Everything was custom installed using airlift universal ran about $6500 parts and labor.. so far I love it better than having a static height. It's not my everyday car nor my winter ride so it was worth it for me. I only have 12k miles on it and plan on keeping it for a long time. My front mounts have a clunking going on right now. Waiting on the new custom mounts from Cali to come in today or tomorrow then will get my alignment done

Oh wow... that is pricey. But seems like a good investment. Where did you find the bags?

I recently had the H&R lowering springs installed and I have the clunking sound also when I turn the wheel from lock to lock and when driving over speed bumps. Would you know what that could be a result of?

Not sure my installer said it's loose mounts after troubleshooting. Bags are from airlift. Being the first bagged f15 in northeast it's hard finding out info on this... Running one 5 gallon tank and 2 compressors with airlift 3p management

Damn.

Now is a great opportunity to hit up r33_RGSport / Ben for a set of painted reflectors and make the swap. Labor is covered by the assailant.

Not a bad ideal. I'm taking it to a Certified BMW collision center and will inquire. You think they'll need to repaint the whole bumper, or will they spot correct and blend?

If that’s Mineral White, I’d bet they’d have to spray the entire bumper, if it’s Alpine White they might be able to blend. I suspect they’ll remove and spray the entire bumper regardless of color.
As for the painted reflectors, mine is AW and I have a set from Ben. Perfect match.

The reflector might have scratches on it, hard to tell from the pic. Lucky that she missed the CF lip.

Yeah, I'm not happy about the situation since I just installed the CF lip a month ago. It shifted and now has a gap so it will need to be reinstalled. I used 3m tape and installed it myself but this time I'll have the shop use beta link since I'm not paying for it.
