My Ride: 2007 BMW M5 (6speed) - Lots of mods

Hi Guys,
I am looking for the best replica ACS Spoilers (Trunk and Roof). I purchased one from Jlevi a few months back and fit was pretty off... I don't usually mind paying for authentic (Hell I have AC Schnitzer Type V Wheels), but on such basic pieces its kinda a waste if you guys can reccomend some good stuff!!
Thanks!
Evan

Evan - I got my ACS roof spoiler on eBay. I had my local body shop paint and mount it. They had to heat up the spoiler to get it to conform properly, but it looks and sits perfectly. If you didn't know any better, you would think it's authentic. Keep in mind that it's held on to the rear glass by a bonding material and not double-sided tape, which some folks on this forum have used.

I believe I paid around $60 for the spoiler, not including shipping.

do you still remember who did you order it from on Ebay? Are you implying that you like the quality of it? Also, how does the paint job compare with the BMW original? Is there any shade difference or texture difference under bright sunlight? Thanks.

I don't, but they are all pretty much the same. The quality is good, but it didn't sit perfectly flush with the roof curvature. The body shop heated up the plastic and molded it to the glass. It now sits perfect.

As for the paint job, I go to a place that's fantastic. It's where all the M5 owners in my town go. It's called Perfect Ten in West Bablyon (Long Island). Owners name is Matt. His pricing is fair and he's a total perfectionist.

That said, the paint job was flawless. It looks factory, even up close!
