1hour to remove the original bumper apron (pain in the ass) and 20min to fit the new kit on.

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?

They are the exact same ones

Unfortunately no. It's only for the elite club members of non M-Sport trim. M Sport owners can watch from a side and cry and lick their snots - regretting their premature decision to not upgrade to non M Sport in the first place. Yep. Life is tough.

P.S. You may swap your M-Sport bumpers for a non M-Sport if you want

Photo requests of the completed job. In addition to the aero kit I had Eibach lowering springs, 15MM H&R spacers (front and rear) and K40 Laser Optix installed. Previously installed is the AC Schnitzer Exhaust and factory fender trim. The springs settled in about 500-1,000 miles after the photos were taken

anacondatp · 06-25-2018, 12:40 PM

for the rear kit, did you bought it painted or non painted? the bottom portion looks shiny so i think it may be painted to your car color?

M302_imola · 07-02-2018, 11:13 AM

rear valence looks great! Like they question above mine, is it painted? Also, are the aerodynamic looking flaps on the sides optional? In that, they can be installed or not installed? Also, what exhaust setup are you running?

That kit comes unpainted... I ceramic coated my aero kit with Carpro for wheels and plastics and they look great.. please note how the lower section of both the front and rear bumpers are "shinny" and smooth to the touch... The piece right above are almost matte but they have a texture... Like the black plastic in many bumpers...

aracka · 07-03-2018, 08:22 AM

I have the same question earlier...did the aerodynamic flaps come fixed onto the valence or are they removable? I am looking to get those painted

20 seconds will take you to take them off, two screws you need to undo per flap.

The lower middle portion of the rear air dame comes glossy and a dark grey/charcoal color. The side flaps are removable but not optional unless you fill the screw holes and paint it.

I am running the ACS axle back muffler with black tips. the sound is great compared to the factory but does not drone or affect the comfort of driving when not on the skinny pedal. Installation is challenging because of the crush rings that ACS uses to line up the pipes. I would not attempt to complete the install on my own again.

Did you removed the lower bumper vent trim to paint or just tape around and paint on the vehicle? I'm wanting to do mine, but I'm not sure how much of a pain it is to removed the vent trim.

Big fan of those quad exhaust tips! Makes the rear so much more aggressive looking.

The big tips do look means and the sound are addictive too. I noticed that more slower drivers move to the right on two lane road when I am behind them.

the grills look good. I couldn't find anything like this online. do you remember where you got these?

also, are the rear side wings attachment sturdy ? I'm afraid they get loose or fall off quickly, and then you end up with holes in the lower bumper!

thanks

Yes its the ebay version. The only thing you will need are the blind rivets. The lip doesn't come with any hardware.
