I am looking to do some simple mods to my 06 Interlogas Blue M5, and was wondering if anyone here could provide their opinions of the mods, and maybe send me in the right direction as to where to purchase them.
Mods
1. 20 inch Avus AF-MO2 wheels, in grey.
(http://wheelsperformancecom.stores.y...vuswheels.html)
2. New front bumper for M5
(http://www.estrictlyforeign.com/asp/...gory=1&ID=1993)
3. New Side skirts
(http://www.estrictlyforeign.com/asp/...gory=1&ID=1530)
*** The only things that I have ordered from the above are the wheels. I am waiting on your opinions before I go ahead and order the rest of the parts. Do you think that if I order the front bumper I have to order the side skirts and the rear to make it all "flow", or would I get away with just ordering the front bumper and leaving the rest of the car stock??
4. Tubi, competition exhaust
5. Looking for LED smoked tail lights, but cannot find them for my car, I can find smoke but not LED. If anyone has any suggestions as to where to get them (LED or not) I would appreciate it.
6. Blacked out Kidney grills and Side M5 grills. I have not been able to find these in black, only in CF, and I dont think it is worth it to spend so much money on such a minor detail.
I know this is long, but if anyone has any suggestions or places that i can get the stuff I am looking for I would really appreciate.
Thanks in advance

Not a big fan of that body kit you posted. Try the M-tech kit sold by forum member "Quad M". Check bekkers.com for the non-led smoked tail lights.

He's got a M5. There's no need for a M-tech aero kit.
+1 on the Hamann front, leave the rest alone.
