M5 Front End Swap Completed

Nice. What strut brace is that and did you notice any difference? Looking at it I wonder whether there would be any gain based on the existing bracing and proximity to the firewall structure.

Looking damn fine! What was your method of attack? Acquire the metal (and plastic front bumper) body pieces, mount, paint front-end? Or did you have them rack painted and then mount? Did the hood get a respray? I'm currently trying to plan this out for myself. Thanks!
Also--what's your current wheel setup? Looks nicely filled out.

Nope I got the carrier from a used M5, the original carrier doesn't work. Maybe the M-tech carrier will work!!!Mine is non M Package. I bought the M5 rear bumper bracket the one that is below the quarter panel but I am just wasting my $$$
