I let my BMWCCA membership lapse about a year ago so if I don't wait until after March 12, to pick it up, I lose $1000 rebate. Oh well. I already made an appointment to have my V1 hot wired, my dustless brake pads installed and my ACS spoiler installed next Friday. Hopefully the week will pass quickly.

I am in Livingston and will pick up my COP 545 tomorrow. Can you share where you purchased the ACS trunk spoiler purchased and the price including paint and installation? A real ACS spoiler? I am also thinking to get the dustless brake pads installed.

Thank you.

I saw that seller's item and interested to purchase the whole ACS kit plus the spoilers. But wondering if I might get charge duty from US Customs? Are you going to install the spoiler yourself? I will hardwire the V1 tomorrow after I pick up the car.

Thank you.

Make sure it's MORE than a year of membership when you get the car. You have to have been a member for at least one year prior to delivery.

Ha, I don't do my own laundry or cook my own meals. I sure as hell am not going to install that or anything else on my car myself.

Have you dealt with this Ebay vendor before? Are you having the ACS spoiler pre-painted by Carking - tuning? Let me know as I have considered buying from this exact guy before, I just didn't know the quality of the parts or painting.

Yes they painted it. Finish and fit are perfect.

k Wang, we're neighbor. I'm in Livingston too. Let me know if you need help with the V1 install, I just did it 2 months ago. Enjoy the 545 tomorrow.
