I love the look. I installed mine couple weeks ago, tomorrow I will completed it with the decals. I was debating but decided to apply. will post pic. I been slowly doing it since I had shoulder surgery. but the decals I am taking to the local guy. the same that did my frontend PPF and covered all the black. the film he used make the black even darker and self healing so no micro scratches. he also installed it on the exterior B-pillar & Rocker panels. tomorrow besides installing the side decals he is going to PPF the carbon Fiber kit.
but again your car with that color CF really goes well. I have the mineral white. so CF blends with the black trim. Did you have to purchase the rear black panel. I noticed that Edriv40 comes with the trim needed to just add the three piece CF on rear diffuser.
 
Only hard part was the rockers. Measure the holes correctly with one arm. The rest self explanatory
I used all areas that are existing fasteners then I made
Sure I added and used all the optional mounting clips or screws. I just wanted make sure mounted with every possible way.
the decals also needed help so car
At shop having guy installing those plus PPF CF kit.
love the look.


if you have the edrive40 the back diffuser black panel
Can be reused. That’s a $300 usd savings.

once I heal probably able to install kit in about >4 hours. Without lift.
 
Does anyone have part numbers to these pieces. My dealer ordered the wrong one thinking the rear diffuser and front splitter was one piece. I see you took off the rear portion of the number. Is that another piece And again what’s the part number?
I will sent to you
Front is 4 piece
Rear is 4 piece too. Wierd that M60 has to replace the black piece of bumper. Looks like the eDrive40 has that piece. But without it the carbon fiber can’t be installed. Prior me send later search my post I have done this twice already all dealer part number
 
Hi. Where can I order these parts from. Just got the new I5 M60 and like the way it looks with the exterior carbon fiber kit.
I got them at dealer. Best price. Search the part number on these sites.
Which part you need number too. If you search my posts I have posted all numbers previously for the whole kit. Wierd that we need to get the rear bumper replaced with the one that comes on the edrive bumper. That piece need to be able to attach the CF diffuser

I love the way it made my car look. totally makes there car stand out among other i5.
 
Yes but as you say truck different I also have the part number purchase all those plus wheels at dealer. eBay have good one but the dealer to me look better.
