congrats on the car,,,, love the other one too. another option for shadowline is buying the oem parts ( $200-225 ) and replacing them yourself as opposed to masking with vinyl. I just did it and it took about 2-2.5 hours and wasn't bad at all. have fun with the new to you ride!

Def get rid of that damn spoiler...replace it w/ the smaller/thinner M5 spoiler instead. That way it will look 10x better AND cover up those holes. Beyond that...I'd replace those wheels ASAP...

Done, the spoiler will be gone. I was leaning towards that from the get go.

Agree on the rims as well. I will buy OEM M5 rims and go from there, have to find a set in Toronto. I do love the M6 rims though, they look hot.

We'll see, pics to follow soon.
