My Ride: 545i - GONE
Hey Sachal,
I bought the matte black grille kit from JLeviSW. Unfortunately, the kidney grille tabs broke, so I ended up spraying my factory kidney grilles (chrome ones) with primer, then sprayed over with high-temp semi-gloss black paint. That wasn't enough for me, so I used the matte black outer grille from the JLevi kit and got those painted along with my spoilers. Simply took the semi-gloss kidney grilles and placed them in the new ones...I personally like the color-matched grille over the factory chrome trim.

that ACS spoiler was a f*cking b*tch to install. I ordered it off Ebay from a vendor that claimed he ships from Diamond Bar/Beverly Hills, but he/she didn't! The posting says, "perfect fitment" but that's total b/s. I got a freaking spoiler shipped to me from Taiwan, fit fine on the right side but left a HUGE gap on the left side. I opened a claim against him/her and nothing was resolved, so I went ahead and got the thing painted because I didn't want to deal with the whole return process. Do yourself a favor and make sure it's a reputable seller of ACS reps. I'm pretty disappointed to this day, I've had to use all-purpose caulk to fill in the gaps that now stretch all along the top side where it rests onto the trunk. You'd have to see it to see how much of a crappy fit this spoiler was. The Ebay seller is "Altimotors" -- AVOID AT ALL COST.

The guy i bought it off was also based in Taiwan and is called Brian from JB Speed or something like that.
Was so damn annoyed!

I'll post more pictures when I wake up from my nap. Hope this helps those who were looking for a picture of the RD Sport with ACS spoiler combination.
