Anyone install the MP Carbon Pro spoiler? I assume they intend it to be used with betalink as it doesn't have any 2 sided tape mines two tiny pieces meant for alignment I think. But I don't want to do that as this is a lease. Would prefer just 2 sided tape.

Oh man that was not easy getting that 2 sided tape up. It did not want to budge. And I'm pretty sure I put some marks in the clear coat because of it. Thank god it's a light color cuz you can't really tell and it should be easily fixed when I go to get ceramic coated next week

Wow man. Well done. I had mine done by a body shop...OEM lip spoiler was actually betalinked on. There is a prior discussion around some people's lip spoiler being betalinked and others using tape. I had to have some paint correction done in that area and then ceramic coated. Came out great in the end.

ya i think mine was tape but it could have been betalink, never seen the product but it was a bit different than the stuff behind the emblems so quite possible. Will def need correction in that small area. HOpefully the place i am taking to get PPF and ceramic won't mind quickly doing that before coating cuz i opted out of the paint correction due to the light color and the 2 month wait. They're already over charging me for the ppf and the ceramic in my opinion but whatever, i don't have a ton of options.

On a side note, RKP mirrors were supposed to be here yesterday but fedex failed to deliver despite being on the truck. on duty all day today so hopefuly they show up and i can install them tomorrow along with the accexon reflector replacement things, i left the oem ones off when i put on the difffuser cuz i figured it would be easy. some things come in tomorrow from IND...not sure yet what, we'll have to wait and see! i know the black grill will take some time cuz i'm having them paint the emblem black and put the M stripes on it because why not.

Got the painted markers installed today. Getting ppf and ceramic done tomorrow. Well should take a couple days to do it all they said. Hopefully they have time to fix the area around the rear spoiler. If not I'll just make another appt. Can't tell unless you are looking for it nevertheless. Decided to just have the front bumper ppf done to save some money (they want a lot to do it all). Grill should be here in a week or so and it's coming already coated by IND. mostly looking forward to having the breaks and black rims coated. Bought the stuff for my X5 months ago but still haven't had the ebergy to pull them off and decontaminate them and then apply the coating.

Just dropped her off at Simple Details of VB. Pretty impressed with their shop. Going to have the bumper ppf. And then ceramic coated inside and outside. Also going to have them put xpel ceramic 35% all around and 70% on windshield and sunroof. At 98% heat reduction i look forward to laughing at summer in the face the next 3 years. Lol

I have heard stories of sunroof window tint causing the glass to crack. But that may have been with dark tint. Be sure to ask the installer if they think it is safe.

Hmm that's interesting. Haven't heard that one. Have had it on my X5 panoramic for the last 3 years with no issues. Suspect it had more to do with the absorption of heat than the color of the tint though. I'll check to see what he says though. Thanks.

So I looked into it and found it's actually a myth that tint causes sunroof to crack. For it to crack it would be from an imperfection in the glass construction itself apparently. But thanks for the heads up

Car is finally back in my garage. Had to extend a couple days due to the windshield tint having to be redone but she is finally back. Autotecknic cf key and "mud flaps?" Don't recall what they're called but will be popping those in shortly.

Anyway had gyeon put on all the glass. And kamikazi ism on the rest of the car. And I forget what they put on the carpet and leather surfaces inside the car too but that as well was coated.

Installed the autotecknic cf mud guards (someone else makes them I'm quite sure). Pretty simple. Took about 10 min total. Added some two sided tape to the bottom edge to keep them from flapping as they only come with 2 replacement mushroom rivets.

Appreciate it. Put on the oem black chrome exhaust tips. Also super easy. Was glad to see BMW make something easy to replace for once. Didn't even need a rubber mallet just pulled them off with some muscle. Didn't take pics yet but will post my now completed back end. May eventually get the IND painted hood and trunk emblems. Well see. I do hate chrome and I've all but removed it all now. Even got the black ind painted floating center caps.
