The side markers look great. What material did you use? What %?

I found this from a YouTuber who did his sidemarkers. If you want it darker just double it up. The instruction manual says no need to use heat but I still did.

Installed IND Painted Center Bumper Trim (V1) and I must say, this is how BMW should have delivered from the factory.

Also added the Weathertech trunk liner - definitely better than BMW OEM.

BroDoze · 04-11-2024, 08:49 PM

Looks great! ^^

LAGWAGN · 04-11-2024, 08:57 PM

Buying a trunk liner is something I’ve NEVER considered, until now.

Oh yeah, I need that trunk liner.

One thing I miss about my F87 is the trunk net. It would prevent things from sliding all over the place.

Is there anything similar for the G87?

TT0997 · 04-12-2024, 01:18 AM

Just went to take a Quick Look after 7 months of waiting my order… delivery tomorrow !

Not visible in 4 firsts pictures : M performance Rear seat cover, Which have been installed a couple of hours after my visit.
My SA only sent me a small teaser of it (last picture).

Can’t wait !

I added the IND painted insert and put on 3/5 of the Zunsport grill inserts.

I foolishly put on the center one first before doing the inner center inserts and I can’t get those in. I saw BMW DIY Guys video on YouTube showing that you should do the center pierce last.

If anyone has any suggestions to getting those in, I’d love to hear them.

Lauren8 · 04-12-2024, 05:14 PM

Finally got around to PPF the car.

Amazing how that one little change to the bumper color makes a WORLD of different. That really looks good!

Appreciate it! I was a little worried when I put it on that it lost some of the aggression, but I like it.

How long was the wait from IND on the bumper insert?

You have to pre-bend the tabs. I had them in for a while, but they don't fit the shape of the opening perfectly, so I took them out.

The cf headrest pieces look nice. I added the same pieces from Aliexpress for a fraction of the price - just don't have the MPerformance logo.

Mr.McNutty · 04-13-2024, 04:04 PM

For those with bucket seats, has anyone done anything to protect them? Specifically the outside bolster and seatbelt area?

I know IND makes a bolster protector, but $300 seems a bit steep. At one point I saw a set on ebay that includes 1 bolster cover and 1 seatbelt (shoulder area) cover, but can't seem to find it now.

2600 miles in, I've already noticed some very slight wear in both places.

Exactly 1 month - 11 MAR to 11 APR.

Thanks for the input. I just ordered something similar for the seatbelt area.

Do you just have the default seat position set all the way back then when you get in you hit the other preset to move the seat back into position?

I get into the car pretty gingerly, but I'm also worried about rubbing my leg on the wheel while I'm avoiding the bolster.
