I got the side skirts too but decided i dont like them , and the wife hated them, but we added the rear lip to the window and trunk spoiler and did a little vinyl work on the lip , reflectors and tails. I like it alot definitely pulls the rear styling style closer to the front now.

it is often said that the best excercise of good taste can be shown via restraint. however, if you like it, i love it! that is certainly a very interesting hood. where did you get it? also, im doing a gloss black vinyl roof wrap this weekend, how is your matte black holding up so far?

Mine isnt matte its 3M carbon vinyl same as my kidneys.. and i have about 6000 miles on the car with it so far and its doing amazing. The hood is VIS GTR carbon fiber and the bumper is rieger , the rear is all AC/s

And yea.. its def not the most restrained car on here.. but i lover her!! Eventually im going to put rims back on it , but im happier with my stocks in satin than i was with the last set of 20s we tried.

Wrapping up my vinyl roof install today. I went with high gloss black. Wish me luck!

And side note...everyone's opinion is different, so if u love the way ur car looks w/ that body kit then screw it, ENJOY IT! I have tons of friends who shake their head at me for putting on my mtech side skirts or my M5Tech bumper or my 20s or my orions, etc...bit when they see my car parked next to a regular E60 they shut their mouths and bask in it's glory!

thanks, ill admit.. im trying to move 3000 miles from home right now and money is all going to the move so when i had the opportunity to put on a painted to match and AC/s rear addon , mounted and done with the vinyl inserts for about $130 i barely even looked at it before i screamed YES!! DO IT!! lol.. it might be swapped out to something else when i get over to the left coast.. but for now i like it better than stock.. and the price was right.
