Thanks to E46m3LOL for hooking it up once again, this time with a Aceltion CF lip and the fitment was on point just had to drill the holes on the tabs threw some bolts and nuts 6 total and in the middle since theres not much room for nuts and bolts just did 6 tiny tap in screws in the middle evenly spaced a little over kill but it will take a lot for it to come off... And it turned out SICK!!!

Glad you like it, I guess that is all that should matter.

Personally, I don't get the point in the middle; doesn't match ANY body lines of the car. To me it'd be better to keep the center rounded. PERFECTO!

IMO it would look 10x cleaner to only blackhouse some portions of the housing.. I've seen the entire thing done (reflector buckets and turn signal buckets) and not only does it hurt output, it makes the headlight itself look very cheap.

Well its a not a big deal even full black out except highbeam because the IS uses projectors. The reflectors don't do anything for the projectors. I got mine blacked out and fitted the highbeam with bixenon projectors so I could go full blackout.

Looks alright, but it would match more with black housing headlights though.
