Home Depot Gutter Guard Mesh Grill (Front/Black)
Well, I know lot's of people don't like the HD Gutter Guard but I did mine and it looks great! (In my opinion) Tell me what ya think! Before and After! I have also blacked out a lot as well! In this picture my front tow hook isn't in but I painted it red and put it on their as well, also painted my calipers red to match! Will post those pictures later when it stops raining! Next up is the Joey Mod! I will probably tackle it this weekend! Only had the car two weeks and it looks completely different! lol! I love my MCS!
Before:
AFTER!!!!:
That's the Home Depot Mesh, I Plastic-Dipped everything else black and also did the Home Depot front lip!
Meshed the Hood Scoop!
Took out the Honey Comb and matched the mesh with the rest!
The rear flow-thru as well!
(I know, I need new taillights!) (Also I am going to take off the "OOPs" looking for a R53 emblem if anyone knows!)
The Gutter Guard cost me 2 bucks for a strip 3' x 1', only used about 4 of them!

The front lower bumper was simple! Only a couple of bolts and it came right out. The rear I didn't not remove, got under the car, grabbed some scissors and cut the head shield just enough so you can't see it, then I just did it all from under the car!

I am impressed.....nice work ! Is that HD stuff metal or plastic ?
Are those BMP Design tips and Supersprint you are sporting there...?

You can get an emblem here. I already ordered mine even though my car is still on the ship :-)

It really just depends where, like the lower mesh I used zip ties in certain areas and little screws in other places. With the middle and upper I made sure it hooked around the old tabs and used the stock bracket. Really just kind of go with the flow and diy!

Wow, very impressive......and cost effective!!! I did M7 all around, and ordered extra matching pieces from the factory to do the fogs and rear. Embarassed to say I much I spent......but in the end, I'm happy like you!
As mentioned before, I painted everything behind the grills flat black,in contrast to my silver grills.
GREAT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!
