Maybe it's just me but I think it looks out of place on our luxury sports sedan. Looks a little too racy and ricy but maybe it looks a lot better in person....

My first impressions were not positive but it would seem that there is a market for this mod.

In terms of the creativity and craftsmanship i must admit, you my friend get a very high
In terms of the look, i think i would have to see it in person.

I like the look but cleaning them will take forever unless they could be popped off and put in the dishwasher...

I think it looks very good
What about M-tech?
Are you talking about this one?
I'm about to finish it, some minor changes remaining.

Look, I'm a detail-maniac, so, trust me, the final result will be absolutely perfect and the placing will be very very easy

Slightly off topic but www.bimmian.com also sells a race mesh and they have it for both the stock and M Tech spoilers. If anyone's interested.

My main problem is that I have active cruise control so the mesh would have to be precut to accommodate for the distronic sensor....that is IF I was to get any types of mesh.

Yo Tony, be carefull as Nick can also do that for you, right? He is a maniac detailer I guess you just cut around the sensor and maybe you can paint it as it those not show much...
