Tail lights & front grille installed

[Tampa330i]

My hands are all scratched up from the tail lights, and my fingers are all like I've been playing guitar from trying to get the front grille apart without breaking it. Well worth it, check it out:

That looks very clean, JB. Good fit. Where did you buy this stuff? What brand?

Also, on the grilles, see if you can adjust them a bit. The right one (ride side of car) seems slightly high and the left one seems slightly low. See if you can manipulate it a bit. Perhaps it's the picture, though.

Looks great.

They weren't quite locked in all the way in the 3rd picture, the 4th picture is after they were adjusted. The grille is from ecs, the tail lights are from kayger12. The tails say 'DEPO' on them. Now I just need to go wash it, I didn't notice how dirty it was until I saw all the fingerprints on the trunk where I was working.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Lookin' good, JB. Time to wash the car! Have fun.

[kayger12]

Looking good, man. Glad they found a good home.

Are those the $34 kidney grills from Khoalty? I've been thinking of picking up a pair of them.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

I bought both of my grilles -- for the 335 and the 330 -- from Khoa. Cheaper than everybody else. No complaints here.

I want to try black grills out on my AW coupe - but i am scared to damage the OEM ones, which I want to have also... :(

[Marcus-SanDiego]

If it makes you feel better, neither of my oem grills were damaged. Ymmv.

It's super easy to change the grilles. Marcus had posted a video yesterday that showed how to do it. Shouldn't take longer than 5 minutes to swap grilles.

Nice looking upgrades!! Black car with Black grilles FTW! And the taillights are sexy. If my LEDs ever start giving me problems I will be sporting ones just like that. Looks sharp!

[Washburn]

Thanks Mimalmo
does one have to have that blue trim tool? wonder if a butter knife wrapped in cloth would work...

[Mtnman]

The key to installing the new ones is DO NOT TAKE THEM APART! They dont come with instructions, but all u have to do is push them in. Taking out the old ones is a little harder, and i will not try to offer advise... But i think my old ones are ok....

[Nomar06]

Looks good. Any plans for the lower middle section?

[adb1028]

Looks great, I ordered my stuff from Khoalty too. The grilles were great except for the driver's side grill is a little warped and pokes out on the bottom. Can't really notice it unless you know its there.

Can't wait to get my clears on!

I've gotta paint it. First I have to get it out of there... I've been putting it off because I think it's going to be a real pain to remove and reinstall. Deff needs to be painted though, it looks like crap.

I just got my clears in the mail from khoa today. Now I'm waiting for stealth bulbs so I can put them in. Apparently amber bulbs of these type are not easy to find at your local auto parts stores.

They are from ecs. I think they were like $37, but I bought them before I saw khoa's site or I would have gotten them from him.
