as for why i responded, (a) i obviously have more time than you and (b) just to point out that you're trolling and trying to start something when there is nothing.

I could ask the same thing... if you felt I didn't appreciate the comments, why would you bother mentioning it? After all, you don't have time to read the thread but you have time to post useless comments that have no basis? No wonder you have 5500 posts.

Yes. Both the front lip and the trunk lip attach right onto the oem bumper and trunk.

The trunk lips is super easy and requires no equipment. Just clean the trunk surface properly. It comes with 3m double sided tape so you gotta line it up properly.

The front lip is a bit more work. There are 5 screws under the front bumper. You have to remove them, then fit the bumper on properly and make sure it all lines up. Once I learned how to put it on properly, i took it off, put some double sided tape inside towards the upper end of the lip and put it back on. There are holes in the lip at the bottom and the 5 screws you took off the bumper should go back in and secure the lip if everything was lined up properly.

Nice ride.

Don't like the vents in the bumper. Stands out too much and kinda looks riced out on a BMW. Looks really good on a porsche because of it's wide read and the fact that it serves a purpose for the rear engine cars.

As for the front plate, having it in the center looks more classy. If you are not looking to drill holes into your bumper, you can attach it using a license plate kit that mounts in areas that do not ruin your bumper.

You should be able to find quite a bit of info on this forum in regards to "Hidden Style" license plates if you are interested in going that route.

I learned to live with it, for another week !! Two years of finger pointing and was time for a change. Got a damaged mtec OEM rear bumper for free that my body shop fixed for $300 and I got OEM sides for $150. They're getting painted and mounted next week....

Well, the car looks good. I liked it really as well when you had posted the pictures in the "how to import from US thread" and that's why I ALSO bought a white/red and paid $1500 for that color combo. Mine's a 328xi though but I could have gone space grey or black sapphire metallic.

The car looks good -- but you (and I), I think need to invest in better looking wheels.

But then what do we do with the f*ckin potholes on the miserable roads of this city? Pisses me off no end to have thousands of my tax dollars not yield back much. If they took off ALL taxes off gas right now, it'd drop to 97cents/liter.

I'm definitely doing rims... just a matter of when. As for the potholes, well, gotta drive with one eye open!

I was specing out some last night with 18" Continental All-Season DWS...$2000 is the lowest I got. $3100 with OZs.

Any particular brand of wheels in mind?
