Be interested to hear your review of them, and which ones it is you actually bought.

I bought these ones. The plastic feels good, the red rubber feels good, and they installed perfectly. The only knock I have on them is it looks like the CF could have used another coat of clear. You can almost see the CF weave causing a slight unevenness in the clear if you look closely. I was fine with it given you can't notice once installed.

Buy the version without electronics and just use your stock ones (M3 style)

Can I ask? I have this same spoiler and I cannot get it to lay flat on the edges. Did you just use double sided tape? or like some sort of glue adhesive? I see a lot of problems with this and seeing people using 3M windshield glue.

It laid flat for me, and I secured it with the 3m tape that comes already attached to it from autoid. If it sits a few mm off of the surface the double sided tape should be fine to hold it down.

Hi, I have this same spoiler but cant seem to get the edges to lay flat without seeing the tape underneath. Did you use a adhesive glue of some sort instead? Yours looks nice and flush.

A few updates since my last post.

I ceramic coated the entire car and so far the front wheels and calipers. Also installed an MST intake with turbo inlet.

Hey chief

Interior parts from aliexpress
Shark fin antenna cover from autoid
Wing is from autoid
Mirror caps from https://www.yaodechain.com/product-p...er-mirror-caps

It's all holding up perfectly. I've been planning on ceramic coating the interior parts and exhaust tips, since I have some leftover from recently doing the entire car.

Really even the ali express stuff holds up? I guess it’s hard for that stuff to go bad on the interior as long as it fits and sticks lol.
Probably a little riskier to buy exterior mods.

Thanks brother

Yes, the interior pieces are high quality from a fit and finish (clear coat) perspective.

For exterior, yes, I wanted high quality finish and fitment so I went auto id. I took a risk on the CF mirror caps but they are perfect too.

I'd buy everything all over again with no changes... If anything maybe only better carbon OEM style paddle shifters. They look decent but looks like they skimped out on the clear coat over the CF
