Dipped the wheels today, not thrilled with the finish but gives me an idea how they will look if I paint them.

 

Haven't done much lately, but should have some more stuff added in the next couple weeks. only thing as of recent was I took the lower badges off the trunk.

 

Put a carbon copy of the stock spoiler on just now. Only took a hour to get the old one off and this on.

 

Nice. What kind of spoiler is that? I am looking for something exactly like it.

 

Its the same as a stock spoiler, just in carbon. I got it on Amazon from a place called Cuztom Tuning. Ordered it late Friday night, shipped Monday and got it Wednesday. No complaints on the carbon quality. Only thing to note is that it doesn't bolt on, it's 2 sided tape only.

 

hey man congrats on that car ! i recently got the GS, i am thinking of putting on the SK lip, where did you get that one ? and is it easy to install ? does it require drills and stuff ?

 

Well that was my first one I had, it lasted less then 2 weeks. So that I got on Amazon from Spec-D tuning and was $76. It needed trimming in the corners and the top part that fits along the bottom of the grill area was pretty flat and wasn't as nicely molded as the new one. Additionally it was really thin plastic and it shattered when I rubbed a curb at about 2mph in a parking lot. I only had the ends screwed in, the bottom I just used double sided tape. It also came with no hardware.
So I bought a replacement from Magic Drift on eBay for $70 and could not be happier. It is literally 2-3 times thicker all over and required zero trimming at all and fits like a dream. You bend the ends back a little and it hugs the bumper. So I used screws on the ends and tape again, but this time added self tappers to the bottom where there was spots indicated for them and they were also included. I would not hesitate to tell anyone to get this piece.

 

If you want a proper install on a lip or side skirts you should secure them with screws and not just tape. All lips will come with self tapping screws to complete the install. You don't have to predrill anything because it's plastic you are going into with the self tapping screw.

I'm unsure why people are so unwilling to use the screws in their bumpers and skirts? It's not like you could even see the holes if you ever decide to remove it.

 

Oh i dont really care its just i never done one so im kinda scared lol xD

 

Nothing to be scared of. There is no hole there where you want to secure the piece but as you start turning the screw it creates one. Just make sure you've lined up the lip properly and marked where the screw is going to go so you don't have any misalignment

 

alright, i took the plunge, ordered mine XD, quick question though, do you know if this is fine when going through car washes ?

 

You take great pics or the color just looks awesome. Prolly both. Just got mine in ultra white. First white car after having many black or dark blue. Should of given that color another look. I'm enjoying not worrying about scaping like I always had to on my 535i msport but that 3 inch drop looks sick.

It kind of hurts me how they drilled into your bumper for front plates. Ouch ! glad mine wasn't drilled.

 

Yeah I was not happy when I took the plate and plate bracket off. Been trying to find plugs that will work.
