Looks clean. Did you have to use any screws to mount the trunk finisher?
No additional screws, just the two that is already behind the plate. Also used 3m tape to keep it from vibrating with added support.

The pictures must be really blurry 'cause your trunk looks stock... I really can't see anything different about it. Maybe I'm retarded. Someone please help me see this thing.
I see it now. And I like the subtle change.
DRANGED, your bouncing booty sig made my blood flow down from my brain, that's probably why I couldn't see it...

Thanks for the comps! Not sure if the tips hang lower then normal. Never compared it to another stock, but it looks fine to me in person. I think its the angle I took it at.
Looks great. Where can I get one and how much?

the trunk finisher looks good AKAlius ! I did this mod last month and I am happy with how it turned out... one of those mods that you don't really really notice until you start comparing pics of other cars... for those that still can't see the change, here are more shots http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=56050&st=0

For those of you that are interested in getting one. TexaZ3, slickE60, I think you wanted info on this.

Call Garry Romani at BMW of Rhode Island. Ask for him and mention E60.net for 25% disc. It cost me around $155.00 shipped after disc.

Just installed it in my covered parking spot. Tell me what you think of it with stock rear. The quality of the pix is kinda blurry, it was taken with my iPhone.

Cheers!

How hard was the install? What exactly did you have to remove or do?
