This is kindof the reason I'm struggling with picking out wheels..
yeah I am torn. there are aspects of both I like. I like how the actual lip of the Reiger does not stick out as far as the RW Carbon/3D one. However, I dont like the look between the Reiger and the bottom of the bumper as it curves under the car.

Only question I have for you is why didn't you get the gloss black to match your kidney grills and all the other gloss black on the car? Just curious

Didn't get glossy black because the m4 side skirt extension is matte

Nice. Did you use any double sided tape or just the included screws? I assume you had drill into the bumper?

i did not use any tape. There are 8 existing screws & 2 existing clips that don't require drilling. Using those ensure perfect alignment.

From there, yes there are 14 pre-drilled locations along the front edge of the lip for rivets. Those require drilling in the underside of the bumper. I like it because the rivets bring the lip super flush with the car and the holes won't be seen or noticed really if I ever remove the lip. The fit is waaaaay secure.

very happy. i'll take some better pics hopefully this weekend.
the car is now screaming for the M4 side sills and of course wheels, etc. it just don't stop, auuughhh

ryanSTL any chance of a pic of the front more at ground level? I want to have a better look at the part of the spoiler that seems to stick up in the middle section. I think with your dark car, this feature doesnt stand out as much but my car is Alpine White.

The extensions are attached via doublesided tape and 15 plastic expanding screws on each side. You will have to drill into the rocker panel.

I ended up cutting mine to make it fit better but I think you can install without cutting. I am not so sure how flat the sills will sit unless you cut some material away. I also think you have to file a small section down to allow the the sill to be positioned correctly. Check out my build thread. In the first post is a link to what I had to do to mod and install the extensions.

Let me know if you have any questions.
