Yep, comes with 3M tape. That's all I used to secure mine and it hasn't been an issue. Well worth the money! I think I paid $160 for mine plus $80 for paint.

Just some more mods I've done in the last couple weeks.. Black/white roundels. M5 trunk spoiler. 15mm spacers in rear. Stilll haven't had a chance to redo my tailights yet. Going to remove paint, then just paint bottom 2/3. Maybe in a lighter tint also. Also going to remove paint from the smoked headlights. There aren't too many shops in Sacramento that do modding, and some a**hole I brought it to was going to charge me $450 to remove the paint from the lights. Probably have my buddy, who details cars, take care of that for me. I'm too scared lol. Enjoy fellas.

Was thinking about going all the way. But some members showed me some pics of guys having that "contrast" look. Which is why I'll be taking off the top third of the tailight paint. I'll be getting some black rims with the polished lip sometime in the near future.. That'll complete the look.

Exactly, I was gonna say the same thing. Funny that this has been stated many times before but some of the usual posters told him to get one.

OP you car looks badass as is brother. I want that look someday on mine, too many other things to spend money on lately though. I would probably take the tint off the rear turn signal, black out the 550i on the rear, and add black and white - or maybe the CF roundels and be done for now. Either way, like I said, it looks badass as is. Good job!
