Very impressed with the quality of this piece! Extremely light.

I'm thinking of just installing it myself - although I have no prior experience doing so.

Any tips from those who have installed this on their own F30? Thanks!

A few pics:

I have one, and although it looks good, my tip would be to return it to dealer ASAP and order one from e-bay or other supplier. It'll save you may 100's of $$$ and from what I've witnessed, quality is = or >

You have which one? A knock-off or the genuine BMW M Performance Part?

I was able to get this genuine M Performance spoiler for $420 from my dealer and I'm quite content with that price. Thanks for the suggestion though. I was looking more for installation-based tips.

So you took it to the dealer rather than doing it yourself. How much the dealer charged?

I thought about installing a spoiler on my 370z but decided against it for the simple fact that I am uncomfortable drilling into my trunk lol I don't trust myself enough to risk making a mistake. However, I don't know that I would go to BMW as opposed to going to a regular body shop. Though, you do have reassurance going to BMW...I think you'll be happy in the end; the trick is to not look back too much. Just be happy with the quality job you'll get and, since you're happy with the price they gave you, be happy with the price you pay.

The spoiler looks great btw!! I ordered one on mine that's due to arrive on the 24th!

I haven't installed it yet. I imagine the dealer won't charge me much - if anything. All they have to do is line it up and tape it on.

Yeah I'm too much of a perfectionist to install something like a spoiler myself. Even if I manage to do it perfectly, I'll still find a way to question or doubt the job I did.

Fortunately, my dealer has done an outstanding job in the past with respect to installing Dinan parts (on previous cars I've leased), radar detectors, and M Performance parts (exhaust, etc.). Hopefully the trend continues with the spoiler.

Cant wait to see it on your car! I just had the factory splitter installed and it looks fantastic. I didn't know the OEM CF spoiler was available now. It's been on backorder forever!
