That looks great. Trying to make the decision between this and the LTBMW 1M bumper.

Looks great!

I know the thread is re the front but I'm wondering, what gets you this side skirt (sorry if I'm naming it incorrectly) - that is not stock, the way its scooped in, right?

Thanks!

This is 100% factory and fits perfect. The LTBMW 1M looks awesome but I keep reading about "fits pretty good".. Needs some this or that... I'm sure they'll get it perfect.

Those are the side skirts that come on the M Sport. Same as the front end.
The rear bumper is also different on the M Sport.. I"ll change the side skirts down the road but not the rear bumper. Not a fan of the rear bumper.

Thanks!

I paid just under $1,700 for everything and that's with a great deal from Greg (GTM). BMW painted and installed. They were so reasonable on the install I just had them do it. Glad I did since I needed different brackets for the fog lights and a different center bracket was needed. ($60 bucks for the 3 brackets). The money was well spent. The car looks 100% better.

It's dropped now and looks awesome...

Going to PM Greg for the price on the side skirts.. Now that the front is done it makes the sides look a little bland.

Do you think you could post some more pictures of the car before you get side skirts? I'm thinking about getting the bumper only for my car but I was worried about how the sides would look. So it would be nice if I could get a reference hehe

Doesn't look bad at all with just the front done. I have AW as well so thanks for the picture, I now know how my car will look.

Cheers.
