Looking good but I have to ask what is up with the rear bumper between the exhaust tips It looks like the opening is crooked and/or twisted?

Looks good man. Black tips! Good accent. I have the same rear bumper but i installed the extra piece though, so now u can't see through the hole. I'm going to get a piece of mesh and Customize it in the whole to give it a sporty, yet clean look.

To answer you guys i had to zip tie the bumper up alittle because the bumper was touching the stock 550i exhaust tips, but after i installed the exhaust i uncliped it and its almost back to normal waiting on the cover

I always wondered how those splitters would look. They turned out quite well. The front view looks really nice. Im gunna need to se more side and angle shots from the front to make a better judgement call tho cuz It looks weird to me from the side.

But the front view= Very very nice. I actually even like it better than the OEM CF splitters for the mtec.

What are your thoughts on them? Do you like them more than the OEM ones or would you have rather purchased the OEM ones since they were on sale too.
