Any luck in finding out how to remove the stock side gills?

No nothing yet.

Picture of the back side will say a lot on how they come off.

Did anyone install these yet? I still haven't seen a paint matched LBB yet, but I should have mine installed by the end of this week(end).

MTHRAR · 04-22-2016, 08:00 PM

Picked up my car from getting Xpel and Tint and then added my two tone gills from iND. I am really pleased with these and are extremely easy to put on. Since my car was in for Xpel, my installer left the gills and grilles off of the car. Here are some pictures, but I took these in my garage at night, so lighting is not the best. At least this gives an idea of what they look like though. Everybody at the Xpel shop liked it much better than the black backplate with chrome that comes on the car.

This one is with the flash - def not the best lighting and picture

The gills were already taken out for me, as I was picking up my car from getting the Xpel & tint installed and they had them off for that, but you really just remove the adhesive protectors and snap them on. I'm not sure how hard they are to take out, but I don't believe they are difficult. Everything just snapped in place, it was so easy. Grilles were easy too, but again, I didn't remove them because of the Xpel install.

Prodigy. · 04-23-2016, 04:07 AM

Wow, those colour coded gills look amazing, I'm still undecided on which way to go with mine.
Could you post some more side on pics in the daylight when you get chance please.

Here you go guys...These look awesome!! I am really pleased with these as I had apprehension before ordering. It makes the car flow better and removes that matte black look on the LBB. I'm not a great photographer, but hopefully these help..

Edit: One thing that I neglected to mention is that my whole front (including front fenders where this piece is located) is wrapped in Xpel Ultimate, so the lighting may change the appearance in photographs. The color matching is pretty spot on as you can see, but lighting may affect what you see based upon the reasons I gave.

Obligatory GrilleShot!

I actually think the BSM would look killer regardless of the colour of car. Gets rid of the black plastic.

Yea, I agree. I went with the color matched to "take a chance" if you will. I thought the black backplate takes away from the lines on the car a bit as your eyes tend to gravitate towards that backplate. I really like the look of color matched, but I bet you BSM would look good as well.

Special thanks to Ryan @ IND.

You put them on yet? On LBB by chance? Hoping to see those on the car - similar to the awesome color matched photos above.

I think those are iND because it's gloss on gloss. I believe the M Perf just have the Black Gloss M2 Gill with the "Matte" backplate.

In about two weeks time I will do it

No time right now... Too busy with work. I will show pics of the final looks.

They are by IND, and painted fully in gloss black. Fits way better with the window surrounds and side mirror arms.
