+1 but the OP did say that he is not using the M5 sticker "for obvious reasons". Lots of cars have features that look good on others so I think it is ok to use them. I don't like it when a car begins to COMPLETELY begin to look like a car that it is not. Ya know...like an Accord converted to an M3!

Took a lot of guts to do this one. I am not one who would attempt it. Took some skill and it shows. Great overall job! Not many can put such a nice finished look on a DIY like this.

Maybe it was someone else, but I thought I remembered you saying one time that you ripped your bumper off your car when you backed up or pulled into a driveway and the bumper seemed lower than when you had the M5 bumper....
