Nice addition. Completes the whole look. Bumper looks really good. Have you decided on what diffuser yet for the quads?

Roy got his M tech rear from D/K's ride so the color matched (D/K put in a rear setup to accomodate their quads with cherry bomb muffler setup -- which is now setting off car alarms and seismometers all over the Outer Boroughs ).

Plan on 1.5 to 2 hours...we had a few difficult push pins to deal with....2 people would be ideal to hold adjust and put in place.

Looks Awesome! Congrats on the great job DIY. I'll be getting mine back from the paint shop this week and put it on next week.

Nice looking rear, man! Great work Likewise, I am leaning towards Hamann diffuser. When do you plan to get quads?

I am not in a rush....I want to find the right set-up...my ideal set-up would be RD Sport or Hamann...but pretty expensive. I currently have Eisenmann....might buy the setup for the other side...but its a tap from the exzisting exhaust, and if you look at the Eisenmann quad for 545i/550 its a pipe to a plate with two tips does not look right. I welcome any thought's or advise!
