Beautiful wheels. I'm not one to mod cars and have never ordered a set of wheels in my life...these have me considering doing just that.

M2 CS spoiler!!! Saw it in another thread and pre-ordered one. The price was actually reasonable for a genuine BMW part.

It's in the shop as we speak getting some much needed window tint.

VRSF catless, ceramic coated downpipes should be delivered Thursday. Hopefully back in the shop next week for install and stage 2 tune.

Me too. Last purchase for this car for a while. Are you going to install yourself? I know i can do it but i'm going to see if a shop will do for reasonable cost as taking the original spoiler off is going to suck.

I'm not surprise, I was replacing my windshield, which required new insulation, costing $50.

When I opened it up, it was literally just a thin piece of foam, you can get generically, in any hardware store, for like $3.

That OEM tax will get you..

Or you could just get rid of it; no point in holding on to something that's putting a strain, on your loving relationship...

I'm obviously talking about your wife...

I am a very lucky man.
36 years of marriage and I can bring home a stray puppy
or a new car and she will always excuse me.

It's really simple to do it yourself. Just need some fishing line and adhesive remover. You can pick up the 3M tape at Home Deport or Lowes.

I just installed a M-Performance spoiler. I found removing the old tape on the trunk the hardest part but I did find a solution. GooGone helps get rid of the minor residue but won’t get rid of the thick stuff. After I blistered both thumbs from the push/roll method, I started to use my head. A Dremmel with a felt wheel was the salvation. What I did was lightly work the dremmel felt pad on the lowest setting and start at the edges working longways into the tape. What happens is the tape gets warm and sticks to the felt pad which in turn pulls the tape off faster. Long smooth strokes is all it takes. It works like magic. Occasionally you will have to remove the excess rubber from the felt pad. It took me 5 minutes to remove all the tape and left a perfect finish in the paint.

I also recommend a adhesive promoter where the new tape will stick. Do it on a warmer day above 60 degrees for the 3m tape to really bond correctly.

Everyone has dremmel and clean felt wheel/pad.
