I also have the JB Speed M Performance style color matched rear lip spoiler and again, a quality piece. My car is Imperial Blue which basically is blue, black, and purple and they did a good job of matching it. Is it absolutely perfect? No, but it's about as close as you can get, plus I know I'm the only one that notices because I'm so meticulous about this car.

I woke up and thought, it's 2017, time to get hardcore! So I just ripped out my front grilles for the world's first, as far as I can tell, F10 running front grille deletes. BA, I know.

Later, I thought better of it, and realized the world isn't ready for a BMW with absolutely no kidney grilles. So I ended up throwing in the next best thing to the sick front grille delete, dual slat gloss black grilles from JBSpeed.
Very nice!

Nice! If you want to keep working on the front end, here is the link to the lip I just got. I'm waiting the CF wrap to come to wrap it on install. Hopefully within a fews

Thanks man! Took a new shot today, no sun unfortunately but I'm really liking the combo more and more. Initially I was concerned I should've gone with the graphite wheels, but I'm happy with the selection more each day.

eBay Link for the one I bought. It came in about a week or so. It was just ABS plastic unpainted so I wrapped in CF to give it a real look with a 1/5 of the price. I used 4 self-tappping screws + 3M tape to hold it secure. Fitment for me is good. |

it's versatile if you wrap it in carbon fiber vinyl. even if you scratch it it'll only be from underneath

That's partially why I got this lip is because if it ever get damaged, it's very easy and relatively inexpensive to replace. I just wrapped in CF for looks but it's just plain black (click the eBay link and you see it how it's shipped)

Another member was asking for pictures of the wheel & tire setup I'm running to see the stretch on the tires. As for the tires, the sidewall looks ok for my liking. For the wheel gap with this setup, the height of the rear shocks on my car is actually not too bad, but the front is a different story. I just picked up some lowering springs because of the wheel gap. I don't need a big drop since my wife will be driving it a lot of times.
Wheel setup 20x9 w/ 255/35/20 front 20x10.5" w/ 285/30/20 tire rear Tires are Michelin A/S 3+ which michelin has a usually prominent sidewall. Personally I like a mild stretch because of that. Pics are low quality garage photos right now. The rear have a mild stretch while the front is pretty close but barely any stretch.

These little goodies came in today.
Also, I ended up getting my windows done with Huper Optik 20% all around, except the front window, which I left alone. It looks great overall, but the difference between front and sides has me still considering going back for 70% up front. I'm going to see how it goes. Any advice on the front window and certainly anyone who has done I'd like to see some pics before I make a final decision. I'll post pics tomorrow after I clean the car up real nice!

Cleaned her all up and snapped a few pics today. I had the windows tinted last week. I spent a lot of time debating between 20% and 35%, but after seeing how light 35% was I wanted a little darker. I still wish there was a 25 or 30, but without that option I decided on Huper Optik 20% all around except the front, which is naked for now.
I also had some touch up paint work done to my driver side paint and just got back from the detailer who reapplied the protective ceramic coating. The car looks like the paint is still wet it's so clean and perfect. I wish iPhone pictures did it justice. Next up, in the next few weeks I'll get the M5 spoiler installed and the Dinan springs with bumpstops, which I'm really hoping are low enough to make me happy. I have that sinking feeling I'm going to want to switch to ACS if the drop is minimal or non-existent. Hope everyone is having a great weekend out there.
