I used 3M tape, I think it's 1/4" roll but I had to order online because I couldn't find it locally where I live. Good luck either way, I remember feeling like it was going to blow off on the freeway, the first week I drove through my mirrors waiting for it to end up on the interstate, haha

Hate that feeling!

new front bumper support

mesh grills installed. I will say these snapped in place with no issues whatsoever. the quality is on point

so wanted to show how things lined up. pretty tight if you ask me as most aftermarket bumpers give you about a 90% fit

and here's where it meets the hood. just need to make some minor adjustments

where did you order the bumper from?

lsturbointeg · 10-11-2019, 03:20 PM

shop called me and said my front bumper is ready to be picked up. Carbon fiber splitters looks to be enroute from Michigan last time I checked status and
also i'm replacing my gloss black double slat grills with the carbon fiber version!

also replacing both front bumper/trunk badges with the carbon fiber version from JBSpeed

BurrNinja · 10-11-2019, 09:31 PM

I wanna get the carbon fiber version of blue emblems.

How does the double design grill fit? I ordered a similar set from china but they don't fit flush at all. If they fit similar to OEM, please provide link. They all seem the same on eBay so hesitant to re purchase another set.

I bought these a few years ago from Ebay so I don't recall the seller. It's a hit or miss when you order from Ebay as far as quality and fitment. But for me I thought my set fit pretty well. No gaps, no discoloring, fading or cracking of any kind. I just decided to get the Carbon Fuber versions

lsturbointeg · 10-12-2019, 03:02 PM

picked up the bumper today and oh my god it's freakin' AWESOME! so glad I decided to paint the lower grills JetBlack as well. the shop said to wait a few days and they'll do another buff to clean things up

ferizzo · 10-16-2019, 09:45 PM

Trying again. Pics after a detail with cf spoiler attached

lsturbointeg · 10-16-2019, 11:24 PM

installed F90 front bumper!

lsturbointeg · 10-19-2019, 10:49 PM

BMW badges from JBSpeed came in! quality is pretty on point. pretty solid with a bit of weight to them. I was worried they were going to be some cheap plastic but this is very well made

just for reference here's what I had before. from shadowtrim kits here's their version just a carbon fiber sticker which is really well made as I've had it on for 4 years

and here's JBSpeed's which the whole cap is glossy

lsturbointeg · 11-05-2019, 03:22 PM

VSRF dp came in! odering v-band clamp and turbo gasket

What's a Turbo gasket and why ? it didn't come with clamp ? If anything use your stock
Clamp just remove off stock dp

gasket where the turbo connects to the dp. saw a bunch of reviews. not necessary but i'm going to replace it anyways...just a preventative maintenance. regarding the v-clamp I saw that some times it looks like the nut sometimes will be corroded. won't know until I get up under there
