1. That wing looks weird
2. How can you work on a dirty car?
3. A new M sport or 50i exhaust tips would look nicer than the skinny round one.

Looks good! It makes the front end look aggressive and wider. It looks better than the carbon fiber attachment for the M-Sport in my opinion, because it appears more inline with the design.

Another item on the list of mods.

That wing looks pretty similar to the one for the M-Sport.

Anyway, I'm torn because I love how aggressive the front bumper looks (way better than the soft round m-sport in my opinion. BUUUT i still prefer the look of the M-Sport rear with bigger exhaust tips.

Someone else asked for measurements of the openings, here you go.

The tips that came with the kit will be going on this Thursday. Had them powder coated last week.

Was delivered to my postal box in Champlain New York via UPS. I then went to get it and brought it over the border to Canada.

Was a bit of a hassle to get them on but they are finally on! The problem is that they are definitely not bolt on parts for the 35d, the muffler is different from the 35i. Some welding and bending was needed.

Will post better pics when the weather clears up and the car is clean again

The exhaust tips completes the rear look. I like it a lot. Ever thought about blacking out the rear lower red reflectors?

Fromkrypton,

That looks just right. I'd like to do the same.
Did you have any guide to remove and install? If not, can you give some steps and what to look for for any hardware (rivets) required?

Appreciate it man!

Fitment is perfect, I don't see how an original could fit any better. No weird gaps or anything.

My xline has unpainted fender flares so I'll keep it unpainted, plus my cars dark so I doesn't make much of a difference.

The kit doesn't come with the 10 plastic rivets needed for install but for a $500 savings over an original that's not an issue.

I am really happy about the fitment and overall quality of the product. Makes my xline front end look so much better.

Here are some quick pics after install. I'll post more outside when I get a chance.
I just received mine today for both front and rear. Where did you source the plastic rivets from? I still have some BMW ones left over from when i installed my factory fender flares. Do you think they are the same?
