Use the search. I'm pretty sure they've been pics here of every color.

Ordered mine 11/3/05, they finally came today (Pacific BMW - $194 + shipping). Put them in at half-time of the UT/SC game. My question: Why are they not standard? BIG upgrade, if you ask me, and a very simple DIY. I took some pics, but the lighting was horrible, and with the flash reflection, the pics aren't worth posting. If I get home at a decent hour tomorrow, I'll put some pics up. These lights look especially good with Sparkling Graphite, methinks!

poldim · 01-04-2006, 11:50 PM

I think they are growing on me...

Need to find a few hundred....

On the off chance that I get home at a decent hour today, I will take some pics. It has to be one of the most outstanding modifications available for this car, at least in my opinion. Very easy to do, btw. I don't understand why they aren't standard.

Now I have to decide whether or not to add the decklid spoiler.

I say do it, I made a step-by-step photo DIY if you decide to do it yourself.

Do you have lots of pics available?

BigPapiDoesItAgain · 01-06-2006, 10:15 AM

let me qualify by saying that these are not good photos. They were shot in a hurry early this morning before there was good light. Couple that with the fact that I am not a very proficieint photographer, and there you have it. Oh, please excuse the mess in the garage, we are in the second month of a remodeling job of the house that is seemingly never going to end. My wife would absolutely want to hang me if she knew pics of our junky garage were going out into cyberspace.

I paid $194 + shipping which ran the total to $212.35. I ordered 11/3/05, and was initially told I would have them in about 7-10 business days. I never heard from Pacific BMW until I got a ship notice via email from UPS that they were scheduled to arrive 1/3/06.

Thanks for the photos. Funny how the SG looks so different depending on the light. In the bottom picture it really looks like the Blacklines blend well with the rest of the car. Hmm...thinking seriously about this mod now...
