Yeah not sure what happend in shipping, but I thought it was gonna snap in half. It took me about 20 minutes to unpack the thing.
Here are some pics I just took.
And yes it is possible to take a darker fuzzier picture with iPhone.

Yup the lower pushed forward due to a high parking spot, I scrapped.
I know what look ur trying to go for but it seems alittle off to me. This looks to JDM for a bmw IMHO. Like when i had a RSX this was common for lips. Carbon fiber or jet black for the skirts and lips and it looked good. But it was on a Japanese car.
I dunno on a high class German car it just looks alittle out of place without being painted to match.
just my .02 not tryin to bash on your idea or anything

Now you need some matte black grills, black roof and maybe a CF trunk lip spoiler and probably some black rims.
and probably some black rims.
+1 Matte black grills and black wheels would be a good start. It'll help tie-in the black white look together. Otherwise, paint it to body-match the car

To be honest, I probably wont have it on very long, I plan to have m-tech kit down the road. I just bought this to hold me in the meantime., this does give it a aggressive look, I have a huge aversion for it looking "rice". While some japanese cars may have kits like this I don't feel mine is "rice".
