Default Cf m5 fenders

Hello all, I'm debating on getting cf m5 fenders from trinity and I was just wonder if anyone has bought them and what their thoughts were on them. How's the fitment, look and quality.

I think you could be interested to know couple of things that may affect (and maybe you would like to ask Trinity about these):
- Are the fenders wider as OEM M5 fenders are, or are they only replicas of standard fenders with side grill holes?
- Is their fitment made for M5 or a standard E60? The front part of the fender, where it meets the front bumper, is a bit different in M5 due to wider fender. If they are true replicas of OEM M5 fenders, it would easier to get them sit right and nicely if you bought OEM M5 front bumper too and some brackets and ducts and stuff.

They might say the fitment is the same in both, but the front part of the fender is a bit different.

I installed OEM M5 fenders in my previous E60 530d, and I was able to get them sit almost right with the MTech bumper, but I needed to do some modifications. Later I purchased the OEM M5 bumper and other parts to get it right.
