here are some pics of it done.
what do you think? i really like it. keeps the aggressive shape of the m5 tech bumper.
now i am in limbo of what my next step will be with this car. m5 sides and wheels? or m5 rear bumper and quad tip exuast..

im going to take this off the car and clean up those black lines and push them back just a tiny bit so the silver doesnt show at all when its on the car.

plus i dont think i can get into the parking lot because of all the speedbumps with this splitter on.. lol :thumbsdown:

props on doing it differently. but i'd rather keep it all black or paint match. and i'd go for wheels next, looks weird without wheels. reminds me of high school when everyone used to get body kits with no wheels. :thumbsdown:

thanks!
im not sure whats next. im not allowed to spend to much at once on this lol

im thinking either wheels and m5 sides, however i cant decide on wheels. nothing is really appealing to me. the m5 wheels look good. it does feel pointless to mod this thing back up to it appearing to be "m5 oem"... lol maybe if i can find a nice set of wheels i like i'd be able to do those and some M Sides.

or maybe going with the rear m5 bumper and umnitza quad tip exhaust. im not fully sure.

going for different, i didnt care for either all black, or all paint matched splittter so i took this route.
yeah i noticed that too, it does look odd.. it almost disgusts me to look at it.
the front end is super aggressive an the rest of the car is just blah. starting to look ricey
i need to figure out what my next step will be.. i spend way to much time on the computer looking at e60's to get a feel for wheels.. just nothing is jumping out at me. i dont plan to lower the car so chosing wheels is critical. some wheels look super nice stanced well like the miro 111's while without a drop and spacers, looks somewhat out of place.
