But that's what's great about modding cars. You can do what "you" like

Here is mine installed...perfect color match and only took my son and I 5 minutes to install....getting one for the wife's Mercedes this week!

jparnes1 · 03-06-2014, 12:49 PM

Just received mine. Gotta wait for some warmer weather

tranquility · 03-06-2014, 12:59 PM

Hmm, the color-matching is nice but I do agree w/ some posters that the edges don't line up w/ the trunk.

jparnes1 · 03-06-2014, 01:58 PM

If you line up the edge corner of the spoiler with the upper corner of the rear light (like Fripp did) I think it looks OK.

rt30000 · 03-06-2014, 03:07 PM

Not a big fan. First thing I think of is weather strip, and the corners don't fit the body lines. But as always to each their own

BMWZ4RIDER · 04-09-2014, 02:32 PM

Finally warm enough weather to install my new spolier- $36.99 Ebay (Shipped), Custom Painted, my OEM Space Gray Metallic. The color match was excellent. As I have had this part inside my house for the past 2 months, the paint was very well cured and I did not experience any cracking when bending the spolier in place as some have reported.

This was very easy to install. I used the recommendations on this thread but I made it one step easier.

After measuring the spoiler lenght of 56.5 inch's and finding the center, I marked it with a long peice of electrical take. Then to find the EXACT center on the trunk lid, I simply used the center for the M on the BMW Roundel mounted on the Trunk. This Guaranteed having the exact center placement. I then taped the spoiler in line with the M on the Roundel and mounted and moved the spoiler in place on the trunk lid moving from the center out to each side and taped it in place for trial fit. Very Easy. Nice fit, Clean look and very good color match. I am very happy with the look. Just enough without going over board.

Alos mounted my new (2nd pair after the TETmotorsports disater) CF Mirror covers.

It really doesnt do the Z4 justice. Something along the lines of this one is more suiting

BMWZ4RIDER · 04-09-2014, 06:46 PM

That is very nice as well. How high does this spoiler sit? Does it block the center lamp?

It sure looks like it does. But I love the way it finishes at the ends. However, it's almost $1000.

Looks nice, but the price is a bit steep... I wonder if we can setup a group buy. :P or if they can make a FRP version since I prefer to color match.

They sell a FRP unit @$748.

If it was about $500... I would pull the trigger in a heartbeat...

I'm very happy with the way my $37 option turned out. Paint match was perfect. They even got the metallic sparkles to match perfectly. Very impressed and looks great.

Agreed. The total package at a price all can live with.

The CF is nice but not $750 to $1 grand nice. My opinion.

jparnes1 · 06-24-2014, 05:33 PM

Just finished installing (super easy) these 3 mods-
CF engine cover
Strut tower brace
eBay spoiler
I'm very happy with them all. I honestly can't say the strut bar made a huge difference because the car is pretty tight all ready, but hard sharp turns feel better. And of course, it looks cool

Looks good. Color match on spoiler is spot on.

....thanks!

It looks good IMO as it is subtle and when I consider the cost - great value.
