Greetings everyone. I had planned on doing these mods later this summer, but I got a little ambitious and couldn't wait until the summer got here.

List of mods done in the past month:

1. RPI exhaust (LOVE THE SOUND)
2. Hamman replica splitter (for M5tech kit)
3. NVD M5 mirrors (what a pain in the ass to install. how did you all remove the wiring and wiring clips from the stock mirrors? I ended up cutting them had to solder each wire back after fishing them through the new mirrors.)
4. Changed my all matte black kidney grilles to matte black surrounds with stock inserts. I got bored with all matte black and often thought that it looked like two empty holes from far away. Got this idea way back when Simon made a post about it. I always thought it looked good, but never got around to changing them out. Eventually I would like to go with body color painted kidney border with either the matte black inserts or stock.
5. OEM M5 trunk spoiler
6. Purchased those bimmian roundel overlays from another member to change the look. I already had black/white and carbon fiber/silver roundels for the hood and trunk, but I still had the stock blue/white wheel caps. Now everything matches my white/black theme. I also decided to change the trunk roundel up a bit (see pic below).

Thanks for looking!

PICS!

Looks amazing! Great job on the mods. BTW is that from splitter from Umnitza?

Kaizen

Yep, Umnitza splitter. Fitment was actually quite good. I did have to heat it up a bit to mold it to how I wanted it to look.

Looks great! Love the finished product.

Kaizen

I measured it the other day. I think it sits at about just under 4 inches off the ground. I have no problems clearing speed bumps when I enter at an angle. I do scrape the bottom a tad when entering and exiting steeper driveways.

It's totally worth the risk IMO. I love the way it looks.

is your side skirts short? I was looking at a picture of a side view and looks like it was short in the front side

Kaizen

Yep, lol. The replica M5tech sideskirts are known to be short. You get what you pay for I guess. I may upgrade to OEM one of these days.

Is the splitter installed using double sided tape??
