Yeah.... I agree with you. It would look cleaner.
But I will never debadge.... because I don't want anyone thinking I have a 525.
I've got a V8 in my car, and I'm letting the world know it.

I am really not sure what to say.? I guess it you like it, then it's worth it.
I don't think it would make that much difference if you had a black car like mine.
I am still debating whether or not to get M-body kit because I've seen a black one with it, but its so subtle that without a closer look, I couldn't tell it had the body kit.

I think the rear lines will be even smoother and cleaner on a black, especially when clean and polished. Personally going for it, on order, will have pics at the end of the month. You can see it on mine and make up your mind.

I will measure when I get home.
The reason I had to cut my licence plate was not to make the plate fit in the opening..... but because the Screw Holes needed to be higher up on the plate, and I don't have a drill.
So cutting the plate was the easy solution.

Cool thanks... I've been trying to look for a clear-er pic of the US version. I've seen a really good one before but wasnt able to locate it again.
Hummm looks good. but might not be worth $400 good to me.
