Living with it for a day+ now and I think I'll keep it. I honestly wasn't sure at first. A little before and afters, same shots. Just need the tips to complete the transformation.

Anyway, just an alternative perspective. If over time I do feel like something is out of place, I will swap out the Cerium trim and mirror caps, but so far, I think I am good with the look. M5 CS, CF spoiler:

Looks awesome. As i stated earlier I used the 3m wheel. I like how the CF looks with the blue. Great choice.

What rear diffuser is that? Thinking I may want to swap the standard one out as well. Did you just paint the original gloss black and add the bottom piece? Or did you replace the full bumper? In checking iND's site (I live close to there so I may just use them for parts and install) they have 2 different options for OEM diffuser upgrades. |

Cant wait to see the Dinan installed. Hopefully you get the axle back soon. I'm going to start my mods this Spring/Summer. Definitely LCI tails, probably the easy to install knockoffs. Then difuser, intake, CF spoiler, removing closest resonator to muffler (sound check), then possibly cutting the other off as well. Probably a piggy back tune somewhere in there too......zoom,zoom...

Awesome! Please do a garage cold start before/after video. It would be nice to hear the difference in a controlled environment.

I'm going to do: - Cold Start Stock - Comfort Rev stock - Sport + Rev Stock - Drive off Comfort - Drive off Sport + Then do all these with the exhaust installed. Probably do a few with the remote opening the valve on comfort.

Thank you. I wish I did it a while. It definitely adds a bit of character, but not over the top.

Joe-BMW33 does your CS spoiler have a gap on the back bottom? I cannot tell from the picture but mine does. I might have done a poor job installing as at the back of the trunk the CS has a gap between the spoiler and trunk.

Got a pic? I *think* I know what you are referring to and I think it is by design, but I just dropped my car at the dealer and can't go out an look. Here is a close up old picture (forgive the paint, this was before the paint correction).
