Anyone have pix of actual install of the M5 Aero Kit on their vehicle? I know a number of us out there have done it and the kits' easily available from Quad_M [plug for Tony], but for most of us newbies, the task is daunting insofar as taking off the bumpers and installing new body parts is concerned. 
Any DIYers have their install out there??? Post pix - I am sure will increase orders by a factor of ten!

welcome. well, other than looking at an M5, (member eurocarfan has a nice one), off the top of my head you could look out for the e60s of members imsortofabigdeal, my530i, and e60beemer. you could also check out tony's (member quad_m) thread about the full M5 kit for more pictures. i know a number of members have just gone with the mtech front or any front with the M5 rear for quads. good luck. enjoy the forums.

From my experience you need at least 1 other person to help you. It took about 4-5 hours. Sideskirts, rear and front took 9 hours for me with someone else. (That's from somebody who doesnt work on cars alot) After doing it once, I could do another in about 4. (But when am I ever gonna need to do this again....)
Sooo many questions, so little time....

Did you have to jack the car up or were you able to do the work with the car on the ground? Were there any potential pitfalls? Is the other person needed only at certain steps or pretty much throughout the install [will have to really talk the wife into this one!]... I am looking only at doing the front and not the side or rear as of now. Any recc's on vendors? Did you buy yours pre-painted? Were the instructions easy enough to follow??

Thanks very much. The side skirt and the rear are very helpful
- now if I can only find one DIY with pictures for the front. I only want to change the front end and maybe side skirts later. I do not like the rear of the M Aero Kit very much so don't wish to change that. Thanks for the images. If you can find a front one of the same quality, holla' back!
