Akyrm Front Lip and Rear Splitter on 2012 Dinan 550i M Sport

mpriceii · 08-19-2012, 03:42 PM

Finally got time to install my front and rear CF Akyrm pieces from Darin at SonicMS. Great service and great items for the price...dont see need to drop $2k plus on a front lip that has a high chance of finding a dip in road or some other low object!! Fit and finish is great...install on rear diffuser took 10 minutes....just snaps in. Front lip took a few hours to get it right.....have to use alot of 3M molding tape.....that and the factory 10 screws should hold it...fit is really nice....a few small gaps (1-2MM or so)...might try using a small bead of black silicone that I have seen another poster use around the edge of the lip and front air dam....will see..... Also installed a custom set of pedals from BMWPedals.com Awesome quality and really changed the looks of the interior.

Nice job man..car looks good. Only thing I would do is maybe put some spacers front and rear to widen that stance a little bit. Good job. Like the Dinan on the foot rest.

good idea..might do that when I wear out these run flat Dunlop's and put on a set of Michelin PSS's....

Yeah, that's going to do wonders for handling and looks. Now it kinda looks like its tip towing which makes it quasi top heavy and will have an impact on handling a bit. It will feel more planted and look tough with the wheels pushed out more.

Looks good. Now add a squat and the spacers or aftermarket wheels and man!!!!! It will look real mean not to mention handle way better!!
