Looks nice Fedcaper, the car's look is in balance with those wheels!

But what is "Trunk Finisher"?
Those plastic parts on both side of your rear plate?

Thanks for this photo... now I can understand how the thing works. You (+ many others in previous threads) have said that this piece is affixed to the deck lid with tape. Is this how BMW does it for the OE M5? Sorry if I've hijacked.

no not really you brought up a nice point now I think they glue the back of the lid and install it like that.
Fedcaper please advise how the piece exactly attached by the body shop?

thank you.

Thanks for the compliments gents. Im going to post some more pics...Im still trying to figure out this camera. Regarding the trunk finisher- the body shop used 3M tape, specifically designed for vehicle body use. Also, the lisence plate screws provides extra support to keep the piece in place.
