What is the name of the front splitter you purchased and lip? How hard is it to install yourself?

it is the 3d Style carbon fiber from Schmeidmann. was not hard at all to install. just some 3m tape and self tapping screws to hold everything in place

Lots of possibilities! All depends on what you like and of course your budget. Plenty of threads in this forum to give you plenty of ideas from all these great forum members! Except member Ickdeep...he bought a M5

All the mods were financially approved by the bank(wifey)

Im curious on this. Jet black is a bitch to keep swirls away when washing. How did this work for you? Any recommended buffer or can I use any ole off shelf buffer with the pads?

2 bucket method. Stay away from public/dealer washes. I used a Harbor Freight DA polisher but will replace it this year with a Rupert or something else. I still get slight scratches throughout the year because JetBlack is a PITA to keep swirl free.

Thanks! I always liked bronze wheels. As far as rubbing had none until I lowered the car a little ot more but only when I had people in the back. Gotta raise it back up a 1/2" and I'll be good

To wrap that similar to yours also wanted to wrap my mirror caps, is it difficult to remove them?

It's the same thing I ordered. Pretty easy to wrap. The mirror caps I did twice cause they started to peel after awhile so I ended up ordering the carbon fiber caps instead
