My Estoril Blue F30 328i! (First post ever)

Hello all!
I've been following this forum for a couple years now, and I have just created my account the other day. Still figuring this out so I apologize if the format on this is iffy/not up to spec.

Also, camera is just an iphone for the moment, I don't have the fancy cameras you all have :P

Anyways! Bought a 2013 328i in EBII for my 25th birthday last year, the previous owner luckily had it fully loaded. Needed an upgrade from my dad's old 1992 318 that he bought brand new 25 years ago (now sitting at 270k miles) . Attached are some pics! I've been at work with some small mods for it, this is the list of what it has (as purchased) and what I've changed since purchase.
Any feedback on both the car and formatting style or anything I've mentioned is welcome!

I'll try to attach the pics in order of mods, no promises on the formatting though.

When purchased:
Gloss black kidney grills
Magnaflow Exhaust
Injen cold air intake
Tuning (? some kind, I know it has it but how do I figure out what has been done to it?)

Since purchase: (Exterior)
Window tint 30% (F/R)
Amber->Chrome front bulb turn signal
Painted front reflectors
Painted rear reflectors
M-Performance Brake Kit with slotted/dimpled rotors (Yellow)
Mode Carbon M4 style carbon fiber rear spoiler

Since purchase: (Interior)
Steering wheel insert wrapped in gloss carbon fiber
Dash silver trim wrapped in flat black
Center AC control trim swapped to gloss black w/flat black outline

I've been looking to add a new front splitter, kind of have my heart set on the Reiger f30 front splitter in carbon fiber, thoughts?

Congrats - gave you your first Rep point. The EBII with tints always looks good. I am planning on fitting Black Chrome tailpipes to my car - these would work for the black accents you have too!

What is a rep? Also where can you find black chrome tailpipes, or at least the ones you're looking at? I've seen some others with them on and they look quite good

You get 'Reputation ' points when someone 'Appreciates' you post. Not a major thing, just shows that the photos etc are liked!

This is where I found them. Apparently you need WD40 and a rubber mallet to remove the current then this fit back on. There are posts around this too.
