Looks great Cmond! I have to fight the urge to mod other than visual mods. But really would like to go KW.

Keep the Brooklyn gray going here. This weekend I clayed, polished and coated the car and wheel faces with Adam’s Graphene ceramic spray coating advanced. Finished tonight so it needs to cure or I would have went out for some better photos!

No spacers as of now, although I had heavily contemplated it. I was concerned about any potential rub or limitations.

Will likely go 10mm or 12mm at some point!

Is it possible to install your original grille bars into the ali frame? I want to keep the X3M logo and I know some other companies sell the frame and you put the factory bars into it.

Spent about six hours over the weekend doing the once every 1-2 year full paint detail including full decon, machine polish with a DA, etc etc. Then I put the factory wheels and tires back on for summer.

Diffuser

I ordered it from a local store, the material is carbon, the installation was very simple, everything fit without any modifications. For the winter I use these 20 radius wheels in the M5 design

Are you planning to remove the bumper to install these? I saw them but hesitant to remove the bumper.
