Well here's the info I have so far on the ACS front Lip. The second comment below is what gave me some concerns about the ease of doing this....

This is an email from one guy on EBAY selling for $389-Painted and Shipped to US (Material=PU, shipped from Taiwan)
"We make this front lip by our own mold and we have sold for more than 15 piece on ebay. b4 we send this out, we will test the fitment and check the paint quality one by one. we can guarantee the fitment is perfect. no trimming, no cutting needed. you can trust because we are not doing one time business. if you are happy, you will buy more from us. bid with confidence. Any needs, plz let me know." - CarKing (seller)

This is an email from the last guy who bought the cheaper one for $190-Unpainted and Shipped to US (Material=PU, shipped from Taiwan):
"It lip looks awesome once it is fitted, filled, primed, painted and installed. There is some work to putting it in though. Some minor filling and smoothing. There is also some trimming needed to the fog light holes and your original center grill. I urethaned the lip to my bumper. Nice product. Do not expect to just paint and put on. I just did the front lip like you are considering and it looks like it was supposed to be there. It adds a much more aggresive look to the car."

Let me know what you find out if you buy one.
ok will do, let me know also if you get one done

Thanks for the feedback, because i plan on 167's for a summer setup and wouldn't mind spending a bit less michelin PS2's.

just got the wheels and tires put on 2 days ago

wheels
19 X 8.5 in the front with ET15
19 X 9.5 in the back with ET20

tires - General Exclaim UHP
front - 245/35/19
rear - 275/30/19

Superb. Great choice. Probably the best BMW styled wheels for the E60. Did you lower the car?? Fits good assuming its a nonsport.
