I'll leave the comment about my "rear" alone. 
Not a dealer decal.
It's a tribute to Fallen Law Enforcement Officers Memorial.
(I have a lot of respect for those guys - and maybe it'll help me out if/when I get pulled over.
)
I'm surprised nobody noticed the reflective/carbon fiber roundels.

Add the lot otherwise it'll look like you added it.
I used to have angeleyes on my old E39 with the std rears - I thought it looked odd.

I am in the process of ordering just the front and side skirts. I like the way the OEM rear skirt beautifully ties in with the up-turned curvature of the M-tech side skirts. (See EBMC03's rear, quarter-turned view.) It's subtle and they complement each other well. The M-tech rear is definitely a "sporty" look if that's what you like. I just feel that it is a more common look than the OEM rear. But you do whatever makes you NOT regret your decision! There's no wrong or right...it'll look great regardless. I just wish my dealer would hurry up and get the side skirts which are on back order...and figure out what interior door trim and switch he needs to buy to make my folding M5 mirrors fold up!

Well I decided to stay with the M-Tech but I received a funny call from the body guy today. He wants me to come by and look at the parts before painting. He stated that all the parts look good but that the rear bumper look just like the one on the car already. I Can't get there till monday but am hoping there are not any issues. He did say there were two pieces so maybe he's just looking at it wrong. Hopefully it all goes smooth.
