Quick pics of my BMW Performance side skirts

I got the BMW performance side skirts installed Monday and finally was able to take a few quick pics. I apologize in advance, the car/wheels are a little dirty I will wash it this weekend and maybe take some better pics. Special thanks to Greg at GT Motoring for the awesome price and to Anthony at IND/A&L Auto Body for staying late and doing the install!

Now get rid of that crappy rear diffuser or paint it. I hate that BMW even put that POS on our cars.

Looks exactly like my car! The skirts make the car look infinitely better, IMHO. I picked them up within about 2 weeks of ownership.

Out of all BMW Performance parts, this is actually the only upgrade I would never consider...not a big fan, HOWEVER, I have to say they look great on your car, and overall your car looks very clean!

I have to say I felt the same way, but they are growing on me. These are some great pictures too, somehow the side skirts look better to me on this car.

They are subtle, but really make the car look a lot better. I think they would look good on black too.
