Contact Andrew from Ind distribution. They are also sponsors on this forum.
866.963.4520.
I also got the awron gauge with them.

dharo1 · 05-09-2014, 07:20 PM

Finally, I got it! Here are the pictures before any add-on and the after. So far I added: black grilles, cf mirror covers, cf back spoiler, side decals.

Still need to install: side splitters, front splitter and awron gauge.

The before:

Was it easy to remove the stock trunk spoiler before you installed the new one?

dharo1 · 05-09-2014, 07:24 PM

After (note: Needs a clean up)

phoenixbmwlife · 05-09-2014, 07:28 PM

WOW! Car looks amazing! Congrats and great job on the install. Please let me know about the stock spoiler.

Need to be very careful not to scratch car. The factory spoiler has lots of adhesive. Here are the pics. The glue is concentrated in the corners and around the spoiler.
I bought extra glue for my cf spoiler. I didn't want to risk it.

Sorry, here they are.

What are these for? Are they required for installing the side decals?

phoenixbmwlife · 05-09-2014, 07:39 PM

Wow so you really just have to carefully pull it off. Hmm not sure I'd want to do that maybe I can just let the professional do it. I'll know better when I get my car. thanks for the response.

Not required for decals. But required for side splitters. I will need to drill the bottom part (that sucks)

dharo1 · 05-29-2014, 10:26 PM

Painted reflectors, spacers, tint, front splitter....still missing side splitters and awron gauge.

DanG · 05-29-2014, 10:57 PM

Looks great. Thanks for sharing.

dt20011 · 05-30-2014, 12:01 AM

Awesome, looks great!

YYZF22N55 · 05-30-2014, 12:04 AM

Looks good OP. What % tints and spacer size are you running?

Any plans on lowering with springs?

patbrass · 05-30-2014, 01:51 AM

Probably the best looking M235 I've seen so far!

JBizzle135i · 05-30-2014, 02:48 AM

I really don't know the % on tint....it's not going to pass inspection in 2 years (Texas), but I'll worry about that in two years. I walked in the store and just went with what looked good...yes, I was told that it was not going to pass inspection.
I have 10mm front and 15mm back. I think I could have gone with a little thicker in the front, but the back is perfectly flush with 15mm.
Lowering? I don't know about that...this car has become my DD (it was suppose to be my weekend drive, but I just can't resist).

mirror covers are the only non - oem parts. Ebay. Recently I saw them go down in price...I've been reading that they might turn yellowish with sun...well, there's nothing like the southwest Texas sun. I'll let you know what happens this summer.

I think the side blades need colour coding to the car. Otherwise it give the impression of too much ground clearance.

You're right. They come in matte black. I had them color matched to the car already. It just a matter of taping, drilling and rocking!

Lip looks good. Add that to my list of things
