Just waiting to see if those aftermarket lip will work with the bumper before I pull the trigger.

BTW, is your car lowered? Seems like from the side pic, the gap is very minimal.
Thx! I bought the car from the original owner with the 20" wheels already on the car, so I'm not sure if it's lowered. I've always thought it looked lowered, so maybe I'll get it checked out. I'm running 275/30 tires in the back and 245/35 in the front, and like you said, there is very minimal gap.

Found the side marker on ebay. It's the M style with the chrome metal extension. I wasn't a fan of the 6" chrome piece so I took it off.

Thx! Not sure about the truck spoiler yet. I wanna see it in person with the mtech kit before I make a purchase. Although I don't want to install it and then have to rip it off later.

That looks good! Doesn't look like a DIY install at all. Very nice! I wish I had the skill to install mine - I could save about 1500...

If by attempting to install it myself and I will save 1500, please sign me up. Installation is usually around 300 to 500 only tel25. You can always attempt to install the side skirts first.

@medik13 kit doesn't come w/ brake ducts, obviously the stock ones won't fit, so I purchased oem mtech ducts from the dealer for $34 each

thx tel25, lesse8080 and jg525i!

Amazing job. You have the perfect color for this kit, really brings out the lines. My car is black so I always hesitated on getting anything like this because all the lines are washed out as-is.


Do the LCI light conversion and you'll have an expensive looking machine on your hands.]

PS: The M5 trunk finisher is a must, it fills the annoying gap on the trunk lid and is really cheap to buy and have painted. I did it a while back and am pleased.
