Got them from Rgsportshop.com, but they may be out of stock. Only see yellows listed at the moment (dropdown). You can reach out to find out. Also, mpire autowerks on instagram claims to be selling/installing them as well. Also, try Aliexpress where I saw them sold.
They include a Bluetooth module and you use an App to control. Full RGB spectrum plus all kinds of gimmicky color changing effects.
Install slightly more involved than yellow DRL since you need to tap to power for Bluetooth module.
Hard to photo LEDs, but here’s a sample (much brighter in real life)

Best looking G87 I’ve seen yet. This kind of creativity is why I love this community…mods are like art! And this one is fantastic to my eyes.

Enjoy in good health OP!

Looks great Sacowich!

I think I gotta take another run down there and see that beast!

Good to know there is a good installer in the area too. Central jersey has nothing worth recommending!

Yeah, those guys are great. It’s nice having BMW enthusiasts work on your car. They know what they are doing there. Stupid charge pipe alone is buried so deep compared to the F80, they had to take apart front of the car and replace coolant. They are also a dealer for many companies so worth checking with them before bringing a part.

Shout out again to the fine team at TSD. They made my idea for G87 a reality.

1995 I was in NYC. Got pulled over by “stolen car task force”. I had a 1992 Corrado VR6. Car was Dark Forest Green. When I had the car registered the DMV abriviated GRY (Grey) Should of been GREEN. Error at DMV.

Had some undercover cops follow me down Broadway in NYC. They eventually pull me over and I was surrounded by 3 cop cars on Broadway and several officers. They were asking a bunch of questions so fast trying to trip me up I guess. My fiancé was in the car she started to cry and thought they were going to arrest me.

I keep absolutely nothing in the car and it looked showroom new. They had me get out the car and was going through the car like I was a drug dealer. Connecticut plates in NYC. I was very young back then and perhaps fit the profile or whatever. I had already graduated from college had a great job about to get married.

It was a beautiful summer day. Sunroof open music playing enjoying life.

In the end they sent me on my way. I worked with lawyers, judges and spend time in the court room for work so I was not nervous one bit. I felt smarter than all the cops there and eventually they went on their way.

Created a little scene for sure!

This was NYC back in the 1990’s lots of car theft back then a lot worse than these days.
haha great story! Loved those Corrados growing up!!!

Great build! Love seeing new colors on the G87. This one, papaya orange, dark blue, green, they all give the car a totally different look. Really interesting how this car adapts to different colors.

Couple questions other may find helpful also.

1) How many days did just the wrap take?

2) How much was the wrap & labor cost /// and how much more was that then leaving out the door jambs?

Thanks.

Now I have a reason to go to the auto show. Will it be there all week?
In everyone’s opinion, is this color close to twilight purple Indy color? The latest rumor is it may be offered on the 2025.
Cheers.
