I am all about the small details. IND apparently is as well. First, no one on the planet wraps products like they do...almost to it being comical. These were wrapped to withstand Godzilla and a nuetron bomb. As I was unraveling the bubble wrap I started laughing as it just kept going and going.They were just getting started.

They wrap BMW factory boxes as well.

I got the front and rear BMW roundels painted gloss black and the floating center caps also in gloss black. They did a write up on the process in their Blog, I believe every word they wrote as these were perfect. It's subtle, only someone who knows will know...I know.

I went ahead and put a ceramic coat on everything and another coat on my wheels. I also painted my wheel weights, BMW...VOLVO provides black wheel weights..fail.

I got the door sills. Everything was easy to install outside of removing the wheels which is easy just time consuming as I ultimately clean everything. The roundels come off in seconds, on a new car nothing broke and slid off perfectly. I am very pleased.

Tomorrow the CF "breather" vents arrive ( have to lol at something that is a solid piece of material being called anything other than garnishment but thats ok.

Then I can decide on mirror caps.

BTW I hate cleaning these wheels!

It was one of my favorite interior mods and I knew I wouldn't run across another one. I was sad to see it go when I sold my coupe.

Thank you all for the kind words. Obviously we are not perfect, no one can be, but we truly strive to be the absolute best we can. Order volume and supply chain stress continue to be a significant challenge halfway through 2021.

As mentioned above, we have a blog post dedicated to our roundel process to give a little insight into the extreme paint and QC process these go through. We are trying very hard to open orders back up as soon as possible.

Note... do be aware where you park your car... I had them on my old M3, they were gone the 2nd day I parked on the street and mall at night, after 3 sets, I gave up! Also, since they are metal so it may need more than just fingers to twist them off if you haven't touched them in a long while. I do plan to get them again, hope I will have better luck and neighborhood this time around.

Something like this??

If so, yes, that will look very good indeed.

My Dravit G80 is gone in for Front end PPF, Rocker panels, Mirrors, rear trunk loading area. Ceramic coating all around including wheels. 50% ceramic Tints, 70% on windshield and spacers, 15mm up front, 10mm rear.

To say I'm excited to see the car on Saturday would be an understatement

I don't know if they've changed them, but I added those about 7 years ago for my 2013 335xi and they literally molded to the stem due to the metals not being the same. Don't remember the scientific explanation for it but only use the bland rubber ones ever since.

They look killer don't get me wrong, just warn others whenever I see them do it.

That is good info, thank you, I will keep an eye on them going forward. Molded caps sounds like a real pain in the butt.

I got my order in for the hood, trunk and wheel roundels just in time! Can't wait to get them.

Price sucked but my friend got me a decent discount. Easy to install. In fact everything so far has been easy to install, roundels, door sills etc.

I had them on my G05 X5 for 2.5 hears without any issues and they're on my M2 now. I think the new ones are fine

The way the car is designed makes it hard to get a flush fitment up front. I have 275 PS4S on and it is close to rubbing the fender liner/brake vent

As someone new to doing modifications on expensive shit, do you guys just take it to your best rated or known local auto shop or a specific auto place? Maybe the dealer.

Specifically asking about springs and stuff like that.

I had the m stem caps on my f80 for a couple years and no problems. They are on my M4 now. Granted I live in the Midwest, so it doesn't ever sit in triple digits all day at work.

Edit: also I reckon that BMW would sort you out if you bought stem caps from your dealer and they melted

Dealer will charge the most. I have a friend who is a BMW tech and he helped me to install them. It all depends where you live I guess, if you are in So Cal, Supreme Power does good work and install springs for a good rate from what I see.
