20% tints all around?

Very clean. Love the wheels. Do you have to drill the front to attach the lip?

One of the nicest wheels I have seen on an M5. Looks great!

This looks amazing - the deep rear lip is great.

Thanks guys! Stock tint. I had the lip installed by my bodyshop, got it from Turner along with the H & Rs and the rear bottom Hartge lip, never saw them install it, not sure if it is bolted or not. Wheels & PS2s came from Tirerack...

nice work! looks awesome. Love the lowered look and the breytons. Hpw is that clear braw holding up?

are you considering any exhaust changes?
There is a guy in vancouver with a 'Eiesnmen(sp?) sport' and its the nicest sounding thing on the planet!

cheers

Kahuna- Looks great!! Love the wheels. Question for you: I have a black M5 on order and would like to do the front lip like you. Did it come painted or did you have it painted? Thanks. Michael

Nice setup, car looks good lowerd with lip and wheels.

The Hartge lip & rear diffusor come unpainted, I had a local BMW approved bodyshop do the install with BMW paint. The clear bra has held up really well, in fact the one time I had the M5 on the track a pylon was hit in front of me, and would have scuffed the paint, it just scuffed the clear bra...love it, I have it on all of my cars now.

I don't think I am going to change the exhaust, as much as I would like some more growl when on the throttle, I don't want to give up the quiet cruising, I have my Z for loud.

There was a black M5 at the track with a totally custom exhaust, it sounded better than the F430 that was there, but I think it would be pretty loud all the time.
