Suggestions on appearance upgrades

Just looking for some opinions on additional appearance mods. Not really looking for anything performance wise considering I use it as a daily driver/family car for mileage.

The windows were previously tinted, but the 5% VLT was extremely hard to see out of at night, so I removed it. I painted the front kidney grills and trim matte black today, so additional suggestions would be great.

All suggestions and comments are welcome. Just a simple E90 with new; rimes/tires, tinted side markers, and a few k in stereo upgrades.

Thank you! Does that tint protect the interior from damage as well?

Yes. And don't let "electronic interference" naysayers bother you. It won't cause any problems. If you feel you must have ceramic tint FormulaOne Pinnacle Series www.formulaone.com is made by the same manufacturer. I've been using Llumar for more years than I care to admit and I've never been disappointed and I am a very picky customer.

Great... I have checked around my area, and no one uses it on installs. I guess I can purchase some online and have them use the Llumar ATR instead of their cheap walmart stuff.
