I want to add a front spoiler to my 530. I love the look of the ACS and I really like the RDSport. My challenge is to find the best look without having to add side skirts and rear spoiler - as you have to do with the Mtech M5 conversion. Price is always a consideration. Any suggestions?

The authentic ACS and RDSport front spoilers are pretty pricy. They can cost almost as much as getting the whole M Tech Kit. However, you can get a replica ACS front spoiler for cheap. Lookwise, I prefer the ACS to the RDSport.

That's a lot cheaper than I thought. I thought it was in the neighborhood of $900. $958 to be exact from the ACS pricing guide I got from CEC Wheels.

I love the look of the ACS front lip. I bought a replica lip - with shipping, painting, and install ran me about $450.
