My Ride: 2004 BMW 520i E60 in Amethyst Gray
Default

I think TopMix been around for many years. The CSL style tail looks kind of wierd for a 4 door E60, the hood looks less aggressive than mine, in total not my cup of tea. Thanks anyway.

Pinguhk found a place in San Po Kong where they can do the plate for the right side exhaust at an affordable price. I am going to call them up on Monday and give it a try. Bill, do you want to try them, or you want to pay $2K and go with AK47 ?

Yeah, I think the outlook is more important than performance for my car. Anyone wants the AK47 Scoop, please sign up :

Lets make 10 cos i think everyone should do this mod

I feel the car is alot "Lighter" after the flipping vents removed, so no matter you install the "Fish Tin" or not, you guys should remove the flipping thingy, cos that blocks the fresh air going into the air box (especially at low speed), and they are not good in summer.

Guys, just installed the RPI scoop and tower bar at AK place last night, the installation wasn't as easy as i thought but well.....nothing will be difficult in AK47 hands!!!

With the flipping vents removed (In order to install the scoop), the car feels more power as more fresh air can be sucked into the air box.
And believe it or not, with the tower bar installed, the car feels softer (more comfort) while crusing back home last night, strange!
I like it I think I will get 1 made and install it even if it dose not work, it looks good in red but I will paint my in dark red

Tailer made in Hong Kong, 100% fit and no vibrate after installed on Thu night.
There should have two way,
1> Change longer screws
2> Add 5 more holes on that spacers then use 10 screws per wheel.

AK told me depend on your existing wheel structure to choice why way is better. Mine one is option 2.
will get 1 next year

OK I will ask the guy to see how much to make 10 of these.

I will remove flipping vents also when I install the Fish Tin
