Anyone tried. ....?
Any suggestions for DIY job..

The "3rd eye" is for PDC and CC.

Np ..I agree its unsightly but if I'm tracking the car in front at 80MPH and relying on my car to decide when to brake....then the Radar can be the size of a dinner plate for all I care

I think due to the fact that you have the ACC you should somewhat hide it with the black mesh. BTW how did you get the black mesh? I am looking to paint mine asap or get some new stuff in black? Very sexy on the black e92!

+1 If you didn't have the ACC, I'd say go for it, but you might want to keep that huge eye thing hidden.
