Passenger side completed. This is as far REARWARDS as the side markers could be installed and cover the badge holes. Aft edge of light is ~2-1/2 inch from the door. These lights are opposite of the typical BMW installation which has the bump pointing downward, and the light is usually lower and closer to the wheel well.

    Is your wheels powder coated?

    Yes, a three step process; base/metal flake, transparent color, clear topcoat. FWIW, it is very difficult to match the metal flake size and color to the OEM paint. My flakes are just a bit large, and the overall effect just a little light. I'm very happy with it, but if I had to do it over, I'd go somewhat darker.
