Finally got the parts painted and on my GS
SK style chin spoiler on a non F sport
F Sport top and bottom grill
Luxury spoiler
Cheap E bay mudflaps sprayed gloss black, I did not get them to enhance the look, not having them causes way too much mud to be kicked up on the body.

The SK style front spoiler and F sport bottom grill are not direct fits in a non F sport, you have to do a little modifying, dremel work, some extra drilling, and some spacers but you can get it to work and fit fairly decently. Can't say it is the easiest or quickest thing to do, if you just want the parts on there and don't care much about fitment issues then it is not so difficult and won't take too much time but if you try to get it fitted better it is going to take some time and a little modifying.

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics, I don't have a SLR or have much photo skills to get the cool angles/effects and the car is filthy, been too cold to wash for the past couple weeks.

Installed red vinyl over the orange turn signals, it's a nice little mod.

Currently have my cutouts sitting on the desk next to me. Need to get those installed. What soap combo did you use? Better yet, any install tips/tricks?

I used Johnson's baby shampoo and some water in a spray bottle, sprayed the light, removed the vinyl from the backing I sprayed it also... applied it to the light and used a credit card to squeegee it. Took all of 5 minutes, crazy easy

Cool light work

Just cleaned and conditioned my leather seats with Lexol, and a horsehair brush. I also washed the interior glass, it was beautiful driving in the rain.

I want quad exhaust tips and an axle back exhaust.

Looks great. I dont understand why the F-Sports dont come with all black trim like the BMW M-sport does. Sport means black not chrome LOL

If you'd like to set something up I could order them to my house and then ship them to you, just a thought!

Looks good - don't think I've seen anyone else rocking the SK Style lip on a non F-Sport...the mud flaps look OEM!

I saw a couple pics of 3 or 4 non F sports with the SK Style fitted so I decided to give it a try, not a direct fit but you can make it work with a little dremmel work and some extra drilling, I filled in the outer gaps on the side with plastic glued on before I painted it. I really like the way it looks and you can't beat $65, just hope I don't have any issues at higher speeds/long term. Everything I did to my car was well under $500. Mudflaps are $30 ebay specials sprayed gloss black2K clear, they fit pretty well once you get everything lined up.

Debating whether I should wrap the chrome around the grill in black, may do a trial just to see what it looks like.

Hey, is there anyway you could provide a link to the vinyl? I'm ready to wrap my chrome, and I want it to match the rest of the elements like yours, but there are so many product codes and colors to select. Any help is greatly appreciated!
