Front and sides are okay but rear is too busy. IMO, OEM is your best bet.

Aftermarket kits do not usually fit the car exactly no matter what anyone says, unlike the OEM kit. And since what you're looking at is a replica of an aftermarket kit the chances of it fitting seamlessly are not good. It is cheap for a reason... Food for thought.

strongly agreed, and pretty much everyone says the same thing,
aftermarket just don't fit that well, but if i really go for one,
definitely not AC, a lot of ppl like the Racing Dynamic on other forum,
but i'll recommend Hamann
just had a M-kit installed on my 530, looking awesome
