That black spoiler looks much better.

I think I'm the only one on the forums that isn't a fan of paint matched rear reflectors lol. It just makes those pieces look out of place, which I'm glad my M5 style front bumper doesn't have them too.

You're not the only one.I don't like the front either. Smoked is more better, IMHO.

Did you ever get a comparison side by side of the 3M and Avery? Avery is sitting in my room, waiting till a good time to re-wrap the spoiler and try the mirrors, door handles, and side markers...

I haven't had a chance to go to any shop yet. I work about 8-7 including commute and most shops around me close up at 5. I might have the day off tomorrow so I will update you if I stop in tomorrow.

Are those 4 inch tips? What kind of exhaust are you running?

Just a heads up....not sure if you noticed this or not but you need to remove the rear bumper and re-align the center portion properly in the guides so it sits flush with the trunk. See pic's

Sorry for re-using members pics for this example

Appreciate the input. I noticed I may have put the bumper on incorrectly so I'll be realigning it this weekend when I put my new diffuser and spoiler on. Thanks!

are the guides already on the car itself or is it this adaptor when you buy the MSPORT bumper kit?

The guides are on the car it self, the bumper has the grooves where they meet the guide on the vehicle. If the grooves are not aligned correctly with guide, it will cause the bulge we see

Its crazy that I didn't even noticed that I had the same issue on my car until seeing these photos. Luckly I had happened to take the bumper off again tonight so I made sure when I put it back on that it was sitting flush .
