Hello,
Can someone do a side by side comparison of a trinity mtec kit next to stock 535? I am looking for front, side and rear.
Also, i have a dark gray car...when I install trinity kit, should i paint the diffuser 2 colors or 1 and are there any examples that can be collected on this thread?
Thanks for the help, I am taking my car to the body shop Sunday night and I want to give him a clear idea of what I want to do.
Additional bonus question...Is there a DIY for removing calipers in front and rear for painting? I saw the painting thread, but I am looking for a more step by step remove the caliper to paint thread that explains what to and to not paint/tape etc.
Im almost there

Patience buddy! I need time to go through every thread! LOL.

I dont have any pix but some members will definitely shed some light. This is member Howitzer's car: https://5series.net/forums/topic/100...-lots-of-pics/
Now just picture a stock LCI 535i

I would color match it. IMO, I dont like different color splitters or diffusers

Just get the duplicolor brush-on caliper paint. U can get it at autozone or similar. No need to remove calipers. Just clean it with the can of spray cleaner that comes with the package, use a brush to brush it, let dry, and brush the paint on. I did it in the rain!!!! Do it one wheel at a time then put the wheels back on and dont drive until the next day. I drove after 5 hours though and it's still great!
