Hey fellas and gals. I got my car back on Tuesday. Decided to post today since I'm back home.

Well he did a great job! He installed my roof spoiler and the trunk lid spoiler. What do y'all think.

yes...I know it needs some nice looking wheels/rims. I'm still deciding what to choose. I do like the m5 ones. They look great. I'm very picky and it's hard debating between 19" and 20". I don't like a bumpy ride.

Very nice!

19's with a low pro tire are bumpy enough. I'd stay away from the 20's if that's the case!

Unhappy

This is the future mods:

- smoked tails not too dark of a tint
- paint the chrome trim black
- get wheels 19's or 20's
- drop it an 1"
- lip body kit (maybe)

Your call looks sweet. Did you drop your car after you installed those nice rims.

Are those spoilers reps or authentic? I'm thinking about getting the ACS roof spoiler myself!

..as for painting your chrome trim, you can get replacement pieces from BMW for about $250. I'd reccommend it before painting them!

LoL authentic would cost around $1500 for the two pieces.. Reps about $350. Either way they look the same! and look awesome!
