Nick, what kind of tail spoiler is on your E60? What was the install like, is there a DIY? Definitely, the best looking spoiler yet!

How messy is the silicone? I'm worried about it squirting out when I put the spoiler on the car, don't want it to look like someone got overly excited looking at my ride

I'm doing this one and the roof one tomorrow.

3M tape is a rip off here! Cost me $75 freakin dollars from the only place I could find it. Couldnt find any industrial strength silicone so I got a couple bottles of Automotive Goop instead. Hope it turns out, that stuff is supposed to be really strong.

Wish me luck!

UPDATE:

18 months of the ACS Spoiler on the roof and the tail and I can tell you - it still turns heads in my dealership. I cannot imagine my car without these now - the lines are so much more sleek and so much more improved. If you're looking at doing a cosmetic mod -- I HIGHLY reccomend this. It will bring smiles to your face everytime you look at it and someone else notices it....which happens pretty darn often!

Outta this world.....
