As the title says, installed the hartge splitter, afe intake and hoen fogs today. No complaints thus far with the intake, looks great (thanks Joe) 
The Hoens are a much better replacement for the stock yellow shade bulbs, very happy with the look!
The splitter is a little more complicated! It's exactly what I expected it to be looks wise, but the paint job isn't really up to par. It looks A LOT brighter then the rest of my car, which I knew would probably be the case as I've seen a few alpiners on here that had the same problem with splitters/bumpers. I'm not sure how I can get the paint to match better?!?!? Any suggestions? I'm also debating if I made the right choice in splitter, the Hartge looks AMAZING on black and silver E60's especially, but not sure I like it as much on alpine! I'm starting to think I should have gone with Hamann.
Then again maybe once I deal with this slight paint issue my thoughts will change. My gf did say it looks a lot better then she expected! 
lol

As for the Hamann, did I already say, "I told you so". LOL! Just kidding Rocky. Your car probably looks sick. I say probably because you need to post some PICTURES!!!!
