I had the rocker panels PPF'd and the M Performance sides PPF'd prior to installation. The CF sides complement the CF Roof well.

Any pearls of wisdom for self-installing the OEM side skirts? The hardware included has metal screws and a bunch of plastic fasteners. I assume the plastic fasteners go in the outer lip of the skirt, but some advice would be helpful.

Finally had my skirts installed, painted them gloss black to match all the competition trim, very happy with the results. I wish BMW had a subtle front lip spoiler I could top it off with.

Reflectors I agree with, but the camera cover replacement I'd hold off on this being Alpine White. There'd be a big black dot in the center between grilles.

Car looks great though, the black skirts are a nice touch!

I know this is an older thread but researching the CF side skirts, I definitely like the way they look, just curious if any others have noticed that unassuming passengers, kids, dogs, ice/snow, speed bumps, etc, have any real potential of damaging the skirts? I don't want to spend $1500 and worry about ruining them in short order. Thanks for any feedback. The M5 I have on order will have port installed CF mirrors, pro spoiler and rear diffuser in Brands Hatch Grey, at first I didn't think the skirts would be missed, but as I wait and wait for the build, of course I waste time in lockdown pondering such trivial things...

I haven’t had issues with the skirts getting more than a brush of the foot. Not a big deal really. I would highly recommend getting PPF on them for scratch protection though.

Just Walter to pitch in on this thread, was looking in adding the pro spoiler and the splitters and really wanted the side skirts but thought the cost was way too much, so with the help of one old post on here and a little bit of google I added the side skirt from the G30 and then had it wrapped gloss black to match the wheels

Do the side skirts come with what looks like a "m performance" decal above them? I want the skirts, but don't want the decal
