My question is, does that actually hold and how do you deal with over epoxy since the only part touching or in contact with the bumpers on the top or sides is thin as a penny. I would think you would have epoxy everywhere?

Thanks in advance
I didn't use Betalink adhesives because I didn't want to deal with the messy aftermath Another member Alan installed his with 3M VHB double sides tape and the supplied screws and bolts. I followed his instructions and as of today the front lip is still on the car without any issues. Here is his DIY thread if you are interested in going that route. http://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1132458


Another member used the Betalink and his instructions here http://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...60&postcount=1

And also I'm attaching the official BMW parts installation instructions pdf. for reference. Good luck!

Purchased it from iND for $100. iND buys the emblem from BMW and paints them.

Kazzaam.....that is tight!! Thanks for remembering.

Done deal....painting the tips. I want to get that IND painted roundel trim too. Leaning towards color keyed and making it space gray. Think black drowns out the BMW roundel black.

Gotta say I got mine Thursday and very satisfies with the ride, look, MPPK pick up. Was worried it wouldn't have enough power after owning 4 V8 BMW's consecutively. Even without a stack, its peppier than I thought it would be. It ain't the 5.0 but my racing days are over.

Because Kzang subconsciously makes people spend money on mods even though they don't want to.

It's easy, Kzang has been a very active member of the community for years and has been a major influence for many (including myself) to mod our F15s. He has contributed a lot of great assets to the community, including a handful of Youtube videos that have inspired many of us to pull the trigger on MPPK. His build thread is very informative and gets a lot of views based on search results.

Now it's my turn to get YOU to spend more money...I couldn't help but notice that your rear hatch roundel is still chrome. Time to get the gloss black ones from iND. And FYI, I have one for the front hood on order so that should complete things for me. I'm not even going to bother with the tiny amount of chrome in the headlights, LOL!

Oh...just noticed the black exhaust tips! And I found the page where you did it....sigh..I forgot about those chrome tips. I guess I need to do mine at some point. What are those tips you got...MBK? They're aftermarket?
