Mine have held up great (had them for over a year now), but they're a pain in the ass to keep clean. Not sure if the m performance ones are any better in that regard. Fitment was ok on my m performance exhaust, but I did have to crank the hell out of the clamp to get them to stay put. CF quality looks good, no noticeable defects.

I did order mine from ebay from a guy in the US, so it made things simpler if I had to return them. That's the biggest downside to ordering from aliexpress. Returns are basically impossible unless you pay a ton for shipping.

I purchased with full suspicion and expected the worst. Completely the opposite. It took nearly a month to arrive but the Chinese New Year then coronavirus added several days. They express shipped via DHL and when they finally hit the system it was two days to me.

The brushed metal is consistent and looks great. The "logo" is also right on. The carbon looks great and I cannot see any weave defects. They are pretty substantial items and I'm very pleased.

All communication was with "Helen" and she was perfectly conversational and kept me updated throughout the whole process. I initiated comms via the Alibaba messaging system and once we had a spec (diameter of inlet/outlet, carbon finish, metal finish) she sent me a PayPal invoice.

Yes, there is a big clamp on the underside. Not very noticeable in my opinion but I plan to give them a squirt with heat resistant black spray paint to make them less visible.

To simply replace my chrome stock items these are money. No way on the face of the earth would I pay $1300+ dollars for a set of soot gathering exhaust pipe tips. For 20% of that price, I got exactly what I expected and wanted.

Here are several images of the tips on the car taken the day and day after (with some driving dust) installation.

Hello I need some help, I purchased a 2018 BMW M2 in Canada at a non BMW Dealership.
Before I purchased this car I made sure the paint was in pristine condition. While waiting for pick up, it looks like someone keyed it on the dealers lot. It had to get 2 panels re-painted. I also cannot go look at it as I live in a different province. I am so disappointed, I asked for a full refund. What do you think would be fair compensation? I would like to post a photo but the forum currently wont let me. Would appreciate some feedback

I've contemplated doing this on my M, as well as the stock rear spoiler. Did you remove the shark fin?

Looks great btw.

No. wrapped around it. I didn't want to deal with it possibly leaking later on if I took it off.

It actually took me 2 attempts to get it right. The first time I laid the paper-backed vinyl over the car and then marked the spot where the fin was, moved it onto the glass, and cut out a small diamond shaped hole where it was.

The problem I ran into with this method was it took me quite a bit of stretching to get air bubbles out, and ended up stretching the hole I cut to the point where I didnt have enough material to go around the fin cleanly.

The second time around, I started from the front and just peeled the whole paper off and layed it over the fin. We got the entire front glassed and locked down, and then cut a small slice along the peak of the fin, gradually heating it, and working it into shape. It required a couple extra small cuts along the way to get it, but the end result looks great.

I covered the entire sharkfin with a couple layers of painters tape to help protect it from getting sliced from the vinyl cuts on it. You just have to use a light touch with a sharp blade.

Bought it last year from Leroy Engineering. They have I believe 3 models. This is their step up from their basic trailer.Very light weight, I don't have the exact weight but they have a great Web-site. Tongue weight with 4 track tires and 2 fuel jugs with tool box is app. 60 lbs. Less than a small child in the back seat. When I take it to the track I do not even notice I am towing anything. When I ordered it it came in 3 packages and assembled in 2 hours. Can't say enough about the quality of their product. They are track guys and know what they are doing. They will also custom build. They are located in Ohio.

"Installed" all weather floor mats.

And since it was the first 70 degree day of the year, took it on a long drive to nowhere in particular. Revs so naturally, didn't even feel like I was pushing it.

Finally burned some rubber. Good to be be back out enjoying the first event of the year at Summit. Here is a video from one of the afternoon sessions.
