My Ride: 528i, m5 style front, side skirts, and mtech rear. 5% dark tints, matte black grills, w/matte diffuser. Black/white Emblems, Shadowline Trim, Ksport Coilovers,
Hi, guys I got a 2008 alpine white 528i on stock suspension with 19in M6 rep wheels. Also have M5 rep front, side skirts and mtech rear along with dark tint I want to drop the car to remove the wheel/fender gap. But shit costs alot, 800ish for spring and shocks plus $600 labor total about $1400. I also want those M5 mirros that NVD sells, looks hot. And I can get that done for about $700 installed. Either way Im spending money. Whats yall's advice get the bad ass looking mirros, or do the drop which I read is only about 1 inch all around. Will the drop be more of a EYE catcher or the Mirros. Im open for suggestions, ill listen. Here are some pics also

That's a hard one. Your car looks nice already, but a drop is much needed. I would do the drop and later do the mirrors.

i would do the drop.. it would complete the look of your car more then the
mirrors would... mirrors can be done later. but if you have the cash just do both!
