Nice combo of the 167s with the M5 pieces. To me, the 167s are much more attractive than the 166s.

But get prepared to hear a barrage of posts urging you to lose any M5 badging.

Looks great! But, is there a color match issue with the front bumper?

you arent serious, are you?

maybe its just me but i think his car is at a perfect height. i think when a 4 door sedan is slammed to the ground it looks stupid. i understand a drop but not dropping it to the ground.

My dealer estimates that there are very few modified bumpers that are a true color match to the car. 1-Paint is applied at a different location for metal car and plastic bumper; 2- Different materials take paint differently - here metal vs plastic; 3- Factory paint (on the metal car) comes out of a system that may give it a slightly different look than the paint that comes out of the dealer's gun 8,000 miles away.

Illustrative was the mismatch I endured when I had my dealer spray my front (M-Tech aftermarket) fender reflectors "Alpine White" to match the factory Alpine White car. Once painted and installed in the bumper, the reflectors were too dark. But once removed and set on the hood, they perfectly matched the AW on the factory painted metal hood.
