I can't believe how much different the car looks now - like falling in love all over again

The last pic has something white behind the grill at the very bottom - looks like some kind of tube or bar - anyone know what this is for? Can it be painted black?

I know everyone and their mother have the Mtech kit and now I know why Some pics below...

Hey Corey,

I just had my OEM BMW M-tech installed last Thursday. Personally, the transformation came out most favorable! I love it!!! :-)

Just curious about the trunk lid spoiler, what made you decide not to get the Vorsteiner Trunk Lid Spoiler and ended up with what you have now? The guy at the shop put on the spoiler for me to see, but I did not look carefully to see whether it sticks out like a whale's tale from a "side angle". :-)

I want the truck lid spoiler to match the M-tech kit and also make the car look compact, sporty and muscular. All and all , I don't want it to stick out and make the car look long and slim from a side view. Can you or anyone give me some feed back on the Vorsteiner Trunk Lid Spoiler or any other spoilers that would look good on my titanium silver car with single exhaust pipe?

Thank you in advance.

Daniel

If you want matching you can get the OEM M5 trunk spoiler - it complements the Mtech kit nicely. It is understated, not as aggressive as the other options.

I like the RDSport setup better than ACS; thus the decision was easy. When I was ready to purchase Trinity just happened to announce a crazy sale on them. I honestly never looked into the Vorsteiner spoiler.

Hey Mike,

I am shopping for the right trunk lid spoiler to make my car look more solid with the M-tech kit.

Your trunk lid spoiler makes the car look pretty solid from the back. Unless the picture is taken at a certain angle, each end of the spoiler seems to fit perfectly to the sides (right & left edges) of your car. Would you or anyone please tell me the name of that spoiler and show me pics of what it looks like from the side views?

Thank you in advance,

Daniel
