Any hints or tips to make the install as easy as possible? And where are the pics. Let's see how the car turned out!

Nick, Can you edit this post to reflect the correct price?

Also, these fit Sedan now. Just found out our shipment came with both.

You can make cut outs for the headlight washers or leave them uninstalled.

M3 Bumper install:
Ok guys.. this was pretty hard to do.. especially since i did it alone.. it took me a longgg time (about 5 hours today).. also, sorry for the crappy iPhone pics.. well here's a little short summary of what i did:

1. took of oem bumper - got instructions from the DIY section

2. took off original brake ducts from oem bumper.. theres 3 8mm bolts on the passenger side and 2 on the driver side
3. put on the matte black grills from my other bumper to the m3 one.. (they were almost impossible to get on because the tabs were too small on the bumper.. so with a LOT of force and some patience i got them on with only bending one tab..

4. test fit the bumper and it looked great exept for one part that i'll tell you about later

5. i was able to bolt on the oem m3 passenger side air duct to the oil cooler and it fit perfectly besides some trimming on the side towards the middle of the engine (one air duct down and one to go)

6. i ziptied the foglights to something (im not sure what it was lol) and wrapped bubble wrap around the bulbs so they won't break when the car bumps around..

7. i took a while to cut up the driver side air duct (i used a dremel) and i finally got it cut up enough so that it'd fit right in the area it needed to go

8. i used silicone and 3m tape to secure the middle grill and the driver side air duct TO the bumper itself (so one duct is connected to the car and one is connected to the bumper)

9. ^ that was a big mistake to do that early because now i had to drill holes in the bottom of the bumper to attach the bumper to the under tray thing.. but the grill was in my way.. so i had to do it a very annoyingly hard way..
10. i jacked up the car and slid under it and tried drilling a hole and lineing it up and all that but it was extremely hard because the bumper sits about 3 inches lower than the under tray.. so i ended up getting a ziptie and tieing it to the undertray so i'd be able to pull it down and get it on.. eventually i was able to get 3 screws in the middle of the car and one on each corner of the bottom (after moving the jack to both sides of the car a couple times and a very long time trying to line everything up)
11. i screwed back in the two top corners of the bumper and the sides and got everything back together..
12. DONE!!

13. here is the one problem with the bumper that i had:

I'm not sure if i'm missing any steps, but PM me if you have any questions...

cuban335i · 06-25-2009, 05:35 PM

That's my DIY guide.. my bumper was one of the first out of the manufactuer.. i got it in late april thats probably why there was that one problem.. i've also since then added a vorsteiner v-35 hood and i dropped the car on coilovers..

SV Concepts III · 06-25-2009, 08:21 PM

Wow really nice DIY. Thank you very much for posting that up.

SV Concepts III · 07-01-2009, 06:09 PM

Got a couple of these in stock here in Santa Clara.

SV Concepts II · 07-03-2009, 04:17 PM

KWY91 · 07-05-2009, 12:18 PM

Wow Cuban335i, that looks sweet on your car! That's gonna be one of the future mods when i get sick of M-tech

lpphreakx06 · 07-05-2009, 01:15 PM

They havent revised it so the corner doesnt stick out?

cuban335i · 07-05-2009, 01:58 PM

i think they have..

pdjafari · 07-06-2009, 03:38 PM

good DIY, may I ask where you ordered your M3 sides from?? I've ran out of patience waiting for M force....

SV Concepts · 07-06-2009, 04:18 PM

It's odd that one side fits better than the other... maybe it's an adjustment?
