WOW... Love the mods. both are equally as great!

How did you remove the side grille inserts btw?

I'm going to install the M-tec aero kit so I didn't put any real effort into it- but surprisingly just masking the right and left sides carefully produced a great job! The center grill unsnaps in 2 seconds (I'm amazed it doesn't fall out on the road it's attached so flimsily...) so that was easy enough. I used a vinyl conditioner to soften the plastic for a better adhesion but I doubt that really helps much.

It's funny because now I notice all the other e60's that haven't done this and the front end looks like it's missing something... Send pics if you do yours- Cheers.
