Very nice, the TS makes the performance side skirts really pop. You should consider the CF diffuser and spoiler too.
Were you shopping for a used tractor?

Very nice! Are those the "135 add-on" pieces from the BMW accessories catalog?

I did look at the difuser, but the price put me off a bit

did you have to get them painted too, or do they come in the matching body color? Did you do the install yourself? If so, how would you rate the level of difficulty?

LMAO. 2 funny.

Creepy, I'm diggin' the new rocker panels. Besides the ghastly gray diffuser the side skirts are a bit weak on the einser. At first blush these aero skirts didn't really blow my hair back, but the more I see them the more it makes me think it's something I'll have to do down the road.

Do you happen to have a side shot of the car with the original skirts so we can see the old and new, one on top of the other?

They came painted from Germany, I bought them from my local dealer already painted.

I say they are a 2 out of 5 to fit, 5 being real tricky

A basic how to here.
