Finally received all my parts from Maxton and had them installed:

1. Front Splitter V.2
2. Side Skirt Diffusers
3. Central Rear Splitter w/ Vertical Bars
4. Spoiler Cap

What do you think?

I’m a fan. Looks great. I’ve had Maxton Design on my last few cars and especially like them as they offer gloss black. Fit is always on point, easy to install and customer service is always responsive. It’s also at a price point where you’re not hating life having to replace the front splitter when you’ve cracked it from taking a steep decline you’re not familiar with which has happened to me in the past.

I will also add….I’ve always taken the logos off. Personal preference but I think it gives it a cleaner look. They are easy to peel off (usually a fingernail) and some cleaner to remove adhesive residue.

Looks great! Especially against the gravity gray. Aggressive presence which I always appreciated about the X6M, now with your mods, even more so.

Looks great; thank you for sharing!
The only thing that would make it look even better is lowering. 😉

Car and mods look great! I've been wanting to do the Maxton Design front, sideskirts, and rear diffuser as well.

How'd the installation go?

I had concerns over the rear diffuser. I've tried comparing photos of my 2021 F96 and the website to see how it'd install. The backup sensors and OEM diffuser look like 1 piece. Did the Maxton kit come with everything you needed (besides tape/screws?) Any other installation issues? TIA!

Texas needs to get rid of the front plate! Why can some states do without it and others insist on a front plate?

Install went exceptionally well, shop installed similar kits on BMWs in the past. I decided to go with 3M bonding adhesive (not included) and screws (included) for the front splitter, side skirt diffusers, and central rear splitter. I was concerned that I would lose the kick power liftgate, but I did not. Still works with the central rear splitter in place.

If you go to the bottom of the page for Maxton Design, they have the installation manuals for the parts "https://maxtondesign.com/Manuals-cabout-eng-32.html".

Excellent suggestion for the logos. Thanks
