So original and clean! I love the mods you have done.

Anyway, a trunk finisher is not the same as a spoiler/trunk lip. It covers the trunk key hole and makes the rear look flush and cleaner in my opinion.

Haha thanks man! You had a big part in my wheel/tire sizing! I've heard that complaint a lot regarding my tips. I'll have to hack up the bumper when I get some more work done because these tips are as big as I can go with the openings. ALSO, maybe I'll go quads. I wanted to stay away from quads so people don't think I have a M5 but I just love symmetry so damn much!





Here's my first rolling shot taken by my friend and local photog.

and no I didn't mean trunk spoiler by trunk finisher. I know you got a trunk spoiler already. Have a closer look at this thread again to see what we're talking about. Might be hard to tell 1st time since the car is black. It's the actual piece around the license plate. Fills up the gap and makes it flush with the rest of your trunk. It's stock on the M5 and a nice touch on any E60

its not a direct fit but it can fit with some modification. I think you just need to shave the actual trunk finisher a bit so it can fit LCI. EuroRev used to modify them and sell them here in SoCal but stopped. I'm sure you could bring it too a good body shop that can make it fit

and found some more info here.
