Just a little hint when ordering ACS OEM or Replicas is to note they come in 2 styles . There is the E60 style/version which fits up to , but not over the rubber gaskets on the top and sides of the rear window, and the M5 version/style which fits over these gaskets and covers them completely. The resellers never state which ones they sell you , need to be very persistant to get measurements and real pics of the "actual" one they are selling . Many resellers "borrow " pics from other sources .....FYI
Both look very good ,but they do look different ,
Cheers

Nah..not your age. I'm 37! Just a matter of taste.
I agree, I'm 41 and considering installing it. I guess it's like the old saying "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder". I know ultimately it will be what I like, but I have to admit that I am definitely influenced by what the majority on this forum like and don't like.

Depends. In your case, since you've opted for the sporty aggressive look with the Mtech, then the roof/trunk spoilers will just take that look to the next level. I say yes.

Agree...depends on how you want the look of the car to be.

Changes the lines and entire look of the car in a very different way to a tail spoiler.

Definitely HOT!

Definitely NOT. But I supposed almost anything could look good if tastefully done.
