high temp gloss black paint and clear coat. Someone tapped my bumper recently and it just flexed, zero damage. A CF one would have either exploded or at least cracked.
edie: for reference the spoiler was about $120 and the diffuser was about $170 both shipped from china and took a couple weeks to arrive.
