Hi all,

Just came across this Decorative Fender Grill being sold in eBay, and i kinda like its looks. I want the M5 type fender grill, but i dont have the balls to cut the fenders at all! so Without any cutting required, this is the only solution i have.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-M3-M5-3...88489QQtcZphoto





Please let me know what you think of it and would you suggest i go ahead with it? Would it look totally FAKE!???

I compared it with some other real M5 grills fitted on the fender with the cuttings, and it seems to be very realastic to me (last time i saw an M5, i didnt really concentrate on the finish of the fender grills on it)

Thanks!

I WOULDN'T do it for two reasons:
1) It reads M5 in it, and I don't have M5
2) It's a sticker
------------------------------------
Equals: A TOTAL FAKE

You should only do it if:

1) You plan on chroming out your car (handles, trim, rims, mirrors, etc)
2) You replace all your BMW emblems with the Red Honda/Acura Emblems.
3) Change your name to INSANE RICER!

P.S. Obvious troll is obvious.

Dude that's pure poser style! Don't do it. It's cool if you put on the acs ones on if you have acs...
but don't do it just to perpetrate.
