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.
Thx! I actually have the LCI tails w/ bruces cables it's hard to tell in the pic. Yep close to pulling trigger on the trunk lip. You are right though on the black, when I see a black e60 on the road it's hard to see if it has the front mtech.

thx tel25, lesse8080 and jg525i!
is there a reason why the stock brake ducts wouldn't fit? Sorry for a newbie question when it comes to this kit? I don't think Umnitza mention anything about needing a different brake ducts during installation.

Thanks

where it connects to the bumper, the stock duct is rectangular and the mtech it triangular in shape, see the differences below:

Bro, if you know of a good installer in the Phila, PA area that can do it for 300 - 500 please let me know. The prices I've been quoted are in 1500 - 2k range (including painting)...
