I did mine yesterday as well. Went different way. Used 1.5" construction grade clear 3M tape with 3M activator and put few SS #10 screws(don't use selftapers, they make to big hole in plastic. No washers or nuts needed. I had few body kits installed. I tried to remove it once on my 750i and it was almost impossible.

Is that the ebay rear diffuser that comes in gloss black? I was wondering how is the fitment and paint quality?

Thanks for the info. I saw it but i wasn't sure if i wanted to take a chance on it. Typically taiwan made items tends to fit quite good compared to china.

Hey guys, just got done installing today. Shipping time from eBay was incredible, 4 days from date of sale to delivery (New York). Overall, my comments and opinions are in line with 914, MaCay and raindropm4... great value for the money, perfect fit and good looking. Although, lack of instructions and improper installation materials did prolong the install process.
Overall, I'd recommend 👍🏻 |

Looks really great. You have the same look I'm going for. How much was the lip? Install it yourself? Btw, where did you get the side Mirrors- I like! |

I did the install myself, about one hours time. I had to purchase different screws and double sided 3m automotive backing tape. With shipping, came out to $288- And the mirrors are off an F85, they fit perfectly. You can get them for well under $100 off amazon or eBay. |

You can also get F87 X3M mirrors but you have to change the outer ring as well. Set will run you around 500$ with painting. Im not sure if you have to change the ring for F85 mirrors to fit. But as Jack said its way cheaper. I just liked the look a lil bit better with that agresive line on the mirror. |

I'm glad this thread helped at least a couple folks. All these rides looking great!
Thinking "maybe" I should have gone with "M" mirror caps like a few of you have. It looks really good. I installed M mirror caps on my 340 once, and hated them. It just didn't look right without flared M fenders. On a G05 though?? It looks right. Maybe once I get the wheels I want, and set the suspension the way I want, it will be "aggressive" enough for me to get some M mirror caps. |

One of my friends sent me this, didn't know they had a roof spoiler on offer as well. Don't know how it'd look or hold up over time: https://www.ebay.com/itm/233497963686 |

I would eventually like to look into retrofitting an F95 rear bumper and muffler with the quad tips. I think that would look so much better then the fake ones now. Not sure if it's doable. |

For those who installed the lip with PPF on the bumper did you have to take some of the PPF out so the tape sticks directly to the bumper? I'm considering this and checked mine has PPF til far back under.
