I really Like the look. I kinda hated the ACS Spoiler when I saw it on there website. But with your pictures. It actually looks real good. Did you take the Hamann one into consideration?

I like the look of the Hamann rear spoiler too but in the UK BMW GB are the official importers for ACS so you can get the tuning parts fitted without worrying about affecting the warrenty.
In response to a previous post the ACS front spoiler simply fits over the existing lower valance, no need to remove or replace the fog lamps.

rabih11,
Is that a photo of your car or a stock photo from Hamann?
The extra exhaust pipes are angled but the original ones are straight. Looks kinda funny, doesn't it?

hey jonboy....
Do you know how they applied the ACS Rear Lip Spoiler? Was it glued on or just 2 sided adhesive?

i think that they just used plain ol' glue and put it in the oven over night to seal. the results are great, i'm a bit of a detail freak and i couldn't find anything wrong....unlike the front spoiler...they forgot to spray paint part of the front lip!

Jonboy,
Just wondering how you can afford the fuel, for that beast?
Cheers.

In my case I've had a V6 with 211HP before and the fuel consumption was worse!!!
