My Ride: 2008 M5 Space Gray
RPI Scoops w/ filters
Eibach Springs
iForged Daytonas in Matte Black
CF Kidney Grills
CF Door Pillars
CF Side Vents
CF Side Mirror
Vorsteiner rear diffuser
ACS CF roof spoiler
ACS CF trunk spoiler
Dinan exhaust
It is a very cool thing to add, I gave in and bought it, hope it works out as promised. I got it in Black though and my car is gray with CF grills. Didn't know if I should get red as it might draw too much attention to it.

I live in Portland and we get a TON of rain over the winter/spring months. I just picked mine up a few months ago so I cannot personally say that there won't be any issues. However, the scoop has been designed to channel water away through the crack/bend. I pm'd another member that also lives in Portland and he had his for well over a year with no problems.
I couldn't feel a difference on the butt dyno but I know that my front end looks hell of a lot cooler lol.

I can imagine how cool it looks yours are in Red? Thats a nice mod to have ill have to save a bit after i put my kit and stuff! Those scoops really add to the front end! and supposedly keep the engine cool =)

If you have the dinan intake for the 550 do you buy the M5 RPI scoops that come as a pair?
