Yeah, same goes for Side mirrors... I really don't see why soo much labor would be involved....

Lol could install both in about 1 -2 hours right? Well maybe 3 if u have to solder the wires for mirrors?

I installed the front m3 bumper & sideskirts. It was pretty easy and I would recommend you do it yourself and save yourself a ton of money.

i just installed a rieger front bumper, trickier than i expected. but then again I realized that I am not a very competent DIYer

[komodo]

I did m3 mirrors myself knowing NOTHING in about an hour and a half.

actually the stealership didn't quote me too bad on paint... I went to a body shop on my way home from work yesterday and saw this gorgeous brand new 750i (Had to check it out) thy had done lambo door on it and put some nice wheels and stuff (for some place called 704 motoring...)

But anyways I asked them to give me a quote on just painting an M3 bumper
It came out to $229.00 (that's with them painting the bottom lip black, am sure you guys know what I mean...)

But I can get a better deal that that, the guy who was going to work on my Mustang (before he declared it totaled) has one of the best if not the best body shop in town, I haven't had the chance to talk to him yet bcs I have been very busy (plus his body shop is so backed up you got to make an appointment for an estimate)... but I am pretty darn sure he will give me a good deal. And I mean whoever gives me a good deal will get some business from me (Mirrors, spoiler, (going to repaint hood eventually))....

why not paint it yourself for around $62.00?
see www.paintscratch.com

they sell OEM BMW paint kits for like under $100 (comes out to about 62$ per panel)

Also if money is your thing get M3 mirrors on ebay....
lol!


everybody else does....

When I had my m3 front bumper painted I left the bottom lip the plastic black it came with. Now I'm probaly going to go back and get it painted along with the velocity splitters to match the rest of the car.
